Residential Rehabilitation Inspection Guide (February 2000, 162 p.)
An important factor in making the best use of our nation’s housing
stock is accurately assessing the condition, safety, usefulness, and
rehabilitation potential of older residential buildings. The
Residential Rehabilitation Inspection Guide provides step-by-step
technical information for evaluating a residential building’s site,
exterior, interior, and structural, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC
systems.
First published by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development in 1984 as the Guideline on Residential Building
Systems Inspection, the guideline has found widespread use and
acceptance among architects, engineers, builders, realtors, and
preservationists.
Now, for the Partnership for Advancing Technology in Housing
(PATH) program, the guideline has been updated and expanded to
include current assessment techniques and standards, information
about additional building materials, and a broader coverage of haz-ardous
substances and the effects of earthquakes, wind, and floods.
HUD is pleased to reissue this important and time-tested publication,
knowing that it will prove a valuable resource for preserving
and reusing our nation’s building stock.
