I have done my research, PA does not have a governing body in regards to home inspectors. It is stated that a person be in good standing with a national association (such as InterNACHI) and abide by a code of ethics. The 100 inspections is an InterNACHI requirement, not a PA requirement. I emailed InterNACHI but haven’t received a response. Just thought I’d ask to see if anyone else had a situation similar to my own.
Exactly. Your profile says you are a CPI so you are a bonafide member of a national organization in good standing. Nothing else is required from INACHI. Next.
James, that is not accurate. It is an outdated PA law that actually requires that the association that your a member of does not give you “full membership” unless you have completed 100 inspections. It must have been a way to force an inspector to join ASHI. You are a full member of Nachi once you pass NACHI’s certification exam.
In my opinion, you cannot legally comply with every component of the PA requirement without violating another part of it.
The spirit of the law suggests that only an experienced inspector that is a member in good standing with a national Home Inspection association may perform inspections in PA. But that is just my opinion.
