DEBRIS REMOVAL
Mortgagees are to remove
exterior debris. Mortgagees
will continue to be responsible for removing interior debris, which is
considered to be a health and/or safety hazard.
Also, if local government cites a code violation, assesses fines
or places liens for interior debris, the mortgagee shall be responsible
for debris removal.

WINTERIZATION
Winterize
year round regardless of the month the property is secured, except for
attached condominiums (e.g. townhouse, garden style, high-rise).
Attached condominiums
must be kept heated, thermostat at 55 degrees Fahrenheit.
Utility accounts
must be transferred to the mortgagee, and upon conveyance transferred
to the M&M contractor.
Do not turn
off or remove sump pump.
Two important
points: (1) turn water off at the curb, and (2) the mortgagee will be
held responsible for damages to plumbing and heating systems caused by
untimely and/or improper maintenance.
Type
of Service |
Allowable
Cost |
|
Sump Pump Installation |
$135 |
(if one had existed) |
Pumping Water from basement |
$110 |
(only with prior approval) |
Properties must be winterized
on a year
round basis.
Properties
should be winterized only once.
The property
may be re-winterized only if the initial winterization is deemed to be
no longer effective and the mortgagee obtains prior approval from the
M&M contractor.
Domestic
Water
On all properties test
for system integrity.
Turn the water
on, inspect for leakage, and shut down. If problems are noted, inform
the M&M contractor at time of conveyance.
If the water supply source
is a public system, have the utility turn off the supply at the street.
Turn off the water inside the house.
Do not cut
any water lines or remove water meters.
(A non-reimbursable
charge may be made by the water utility for unauthorized water meter removal).
Most water
departments must be notified when water is turned off so that a final
meter reading can be done.
Be sure to
do this.
If the water supply is
a private well, turn off the well at the breaker panel and tape off the
breaker.
Disconnect
the water supply line between the house and pressure tank and install
a hose bib on the pressure tank side of the break.
Tag the hose
bib "For Water Testing."
Drain and blow air through
all domestic hot and cold water lines, the hot water heater, water softener
tank, brine tank, well water storage tank and/or
the well water captive air bank, and dishwasher, if any.
Pour one-quart
maximum of non-toxic antifreeze (propylene-glycol) into each drain: tubs,
shower, laundry, floor, sinks, etc.
Remove water from toilet
tank and bowl.
Pour a minimum
of one gallon of non-toxic antifreeze (propylene-glycol) into each toilet
bowl and a small amount of antifreeze in tanks if the water was not completely
removed.
Tape all faucets to the
open position.
Mark all drains,
fixtures, appliances, devices in the system with the statement "Winterized
**** Do Not Use", and date.
Dry
Heat System
The heating system should
be operational.
In the event
major repair or replacement would be necessary in order to make the heating
system operational, contact the M&M contractor for instructions.
Wet
Heat (Hydronic or Hot Water Baseboard) Systems
The winterization requirements
outlined above for domestic water apply.
Test for system
security.
Pressurize
the system with an air compressor to 35 pounds and inspect for leakage.
System must
hold air pressure with no leakage for a minimum of one-half hour.
Drain the boiler and all
heating loops.
Fill the boiler and all
heating loops with a non-toxic antifreeze (propylene-glycol) solution
tested to a freeze point of -40 degrees Fahrenheit, or lower.
Isolate loops
or bleed in sequence to ensure proper flushing through the lines.
Bleed all
vents in the system to ensure that all air has been voided from the system.
Steam
Heat Systems
Determine if the system
is operable and if there are any leaks.
Report this
information to the M&M contractor at the time of conveyance.
Then shut
down the heating system. Pressurize the system with an air compressor
to 35 pounds and inspect for leakage.
System must
hold air pressure with no leakage for a minimum of one-half hour.
Note:
A steam heat system will have radiators with valves at the bottom
of the radiator; a careful determination as to whether the system
is hot water or steam must be made.
Sump
Pumps
Where a sump pump is used
to keep basements or crawl space dry, check to make sure the sump pump
is operable and operating to assure that the property is not damaged by
flooding.
If sump pump
is missing from its original placement or is non-operational, install
new sump pump and verify operation to assure that the property is not
damaged by flooding.
Utilities
Utility
accounts must be in the mortgagee's name until conveyance of the property
to HUD. It is the mortgagee's responsibility to transfer the account
to the M&M contractor. In all cases, the mortgagee should pay
the bills and obtain reimbursement for utility costs that cover the period
from the start date to the conveyance date.
