Default inspection definition
Default inspection means a physical inspection of the exterior areas of the property conducted by the beneficiary or its agent following the occurrence of a breach or event of default by the trustor under a deed of trust. When practicable, each default inspection shall be conducted upon prior reasonable notice and consent of the trustor and/or the occupant of the property. In instances when the trustor and/or the occupant cannot reasonably be obtained despite due and diligent inquiry by the beneficiary, or where the trustor or the occupant may expressly refuse to give the beneficiary consent to a default inspection, the beneficiary or its agent shall conduct the default inspection of the exterior areas of the property which may be viewed from the adjacent public right-of-way or from adjacent property on which the owner or occupant of such adjacent property has consented to entry onto such adjacent property by the beneficiary for the purpose of conducting a default inspection of the adjoining property. The beneficiary, or its agent, shall maintain a written record of the time and date of each default inspection and shall identify the individual who conducted the default inspection. The written record of each default inspection shall at a minimum indicate whether, at the time of the default inspection, the property was: (1) occupied or vacant, and if vacant, set forth facts to support the evidence of vacancy; (2) in compliance with the general maintenance and monitoring standard set forth in Section 8.60.040; and (3) if security appliances have been installed on the property by either the trustor, the beneficiary or its agent, or by another entity, the default inspection report shall indicate whether the installed security appliances are intact and in good and serviceable condition. A default inspection report shall contain such other property-specific information as the Chief Building Official or the City Manager or his/her designee may direct in writing to the beneficiary.
