Sort turnover observations by function and appearance
Gresham’s rental-housing resource describes an inspection focus on fire, health and life safety rather than cosmetic concerns. Use that distinction to organize questions; it does not allow a reader to decide whether a particular condition passes inspection or constitutes a violation.
List what fails to function separately from appearance-only changes. Identify the room, item and observed behavior, then give paint marks, decoration and other elective finishes their own entries. Avoid treating a long list of attractive improvements as an answer to a specific nonworking component.
Keep the owner inspection enquiry with the move-in record
The City says an owner can request a rental inspection before a tenant moves in. Ask about the arrangements for the actual property, with an identifiable condition record. This published route does not promise an available slot or a particular inspection outcome.
Keep the City enquiry and private work approval together without confusing their purposes. Identify who authorizes each repair, who provides access and the finish expected when it ends. If a concern still needs assessment, label it as a question rather than an instruction to replace a part.
Does Gresham describe a rental inspection request before a tenant moves in?
Yes. The City’s rental-housing page describes an owner-requested inspection before a tenant moves in. Confirm the actual arrangements and inspection scope with the City.
How should a turnover list separate cosmetic marks from functional concerns?
Give cosmetic marks their own entries, then describe what does not function and when the problem occurs. Ask the appropriate City or authorized repair contact about the concern without deciding its legal status.

For a rented home, confirm who can authorize alterations. In a shared building, ask about access and work rules. A citywide construction period does not establish the age, condition or safety requirements of an individual home; check the property records and the specific project.
