| REAC Tip of the Week |
|
Did you know?
During your REAC Inspection, items must operate "as the manufacturer intended" otherwise HUD protocol requires inspectors to mark the item as deficient.
This sounds so simple, but many folks loose points here. They believe as long as the item operates and does not violate code, they can get around this requirement. Not so. "As the manufacturer intended" is the minimum standard.
