(a) Installation inspections. When the installation
site is within a municipality that has a building inspection agency
or department, the local building official will inspect all on-site
construction and the attachment of the structure to the foundation

details, and the mandatory building codes. As a minimum the local
building official shall:
(1) perform an overall visual inspection for obvious
nonconformity to the approved design manual, the engineered foundation
system, any unique on-site details, and the mandatory building code;
(2) require final inspections along with any tests
that are required by the approved installation instructions, on-site
construction documentation, and/or the mandatory building code;
(3) require the correction of deficiencies identified
by the tests or discovered in inspections;
(4) issue a certificate of occupancy in accordance
with locally adopted rules and regulations;
(5) provide the industrialized builder with a record
of a successful final inspection of on-site construction as defined
in §70.73(d); and
(6) provide the date of the final inspection.
(b) Site-built REFs. When an REF is constructed within
a municipality that has a building inspection agency or department,
the local building official will inspect all construction to assure
completion in accordance with the approved construction documents
in accordance with §70.70(b) and other construction documentation
in accordance with §70.70(e).
