-2: Procedures for Failures to Comply With Installation Standards A. If the proper installation of the new or used Factory-Built home cannot be confirmed at the time of the inspection, the inspector must notify the company performing the installation of any non-compliance issues with the installation standards. A written explanation (Affidavit of Correction Statement) will be sent to the installer, retailer and homeowner with the reasons why the inspector cannot approve the installation. If the installation is a secondary move the installer/transporter, and the homeowner will receive the Affidavit of Correction Statement. The person responsible shall have twenty (20) calendar days, from the date of the Affidavit of Correction Statement, to correct the defects found during the inspection and return the signed and notarized affidavit to the State Fire Marshal’s Office indicating that all the listed defects have been corrected. Failure to comply with the return of the Affidavit of Correction Statement, set forth in this document, will be considered a violation of said regulations and shall be assessed administrative fines and penalties where applicable. After the installation is corrected and the notarized affidavit has been returned, the installation may be re-inspected by an inspector before the Certificate of the inspection can be issued. Submission of a signed and notarized affidavit by a manufacturer, developer, retailer or installer/transporter that is not factually correct will be considered as a violation of Miss. Code Ann. § 97-7-10. B. If the manufacturer, developer or retailer retains the installer/transporter, all are jointly and severally responsible with the installer/transporter for correcting installation defects. Upon failure to pass the re-inspection of the installation, the manufacturer, developer, and/or retailer will be notified that the installer/transporter has failed to correct the defects. C. Any person, company or entity not in compliance with this Rule and having numerous un- returned Affidavit of Correction Statements at the time of their license renewal (Rule 5.02.1-11) will have the issuance of their license delayed until all installation corrections have been made and the signed and notarized Affidavit of Correction Statements have been returned.
