Recommendation Against Repair (RAR) is a type of report prepared by a professional engineer, architect or other qualified individual, evaluating a structure's condition and recommending against repair due to the cost and/or risk associated with doing so. The report is generally required when a structure is deemed unsafe or is otherwise in need of repair and cannot be economically or safely repaired. Cars are typically used by insurance companies, real estate investors, and other interested parties in order to evaluate the risk and cost associated with repairing a structure. There are two types of Recommendation Against Repair: Structural Recommendation Against Repair (STAR) and Non-Structural Recommendation Against Repair (NEAR). Stars are generally more detailed and comprehensive than Nears, as they typically include recommendations regarding the structure's design, construction, and safety. Nears are typically more limited in scope, focusing on the repair costs and risks associated with repairing a structure. In both cases, the professional engineer, architect, or other qualified individual will inspect the structure and document their findings. They will then provide a detailed report to the responsible party, outlining their reasons for recommending against repair and any potential solutions they may have.
