Commercial Inspection in Alaska

General Inspection Topics
1

I am a licensed home inspector in Washington and do a number of commercial inspections as well. Just had a request to do an inspection on a hotel in Anchorage, AK. Does anyone here know if I need to be licensed in order to do this inspection?

Maybe @jkaufman can help if he still around. Might want to look him up and send a email.

No, but make sure you have an understanding on what your client expects for the seismic review. Is it just a review of the UBC content, or do they need peak ground acceleration, etc.

I found out that I need to get a business license, which appears to be quickly obtained online. The seismic review is new to me. Is this a standard request for commercial inspections in Alaska?
