Ohio Admin. Code 1301:17-1-15 - Peer review
(A) Requirements for a home inspector peer
review:
(1) A sponsoring home inspector
organization selects a residential property, which is inspected by at least one
active Ohio licensed home inspector in good standing for potential
issues.
(2) A participant is given
time to inspect the residential property as if the participant was performing
home inspection services for a paying client.
(3) After conducting the inspection, the
participant presents the inspection findings to a peer review panel consisting
of two or more active Ohio licensed home inspectors or to a board approved
instructor who meets the requirements set forth in paragraph (E)(2) of rule
1301:17-1-11 of the
Administrative Code who will evaluate the participant's home inspection
abilities.
(4) The participant
should demonstrate sufficient technical knowledge about the property and be
able to identify at least seventy per cent of the material defects with the
property. For purposes of this rule, a material defect is defined as an
observable specific issue with a system or component of a residential property
that may have a significant, adverse impact on the value of the property, or
that poses an unreasonable risk to people. Following a peer review, the
participant may be required to successfully complete an examination
administered by the sponsoring home inspector organization, but successful
completion of a peer review course examination
shall not be a requirement for this rule.
(5) Successful participants are awarded a
certificate of completion by the sponsoring home inspector
organization.
(6) A sponsoring home
inspector organization for this rule can be any person who meets the
requirements found in paragraph (E)(3) of rule

Administrative Code or an active Ohio licensed home inspector with at least
five years of experience in home inspection and in good standing with the Ohio
division of real estate and professional licensing.
