2010s homes were generally built to recent energy and safety codes, but build year alone does not rule out hazards such as radon. Primary concerns are verifying builder quality, confirming all permits were pulled and closed, and checking the age of each major system.
What to Inspect
Request the original building permits and certificate of occupancy. Review any HOA or builder warranty documentation. A standard home inspection may not include radon testing; EPA recommends testing homes for radon regardless of age.
