DFS photo requirements:

 

Included with each inspection must be a minimum of six (6) photographs and a maximum of twenty (20) photographs of each residence inspected (minimum of four of the exterior and a minimum of two of attic, if accessible). Photographs will need to be provided to the Department through WINGS as .jpg or .tiff files limited to 2mb per photo and organized in the following sequence:
SRID# Front Elevation = MSFH12345 FE
SRID # Right Elevation = MSFH12345 RE
SRID # Back Elevation = MSFH12345 BE
SRID # Left Elevation = MSFH12345 LE
SRID # = Attic 1
SRID # = Attic 2
For photos taken of the exterior of the residence, the WCE shall at a minimum take photos of the front, right, back and left elevations of the house. If foliage or a screen covers an opening, the WCE shall make an effort to take a picture of the opening behind the foliage or screen. If the residence to be inspected is a complex structure, with multiple sides on each elevation, then photos must be taken of the various sides of an elevation to ensure proper count of window and door openings and to capture any other important construction features.
While in the attic, clear and illuminated photos must be taken of the roof structure materials, such as trusses and rafters; roof to wall connections, such as clips or toenails; and nail size in the roof deck attachment if the nail size can be seen, and braced and unbraced gables where visible and if applicable. In addition, the Inspector shall open a screen or porch door to take a clear photo of openings inside the screen enclosure or porch.
