Roof Covering

The roof covering must

·   prevent entrance of moisture, and

·   provide reasonable future utility, durability, and economy of maintenance.

When a defective roof with three or more layers of shingles must be replaced, all old shingles must first be removed.

Crawl Space

The crawl space must

·   have adequate access

·   be clear of all debris, and

·   be properly vented.

The floor joists must be sufficiently above the highest level of the ground to provide access for maintenance and repair of ductwork and plumbing.

Any excessive dampness or ponding of water in the crawl space must be corrected.

Ventilation

Natural ventilation of structural spaces such as attics and crawl spaces must be provided to reduce the effect of excess heat and moisture which could cause decay and deterioration of the structure.

Electricity

Each unit must have electricity for lighting and for necessary equipment.
