Is olfactory detection of methane/natural gas odorant the only reasonable method of discovering gas leaks when the connectors are not accessible?

Is the inspector required to comment on or report as deficient those gas appliance shut-off valves and connectors not visible or accessible without moving the gas appliances?

Are gas ranges, built-in wall ovens, or clothes dryers considered to be large, heavy, fragile objects which could be damaged or cause damage while being moved, and an undue hazard and risk to the inspector?

Is the definition of accessible, as applied to gas appliance connections, left to the reasonable judgment of the inspector?

Is the presence of a gas shut off valve that requires a tool to turn off deficient?

Is the inspector required to be report the mere presence of an FPE panel as deficient? 2. Is the inspector required to warn or advise of the alleged risks if TREC determines the panel is not required to be reported as deficient?

Is the absence of weather-strip on the door a required reporting deficiency?

Does TREC consider a roof with roofing felt ending short of the drip edge and the rake not overlapped over the drip edge a required reporting deficiency? If yes, is the inspector required to inspect 100% of the materials under the edge of the roof?

Is the inspector required by the Standards to state or explain a condition as a hazard to the consumer?

Is an egress window with a sill greater than 44 inches from the floor a required reporting item and deficient? Will advising the client to place a climbable object (such as the chest) supersede the need to identify the item as deficient?
