Critical
Electrical · Main panel

Federal Pacific Stab-Lok panel — recalled product, fire hazard

The main service panel is a Federal Pacific Stab-Lok model. These panels have a documented failure rate of approximately 60% to trip during overload, posing a substantial fire risk. Recommend a licensed electrician replace the panel before move-in.

Critical
Plumbing · Water heater

Water heater missing TPR discharge tube

The temperature/pressure relief valve has no discharge piping. Per Florida Building Code 504.6, this creates a scalding and rupture risk. Discharge must terminate within 6" of the floor with rigid copper or CPVC.

Major
Roof · South-east slope

3 cracked clay tiles; underlayment exposure visible from roof inspection

💰 Estimated repair cost: $450 – $850
Major
HVAC · Air handler

Air handler 18 years old · refrigerant R-22 (discontinued)

The air handler is past its expected service life (12-15 years) and uses R-22 refrigerant which the EPA phased out in 2020. Repairs that require refrigerant recharging will be costly and limited in supply. Replacement should be budgeted within 1-2 years.

Minor
Exterior · West-side wall

Hairline stucco crack — non-structural

Vertical hairline stucco crack at the west elevation near the kitchen window, approximately 4 feet long. Consistent with normal settlement; no evidence of structural movement. Recommend sealing with elastomeric caulk to prevent moisture intrusion.
