If a manufactured home is not compliant with local codes, what is the first step?

The first step when a manufactured home is found not to be compliant with local codes is to bring the home into compliance. Addressing compliance issues promptly is crucial to ensure the safety of the occupants and to adhere to local regulations. This action demonstrates responsibility and commitment to following legal standards. Taking steps to make the home compliant not only mitigates potential risks but also helps to uphold the integrity of the manufactured home industry.

Ceasing operations immediately may not be necessary if there are measures that can be implemented to rectify the situation. Notifying the owner of the code breach, while important at some point, comes after assessing and understanding what specific compliance issues need to be addressed. Seeking legal advice can be appropriate in complex situations, but the priority should be to address the compliance issues directly and efficiently first. Ensuring compliance is essential for maintaining safety, legal standing, and trust with all stakeholders involved.
