-1- Inspection Results and Non-Compliance Tag Attachment A. Results of the Division’s inspection may be made available to the modular home manufacturers, modular home contractors, retailers or developers upon written request. When serious violations are found, the Factory-Built Home Division of the State Fire Marshal's Office shall immediately attach a non-compliance identification tag to the unit in question. B. It shall be a violation of this Regulation for any factory built modular home to be sold or offered for sale which has a non-compliance identification tag attached. The wording on such tag shall be as follows: "This unit, having been found to be in NON-COMPLIANCE with the Uniform Standards Code for Factory-Built Homes Law as Related to Modular Homes and its implementing Regulation, shall not be sold or offered for sale in the State of Mississippi. Anyone tampering with or removing this Non-Compliance Identification Tag from this unit will be prosecuted as set forth in the Regulation and shall be subject to revocation of his license." C. A non-compliance identification tag attached to a unit may be removed only by the Factory-Built Home Division of the State Fire Marshal's Office. Such tag shall be completed as required by the non-compliance identification tag. D. When the State Fire Marshal has reasonable ground to believe that a unit has been constructed in non-compliance with the Standards as defined herein, he may require, at the manufacturer’s expense, that the walls, floors, decking, or other panels be removed for the purpose of inspection. E. Units having been identified as being in non-compliance with this Regulation and having a non-compliance tag attached may only be transported and relocated after written notice has been received in the Factory-Built Home Division of the State Fire Marshal's Office from the manufacturer indicating that an inspection of the home for damages has been completed and the home warranty remains valid . Such written notice will set forth the purpose for moving such unit, to whom the unit is to be delivered, along with the complete mailing address and telephone number of the person to whom the unit is to be delivered, the serial number of the unit, and any other information as may be requested by the State Fire Marshal’s Office. F. When these violation(s) have been corrected, the unit in question shall be re-inspected by the Factory-Built Home Division of the State Fire Marshal's Office. If the unit is then found to be in compliance with the International Residential Code, the inspector shall remove the non-compliance identification tag. The unit can then be sold or offered for sale. G. All Factory-Built modular homes, delivered by retailers, modular home contractors, developers or installers/transporters to any site where such home is to be used for human habitation shall be in accordance with all rules, regulations and procedures required by the Factory-Built Home Division of the State Fire Marshal's Office, pursuant to Mississippi Code Ann., Section 75-49-7. H. In the interest of public safety, deputy state fire marshals, who are certified law enforcement officers, are duly authorized to stop and conduct inspections of installers/transporters that are transporting modular homes to verify compliance with The Mississippi Uniform Standards Code for Factory-Built Homes Law, Mississippi Code Ann., Section 75-49-1, et seq.,and this Regulation.
