Information collected ensures newly build homes financed with FHA mortgage insurance are constructed in accordance with acceptable building standards and that deficiencies found in newly constructed and existing dwellings are corrected.
The adjustment is because of a correction in the number of the respondents. HUD now accepts local government inspections in jurisdictions that issue building permits prior to inspections and Certificates of Occupancy (or equivalents) in lieu of the three inspections performed by fee inspectors. A clear final inspection must be obtained on all proposed construction cases in jurisdictions where the local building authority issues final inspections. It is estimated that approximately 80 percent of the proposed cases are now insured under the local government provision.
