**PROPERTY SPECIFICATIONS:**

- Special Focus Areas: [SPECIAL_FOCUS_AREAS] (Optional: e.g., Mold concerns, Foundation issues, Energy efficiency, Accessibility modifications)

**OUTPUT REQUIREMENTS:**
Create a detailed inspection checklist organized by the following categories. For each item, include: [ ] Checkbox, Item description, Acceptable standard criteria, Red flags/warning signs, and Photo documentation requirements (Y/N).

**CATEGORIES TO COVER:**
1. **Structural Integrity** (Foundation, framing, load-bearing walls, basement/crawl space)
2. **Roof & Exterior** (Roofing materials, gutters, siding, drainage, landscaping impact)
3. **Electrical Systems** (Panel capacity, wiring type, outlets, lighting, safety devices)
4. **Plumbing Systems** (Water pressure, pipe materials, drainage, water heater, fixtures)
5. **HVAC & Climate Control** (Heating, cooling, ventilation, ductwork, thermostat efficiency)
6. **Interior Condition** (Flooring, walls, ceilings, doors, windows, insulation)
7. **Safety & Compliance** (Smoke/CO detectors, fire exits, handrails, code violations)
8. **Environmental Factors** (Mold, asbestos, radon, lead paint, pest infestation signs)
9. **Site & Grounds** (Driveway, walkways, fencing, outdoor structures, grading)
10. **Documentation & Legal** (Permits, warranties, HOA docs, utility records, disclosure requirements)

**FORMAT SPECIFICATIONS:**

- Add location-specific considerations based on [LOCATION] climate (e.g., freeze protection, hurricane strapping, seismic anchoring)
- Include estimated time allocation for each section
- Add "Inspector Notes" column space after each item
- Create a summary "Deal Breakers" section highlighting items that should halt the transaction
- Include follow-up professional referrals needed (structural engineer, electrician, etc.)

**TONE & STYLE:**
Professional, thorough, objective, and organized. Use industry-standard terminology while ensuring clarity for non-experts. Prioritize safety hazards and code violations at the top of each section.
Best Use Cases
Pre-purchase home inspections for buyers wanting to negotiate repairs or price reductions based on documented deficiencies
Rental property turnover assessments to distinguish between tenant-caused damage and normal wear for security deposit disputes
Commercial real estate due diligence for investors acquiring multi-unit properties or office buildings requiring ADA compliance verification
New construction punch lists for buyers to document incomplete work or defects before final closing with the builder
Insurance claim documentation for landlords or homeowners needing detailed evidence of storm, fire, or water damage for adjusters
