Memo 1101 FHA Boarding Requirements - Denver HOC
We have received a number of disputed invoices from our clients, indicating that boarding--specifically boarding of windows--is not being completed per the HUD guidelines for the Denver HOC area.
The window-boarding diagram in the regional variations (see Attachment 4, Page 22 ) indicates that the exterior side of the plywood used to board must be painted with one coat of primer. It seems that this particular variation is not consistently complied with.
When ever windows are boarded, the work must be completed per the regional variations. Effective immediately, if completed boarding is found outside of compliance with this regulation, you will be required to return to the property to correct the boarding at no additional charge.
If you have any questions, please contact your regional coordinator.
