Do NSPIRE inspections require a sink in kitchen and bathroom?

• A. Sink required in bathroom only
• B. Sink required in kitchen and bathroom
• C. No sinks required
• D. Sink required in kitchen only

Answer: (B)

NSPIRE inspections require basic plumbing fixtures in the spaces where cooking and personal hygiene occur. A sink in the kitchen is essential for food preparation, dishwashing, and overall cleaning, while a sink in the bathroom is essential for handwashing after using the toilet and for personal hygiene. Therefore both locations must have a working sink. If a unit lacked a sink in either location, it would not meet the sanitation expectations inspectors are checking for. The other options don’t fit because they would leave either the kitchen or bathroom without a necessary fixture, or deny sinks altogether, which is not acceptable for proper hygiene and cleanliness.
