A message from Martin Grant, Owner/Chief Inspector, Noteworthy Property Inspections:

"I hope to see many of you at the Pacific West Association of Realtors (PWAOR) Expo on Thursday July 13 at the Disneyland Hotel. Please stop by and visit with me at Booth #215. For free entry to the Expo you need to register in advance at www.PWAOR.org or 888-4PW-POWE(R).

In this issue of my newsletter I have several safety related educational articles for Realtors, Buyers, and Sellers. In addition CREIA is continuing it's monthly news-release series entitled "Common Myths & Realities about Home Inspections".

We hope you find this information interesting and informative. Please feel free to use all of this information and pass it on to your colleagues and associates."

Hazards of the Consolidated Industries H-Series Horizontal Atmospheric Furnace - (Sellers and/or agents are often asked to disclose the presence of hazardous "Consolidated Furnaces". This article explains the hazards, and provides a detailed list of affected Trade Names and Model Numbers.)
Online Permit Archive at the City of Long Beach - (We always recommend that buyers check the building permit history of any property they purchase. The City of Long Beach makes this process very easy by providing an on-line permit archive accessible to anyone. Click on this link to visit the site and take a look. More and more Cities are likely to adopt this approach in future.)
