FAQ

  • Resident, Owner, or their Agent

    Only someone that is authorized to grant access to the property can request an inspection.  This is usually the property owner (seller), or their agent (e.g., a property manager, a real estate professional or other professional whose contract explicitly authorizes them to request such an inspection). A prospective buyer or their agent is generally not authorized to request an inspection. 

  • Request a SCHEDULED inspection

    This could be for many reasons:

    • there’s a locked gate,

    • a dog usually has free access to the yard,

    • a tenant needs to be notified,

    • the owner wants to be present

    • you have a contractor scheduled

    • etc

    Request a SCHEDULED appointment for a specific date and time here

    The owner is responsible for notifying a resident/tenant of the upcoming inspection in accordance with tenancy laws and rental agreements.

  • The confirmation email comes from no-reply@defensiblespacereport.org

    • Check your spam/junk folder for the email

    • add the email address to your “safe senders” or “whitelist”

    • email dspace@truckeefire.org with the property address, your name and the approximate date/time you submitted the request.
