Wind Mit Scenario #19 (I think)

Local Inspection Issues Florida Home Inspectors
#1

We have belabored the issue of roof shape in regards to a multi-family unit, and I think we all more or less agree that the entire building is considered in the designation of shape.

My question then - And I don’t believe it was discussed in the training sessions I attended, but…

In a condo or townhome where the subject property is one story masonry construction, other units are two story and the upper story is frame construction.

Do you calculate percentage frame/masonry for the entire structure, and do you classify the subject property as one or two stories?

#2

Yes, absolutely! You already know, lets see who else does.

#3

Surely all the experts out there have an opinion!!

#4

You would use the whole building, unless the roofs are divided by a masonry wall. Like Wind Mit #18. It helps to have pictures.
