                  Subpart B_Basic Program Requirements

 

Sec.  906.7  Physical requirements that a property offered for sale under 

this part must meet.



    (a) Property standards. A property offered for sale under a 

homeownership program must meet local code requirements (or, if no local 

code exists, the housing quality standards established by HUD for the 

Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program, 24 CFR part 982) and the 

relevant requirements of the Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act 

(42 U.S.C. 4821-4846), the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction 

Act of 1992 (42 U.S.C. 4851-4856), and the implementing regulations at 

24 CFR part 35, subparts A, B, L, and R of this title. When a 

prospective purchaser who has known disabilities, or who has a family 

member with known disabilities requires accessible features, the 

features must be added as a reasonable accommodation to the disability, 

in accordance with the requirements of Sec.  8.29 of this title. 

Further, the property must be in good repair, with the major components 

having a remaining useful life that is sufficient to justify a 

reasonable expectation that homeownership will be affordable by the 

purchasers. These standards must be met as a condition for conveyance of 

a dwelling to an individual purchaser.

    (b) A unit in this program for which the purchasing family is 

receiving assistance under Section 8(y) must be an eligible unit for 

purposes of the Homeownership Option under 24 CFR part 982, subpart M.
