Inspections
Inspections are always conducted in the field. They benefit the consumer by ensuring that the home is safe to live in and meets HUD codes and MHD rules and regulations. The most common inspections are listed below. For more specific inspections, see the Administrative Code for Manufactured Housing.
Types of Inspections and Purpose of Each
Set-up and Block
Ensures that the installer has properly blocked the home so that it will not be unleveled or tip over due to high winds.
Utility Hook-ups
Ensures all proper procedures are used to hook-up the utilities to make them safe and non-threatening to the consumer and their home.
Permanent Foundations
If the consumer chooses to place their home on a cement slab instead of blocks, a permit must be issued and an inspection done to verify the footings are up to code. This inspection is usually done before the cement is poured.
