Occupied units hide outlets behind sofas, beds, and bookcases — and an outlet nobody tested is exactly where the reversed-polarity or dead GFCI surprise lives. Inspectors work around furniture as far as it is readily accessible, and your pre-walk should hold the same line: test what you can reach without moving a resident's belongings, note the ones genuinely blocked, and never mark a room done when half its outlets went unchecked. A cheap plug tester and a per-room count on the checklist turn a vague walk into a verifiable one. How do you log blocked outlets so they get a second look instead of being forgotten? — Admin
