(A) The installer shall request an inspection after all aspects of the installation have been completed. The Building Inspector, as defined in § 11.01.010.040, will inspect the installation within five business days after receiving the request. If the inspection is not completed within five business days, the tenant or owner may occupy the manufactured home at their own risk. Occupancy before inspection does not imply approval of the installation.

(C) If the installation does not comply with the installation requirements listed in § 11.01.060.070 and the conditions of the building permit, the Building Inspector shall provide the installer with a list of corrections that the installer must make. The list of corrections shall state a date by which the corrections must be completed. The Building Inspector shall reinspect the installation after the corrections are completed. If the items that require correction do not endanger the health or safety of the occupants, or substantially affect the habitability of the manufactured home, the Building Inspector may permit the owner of the manufactured home to occupy the manufactured home.
