History

Founded in 1961 by Alvin & Estelle Ubell, Accurate Building Inspectors is an independent family owned business, not affiliated with any real estate organization, vendor, contractor or allied corporation. Accurate Building Inspectors has built it's reputation by serving the needs of the client and adhering to stringent ethical practices. Our commitment to continued education ensures that ABI inspectors are properly trained and licensed to identify, “quality and safety in housing and construction”. By this credo, ABI has earned the reputation as one of the most prestigious building and home inspection organizations in the State of New York.

As a public service, ABI home inspectors Alvin Ubell and Larry Ubell provide free advice on home repair during Leonard Lopate's monthly WNYC radio broadcast of the “Guru's of How-To”. Listeners can also download free publications on home repair from the Accurate Building Inspectors' website.

Lawrence Ubell, Pres. & Chief Inspector, working side by side with Matthew Barnett, Vice Pres. & Senior Inspector, will continue ABI's long standing tradition of service. Alvin Ubell, semi retired, will remain on the board of directors as Vice President.
