Licensed Professional Engineers • Stanford & Stevens MS Structural Engineering • NJ/NY Licensed
PE Inspection LLC delivers professional home inspections throughout Bayonne — from the established neighborhoods along Broadway to the new construction near the former Military Ocean Terminal. Our Licensed Structural Engineers bring a detailed, code-informed approach to every property we evaluate.
Our services include home inspection, structural inspection, termite/WDI inspection, and radon testing. For condominium buildings subject to NJ S2760, our team performs the required structural evaluations. See our Inspection Findings page for examples.
Bayonne's housing stock is characterized by attached and semi-attached row homes, two-family properties, and an increasing number of new-construction townhomes. Older homes along the peninsula commonly have balloon-frame construction, aging heating systems, and moisture issues in below-grade spaces. New construction at the Bayonne Crossing and Peninsula developments requires verification of finish quality, waterproofing, and systems installation.
Bayonne's housing is characterized by attached row homes, two-family properties, and a growing number of new-construction townhomes. Older homes commonly feature balloon-frame construction, which presents unique fire safety concerns, along with aging heating systems and moisture issues in below-grade spaces. We frequently identify deteriorated siding, inadequate drainage, and electrical panels that need upgrading.
In newer developments at Bayonne Crossing and along the former Military Ocean Terminal, our inspections verify finish quality, waterproofing details, and proper installation of mechanical systems. Buyers benefit from our engineering perspective, which identifies problems that surface-level inspections often miss.
PE Inspection LLC is founded by two Licensed Professional Engineers with graduate degrees in structural engineering from Stanford University and Stevens Institute of Technology. Both founders hold active PE licenses in NJ and NY. When our inspection identifies a structural concern, we diagnose it on the spot — no separate engineer required.
Bayonne’s housing stock includes some of the oldest balloon-frame construction in Hudson County. Our structural engineering backgrounds mean we can assess the specific vulnerabilities of this construction type and distinguish cosmetic issues from genuine structural concerns.
Our engineering perspective is particularly valuable in Bayonne, where buyers frequently encounter renovated properties that look updated on the surface but may have underlying structural or systems issues that require professional evaluation.
Do you inspect the older row homes and two-families in Bayonne?
Yes. Bayonne’s older housing stock — balloon-frame construction, brick row homes, pre-war two-families — is exactly the type of building where engineering-level inspection adds value. We understand balloon framing, its fire-stopping requirements, and the structural vulnerabilities specific to that construction era.
Do you inspect new construction near the former Military Ocean Terminal?
Yes. The Peninsula at Bayonne Harbor and surrounding new construction areas have active development. New construction inspections assess framing quality, waterproofing, mechanical rough-in, and code compliance before and during construction milestones.
Do you do S2760 inspections for Bayonne condo buildings?
Yes. Both founders are NJ PE-licensed and qualified to perform S2760 structural inspections for Bayonne condo and co-op associations. Learn more →
