Periodic Inspections of Condominium Systems
Condominiums are a widespread reality in Italy, bringing together multiple households composed of people of different ages, cultures, and conditions, including individuals with disabilities. This diversity necessitates special attention to safety and regular inspections. The condominium administrator must identify and assess all existing risks and can rely on experts to:
- Identify and resolve potential risks;
- Prevent accidents, injuries, and harm to people and animals;
- Inspect systems and devices for common use (gates, lifelines, elevators, plumbing systems, electrical systems, etc.);
- Conduct chemical and microbiological analyses;
- Ensure compliance with regulations.
