If you select A or B (HVHZ) for question 1, and can definitively show this, RTW and RDA are already built into that credit. The form now becomes a partial for roof shape, SWR, and opening protection.
I am well aware of what the insurance companies do, but, that isn’t our job.
How can you select a or b “built in compliance with”…without “verifying” anything? :shock:
Here is an example:
I inspected a home built in 2003 in Broward. For some unknown reason, several of the hurricane straps were never bent over or nailed.
With that knowledge, how can I mark A or B on question 1 as well as the rtw connection?
Obviously, someone went out and corrected it and I got new pictures, but assuming that something was done correctly, without even looking, in my opinion, is a disservice to all.
The form is called a Wind Mitigation Verification form. So how are you doing that when you can’t see them. You assuming that they are there but cant verify. Fraud to me. I been in brand new homes that had a c.o. issued and not one strap was connected to a single truss over the garage area. Maybe a drive by inspector sign off but we are better then that.
