Certified STR Safety Inspections for Big Bear & Joshua Tree — Fast, Compliant, City-Approved.
Annual and pre-permit safety inspections for vacation rental owners. Guaranteed same-week scheduling.
INTRODUCTION
Operating a vacation rental in California’s mountain and desert communities? You already know the requirements are strict — and getting stricter. Cities like Big Bear Lake and San Bernardino County require annual safety inspections before you can obtain or renew your STR permit. Fail the inspection, and your permit is suspended until issues are resolved.
We specialize in fast, thorough STR compliance inspections that help you pass the first time. Our inspector has an architecture background and understands both what inspectors look for and what actually keeps your guests safe. Get your inspection scheduled within the same week — and your report delivered within 24 hours.
