Nolan's Inspections, LLC

All FHA loans require property appraisals, but not all will require the submittal of an FHA Compliance Inspection Report (HUD-92051). 

The HUD-92051 (Compliance Inspection Report) is only needed in specific circumstances … for example:   

• New home under construction and not completed at the time the FHA Appraisal is done.
• Existing homes undergoing major remodeling or reconstruction.

Items typically requiring an FHA Compliance Inspection:

1. Repairs or upgrades to Manufactured Home Foundations specified by a Professional Engineer
2. Home repairs specified by an FHA Appraiser
3. Roof repairs specified by a Roof Inspector
4. Damage by WDO, wood destroying organisms
5. Grading or site issues on a new Manufactured Home or Site Built Home
6. Installation issues on a new Manufactured Home
7. Construction or completion issues on a new Site Built Home
8. Distance separation issues regarding septic tanks, wells and chemically treated soil.
9. Additions to Manufactured Homes
10. Verification of the proper completion of a new Manufactured Home or new Site Built Home

Compliance inspections are to be completed by an FHA Fee Inspector. 

Occasionally an Underwriter will misinterpret the FHA/HUD reporting requirements and request that a Compliance Report be signed and sealed by a Professional Engineer. 

The Compliance Report is to be signed by a Fee Inspector. There is no place on the form for an engineer's signature and seal.   

A Foundation Certification consists of either a signed and sealed report with no improvements or upgrades OR a signed and sealed Engineer's Certification specifying upgrades and/or repairs and a Compliance Report signed by a Fee Inspector stating that the repairs or upgrades have been satisfactorily completed.
