INSPECT
60th Floor · Midtown
"The curtain wall had been weeping
for three years. No one told the buyer."
Pre-Purchase Inspection · Luxury Condominiums
What's hiding
behind the finish?
We walk every inch before you sign — testing radiant floors, scoping behind imported marble, pressure-checking hydronic risers on units from the 20th floor to the penthouse.

The Guided Walk-Through
Room by room. System by system.
Nothing assumed.
Click the hotspots to reveal what our inspection uncovers — the findings that staging conceals and standard walkthroughs miss entirely.
Mullion Joint
Thermal camera reveals sealant void. Moisture ingress confirmed at 6 points.
Condensation Channel
Drainage path blocked by debris. Standing water risk in track.
Thermal Bridge
IR imaging shows 14°F differential — energy loss & condensation risk.
Great Room & Curtain Wall
The view is the product.
The glass system is the risk.
Floor-to-ceiling curtain walls in high-rise condominiums are engineered to perform for decades — but sealant failure, thermal bridging, and condensation channels tell a different story. We pressure-test every mullion joint and read the thermal gradient across the glass unit.
Field Finding
Finding rate: sealant failure detected in 1 of 3 units above the 40th floor.

Cold Spot
Thermal imaging reveals failed loop — 22°F below ambient at 6 sq ft zone.
Manifold Pressure
Loop pressure 4 PSI below spec. Silent leak inside slab confirmed.
Primary Suite & Radiant Floor
Warmth is a system,
not a feeling.
Hydronic radiant floor systems in luxury condominiums require precise pressure testing, loop mapping, and manifold inspection. A single failed loop in a 2,400 sq ft primary suite means tearing up hand-laid stone. We find the cold spots before closing.
Field Finding
Finding rate: radiant loop failure or pressure loss in 1 of 5 luxury units inspected.

Panel Modification
Double-tapped breaker on 40A circuit. Code violation — fire risk.
HVAC Coil
Evaporator coil showing microbial growth. Air quality impact confirmed.
Distribution Board
Neutral bus corrosion. Probable moisture event within 24 months.
Mechanical Closet & Electrical
The finish hides
what the panel reveals.
Custom millwork conceals electrical panels, distribution boards, and HVAC controls in luxury units. We open every door. We map every circuit, read the load, check the breaker ratings, and inspect the HVAC coil condition behind the flush grille.
Field Finding
Finding rate: undersized circuit or improper panel modification in 2 of 5 units.

Client Voices
The inspection paid for itself
before the report was printed.
Our client was three days from closing on a $4.8M penthouse in Hudson Yards. The Inspect report found a failed post-tension tendon in the balcony slab. We renegotiated $340,000 off the purchase price.

I stake my reputation on every close. When I send a buyer to Inspect, I know the report will either confirm the unit or protect my client. Either outcome is the right one. I've used them on 22 transactions.

I wired earnest money on a 58th-floor corner unit with a terrace. The curtain wall had been 'recently resealed' per the seller. Inspect's thermal imaging found moisture behind four mullions. I walked.

Why Inspect
The gap between
beauty and soundness.
Luxury staging is designed to make you feel — not think. Our inspection is designed to make you know.
The Specialist
18 years inspecting condominiums above the 20th floor
Every inspector carries a flashlight. We carry FLIR thermal cameras, Protimeter moisture meters, calibrated pressure gauges, and an electrical load tester. The difference isn't the checklist — it's what we find on it.
