What type of items is an inspector not required to inspect?

An inspector is not required to inspect decorative items because their primary focus is on critical components that affect the safety, functionality, and overall condition of the property. Decorative items often serve aesthetic purposes and do not typically impact the structure, safety, or systems of a home such as plumbing, electrical, or HVAC systems. Inspections are generally centered around major structural elements, utility systems, and safety features. Since decorative items do not fall into these categories, they are excluded from required inspections, allowing inspectors to concentrate on significant issues that may affect a property's integrity or the well-being of its occupants.
