About this file
This is a home inspection report prepared by Elite Choice Inspections for Clay County at 2651 Sapp Lane, Middleburg, Florida 32068, inspected on June 16, 2025, by Inspector Gregory King. The inspection identified numerous structural and safety defects requiring immediate attention across multiple building systems. Significant exterior defects include siding gaps and missing sections with damaged insulation that could allow moisture penetration, a degraded exterior door with rotted framing, and deck boards that are loose and rotted due to pest damage. The foundation and structural systems present the most critical concerns, with improper joist alterations and inadequate support posts in the crawl space that do not meet standard building practices, evidence of water intrusion causing wood rot and continuous moisture problems, a floor joist that has fallen loose compromising structural integrity, falling insulation throughout the crawl space, and exposed PBC drain pipes prone to damage. Interior defects noted include pest activity observed within the home. The inspection recommends sealing siding gaps, installing approved replacement siding, replacing the degraded door and frame, reattaching and replacing damaged deck boards, isolating water sources with further evaluation and repair of affected floor structures, and engaging qualified structural engineers and pest specialists to address the identified deficiencies.
The inspection report serves as the technical baseline for the related Clay County RFP for Housing Foundation and Substructure Rehabilitation Services at the same property. This report documents the scope and severity of structural deficiencies that contractors bidding on the CDBG-funded project must address, with the RFP requiring removal and replacement of deteriorated floor framing components and restoration of the substructure to code-compliant conditions. Contractors submitting proposals must account for all deficiencies identified in this inspection report in their lump-sum pricing, with no additional compensation available for site conditions already visible in the structural inspection documentation. The inspection findings directly inform the project scope, pricing requirements, and contractor qualifications necessary for successful completion of the foundation rehabilitation work.
