Bill > H4913

This bill aims to regulate the inspection and certification of modular homes in Massachusetts. It defines a "modular home" as a single or multiple, single-family residential manufactured building, and a "modular homes dealer" as any individual, organization, or firm engaged in the retail selling, offering for sale, brokering, or distribution of such homes. The bill requires that any modular home or its components arriving for installation must have a pre-affixed label indicating it has been inspected and approved by a qualified building inspection professional licensed in the Commonwealth. The bill also mandates that photographs of the plumbing and electrical work during the manufacturing process be made available for inspection by the local building inspector before issuing a certificate of occupancy. If a certificate of occupancy is not granted within 30 days, the modular home is considered property of the modular homes dealer for tax assessment purposes.
