The division may cause to be investigated any complaint concerning the installation of a manufactured home filed in writing by an owner, dealer, manufacturer, installer, or certified inspector. The division may designate a certified inspector or other qualified entity to make complaint inspections on behalf of the division. The initial costs of processing complaints will be paid through a fund established from a portion of the registration, certification, and insignia fees. If a complaint is determined to be valid, the installer and inspector must reimburse the division for the costs incurred investigating the complaint and any reinspections.
If a participating jurisdiction or a certified inspector finds an installation of a manufactured home to be in default, the jurisdiction or inspector shall file a written complaint with the division against the installer. Complaints received by telephone shall be confirmed in writing.
If the installation of a manufactured home fails the complaint inspection, the registered installer must make and pay for the repairs to bring the installation into compliance and the installer and inspector shall pay the costs associated with the complaint inspection and with any subsequent inspections. Failure of the installer to pay for repairs and failure of the installer and inspector subsequent inspections shall result in the revocation of registration and certification.
