1. WHAT PARTS OF THE BUILDING ARE INSPECTED IN THE ITE?

All structural elements of the building are inspected, such as:

Building foundations
Current state of the structure
Current state of the interior facades
Plumbing and electricity
Current state of the exterior facades
Medians
Covers
Rooftops
Sanitation facilities

It is also inspected if the building complies with current regulations for it’s type, such as, basic conditions of universal accessibility.

2. WHAT IS THE DEADLINE TO PRESENT THE FIRST INSPECTION, AFTER 50 YEARS OF THE HOUSE HAVE PASSED OF THE HOUSE?

Mandatory, the first general inspection must be carried out immediately the building meets the corresponding 50 years for it. Then, if the ITE is favorable, visits will be made by professionals every 10 years. At Munoz Barcia Architects, we have a group of professionals available to you every day for free. Contact us!

3. IF THE BUILDING HAS BEEN REHABILITATED BEFORE THE AGE OF 50, WHAT PROCEDURE SHOULD YOU CARRY OUT?

If rehabilitation works have already been carried out in the building, and the corresponding works licenses and the certification of the end of the works must be submitted to the regulatory body, the regulatory body will study the dates on which these reforms were made and notify the property which would be the date on which they must present the ITE again.

4. SHOULD AN ADDITIONAL PROCEDURE BE CARRIED OUT AT THE TIME OF COMPLETION OF THE WORKS THAT RESULTED FROM AN UNFAVORABLE ITE?

There are two possibilities in this regard:

If no technical intervention is required: Together with the responsible technical professional, a signed report is drawn up and the ITE is carried out again.
If technical intervention is required: A certificate must be delivered to make official that the works resulting from the ITE were carried out and the building is now stable, the report and a new ITE will be delivered.

It is essential to make sure that the building is in order, since the ITE is a legal procedure that must be mandatory for all the buildings that it affects. It is also a social responsibility to keep the building in good condition, with the correct rehabilitation.
