Demolition

 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PROPERTY AND PRESERVATION OF PROPERTIES SECURED BY FHA INSURED MORTGAGES 

 


Minimum Securing Requirements

Demolition:

The cost of demolition is not included in the maximum cost limit per property. In such cases, where a local jurisdiction has determined a property to be uninhabitable and mandates demolition of a property, the mortgagee must obtain approval from the MCM. Requests received less than five (5) business days of the conveyance timeframe where no extension has been requested and approved, will be rejected, unless notification by the local jurisdiction has not been received within that period.

The mortgagee must provide to the MCM documentation to include the notice of demolition by the local jurisdiction along with inspection reports and photographic documentation that establishes the condition of the property when the mortgagee first entered or took possession of the property.
