Which of these describes a voluntary inspection of a single or multi-family residence?

• A. Fire safety survey
• B. Home audit
• C. Structural inspection
• D. Public health review

Answer: (A)

A voluntary, home-focused fire safety check best fits this description. A fire safety survey is typically offered by the fire department to homeowners to identify fire hazards and provide safety guidance without any requirement to comply with a code. It focuses on practical prevention steps for a residence, such as ensuring working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, planning escape routes, safe use and storage of heating and cooking equipment, and reducing electrical or other fire hazards. It isn’t about inspecting the building’s structure, evaluating energy use, or assessing public health concerns; those are addressed by other types of inspections or audits.
