| | 1. FBC A FAIR HOUSING, COMPLIANCE AND REQUIREMENTS ARE |
| | NOT CLEAR. |
| | |
| | THE PLAN SHOWS A 1ST FLOOR AND 2ND FLOOR. THE 2ND FLOOR |
| | APPEAR TO BE A PARTIAL FLOOR, OPEN TO THE FLOOR BELOW. |
| | IF THIS A MEZZANINE OR LOFT, IT APPEARS THAT FAIR |
| | HOUSING WOULD CONSIDER THIS A SINGLE STORY UNIT. IF |
| | THIS IS A MULTI STORY UNIT (1ST FLOOR AND 2ND FLOOR), |
| | PROVIDE INFORMATION AS TO HOW THIS HAS BEEN DETERMINED |
| | THAT THIS WAS PERMITTED AS TWO SEPARATE FLOORS (PERHAPS |
| | ORIGINAL BUILDING PERMIT PLANS?). SEE FBC 505. |
| | |
| | IF FAIR HOUSING COMPLIANCE IS REQUIRED, REVISE PLAN AS |
| | FOLLOWS: |
| | |
| | REVISE PLAN TO REMOVE REFERENCES TO 1ST FLOOR AND 2ND |
| | FLOOR, SHOULD BE 1ST FLOOR AND LOFT OR MEZZANINE. |

| | INCLUDE DETAILS AND DIMENSION WHICH SHOW COMPLIANCE |
| | WITH FAIR HOUSING. PAPA SHOWS THIS BUILDING AS |
| | CONSTRUCTED IN 2001, SO FIRST OCCUPANCY WAS AFTER MARCH |
| | 13, 1991 (FHA EFFECTIVE DATE). REVISE PLAN TO INCLUDE |
| | THE SAFE HARBOR DESIGN METHOD (OR OTHER METHOD). SEE |
| | ALSO HUD'S FAQ, QUESTION #8: |

| | "8. DO THE FAIR HOUSING ACT'S DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION |
| | REQUIREMENTS APPLY TO ALTERATION OR RENOVATION OF |
| | PROPERTIES? |
| | |
| | "ALTERATIONS, REHABILITATION OR REPAIR OF COVERED |
| | MULTIFAMILY DWELLINGS ARE NOT COVERED BECAUSE THE ACT'S |
| | DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS ONLY APPLY TO NEW |
| | CONSTRUCTION OF BUILDINGS BUILT FOR FIRST OCCUPANCY |
| | AFTER MARCH 13, 1991. HOWEVER, A COVERED MULTIFAMILY |
| | DWELLING THAT HAS BEEN CONSTRUCTED TO COMPLY WITH THE |
| | LAW CANNOT LATER BE ALTERED TO MAKE IT NON-COMPLIANT |
| | WITH THE LAW. ADDITIONS OF FOUR OR MORE UNITS ARE |
| | COVERED BY THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS. |

| | |
| | 4. SCOPE NOT CLEAR. A1 ITEMS 1ST FL #5, 2ND FL #1, |
