Licensed Professional Engineers • Stanford & Stevens MS Structural Engineering • NJ/NY Licensed
PE Inspection LLC provides thorough home inspections across Newark — from the tree-lined streets of Forest Hill and Vailsburg to the investment properties of the Ironbound and South Ward. Our team of Licensed Structural Engineers delivers detailed reports that protect buyers and investors alike.
Our services include home inspection, structural inspection, termite/WDI inspection, and radon testing. For condominium buildings subject to NJ S2760 structural inspection requirements, our team is qualified to perform the mandatory evaluations. See our Inspection Findings page for real examples.
Newark's housing inventory includes a significant number of older wood-frame and masonry homes built in the early to mid-1900s. Common findings include deteriorated roofing, outdated electrical systems, aging plumbing with galvanized or lead service lines, and deferred structural maintenance. Multi-family properties — a large segment of Newark transactions — require careful evaluation of fire separations, egress compliance, and shared building systems.
Newark's housing stock includes a large number of early-to-mid 1900s wood-frame and masonry homes, many of which have been converted to multi-family use. Common findings in our inspections include deteriorated roofing, outdated electrical systems with fuse panels, galvanized plumbing with reduced flow, and deferred structural maintenance — particularly in foundation walls and floor framing.
For investors purchasing multi-family properties in the Ironbound, South Ward, or Central Ward, our inspections address structural load paths, fire separation compliance, egress requirements, and shared building systems. Our engineering-level reports provide the documentation needed to negotiate with confidence and plan for capital improvements.
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.
Newark’s housing stock spans pre-war brick multi-family, two- and three-family investment properties, and new construction. Our structural engineering backgrounds mean we understand the construction methods, failure modes, and code-era differences across Newark’s diverse building types.
For investors purchasing multi-family properties in Newark, our inspections go beyond surface-level observations. We evaluate structural load paths, identify code-related concerns, and document conditions with photos and detailed narratives so you can negotiate with confidence.
Do you inspect multi-family investment properties in Newark?
Yes. We regularly inspect 2-family, 3-family, and larger multi-family buildings throughout Newark — including Ironbound, Forest Hill, Vailsburg, South Ward, and the downtown core. Investor-focused reports documenting deferred maintenance, structural concerns, and capital expenditure items are available.
Do you check for lead paint and lead plumbing in older Newark homes?
We note visible evidence of pre-1978 paint that may contain lead and flag potential lead plumbing fixtures (lead pipes, solder, fittings) in our reports. For certified lead inspection and risk assessment, we recommend a NJ-licensed lead inspector — we can refer you to one.
