ATTIC ACCESS TOO SMALL / COVER DAMAGED / MISSING / AMISS: 
Most building codes and standards require an attic access opening installed in the ceiling of the top floor of buildings with combustible ceiling or roof construction. The access opening should be installed in a corridor or hallway of buildings three or more stories in height. The opening should be 22 inches by 30 inches in dimension and clear headroom of at least 30 inches should be provided above the opening. An attic with less than 30 inches maximum vertical height need not have an access opening. In this particular case the inspector may not be able to fully view the attic area. Items not fully visible cannot be surveyed by the inspector. It may be possible to enlarge an attic access opening by simply cutting the existing hole larger. This remedy may be excessive if the inspector could see into the attic sufficiently to get a general idea of its condition. Should you decide to enlarge the access it is recommended that you contact a General Contractor to perform the work.
