What is the standard practice about having a structural check on the building (I am interested in a brownstone apartment?) There are no representations made in the financials about future works/repairs and the selling broker has sent me some summary info she gathered on the building -- e.g. boiler: routine yearly maintenance; roof work recently done; selected windows replaced in the last 2-3 years.

Should I pay for someone to do the structural check? and if yes what are average fees? Thanks
