, <br /> 14 <br /> tentatively schedule a final inspection based on the estimated comple- <br /> : tion date and will remind the owner of the documents which he/she will <br /> need to submit before the unit can be accepted. <br /> The Authority will provide owners with a form containing all owne <br /> certifications required by 24 CFR 882.510. The Certificate of Occupan <br /> and other local approvals must be obtained by the owner from the appro <br /> priate City Official (s) . <br /> 2. Completing the Final Inspection <br /> The final inspection will be completed by the City Code Inspector <br /> where applicable, and the Rehabilitation Advisor. Owners will be re- <br /> sponsible for obtaining building and electrical code inspections if <br /> the nature of the rehabilitation work requires them. At the final <br /> inspection, all work items required by the Agreement will be inspected <br /> and a determination regarding compliance with Housing Code and with <br /> program rehabilitation standards will be made. The owner and the con- <br /> tractor will be requested to participate in the final inspection so <br /> that deficiencies can be discussed and agreed upon immediately after <br /> the inspection. <br /> A written copy of a punch list, detailing deficient work items , <br /> a schedule for their completion, and the amount which must be with- <br /> held pending completion of the work items will be provided to the <br /> owner and the contractor. For minor deficiencies or items which are <br /> incomplete because of weather conditions, the Rehabilitation Advisor <br /> will determine the amount which must be withheld from the contractor's <br /> final payments. For other than minor deficiencies, he/she will deter- <br /> mine whether the work can be corrected and whether proposed contract <br /> rents should be reduced. <br /> Because payment of contractor draws will be based on acceptable <br /> completion of rehabilitation work, it is anticipated that owner- <br /> contractor disagreements will be resolved while the work is being <br /> completed. Therefore, few major disputes between the owner and <br /> contractor should exist at the time of final inspection. In any <br /> case, the Code Inspector and the Rehabilitation Advisor will review <br /> the unit for code compliance only and will not get involved in <br /> owner-contractor disagreements regarding the quality of the work. <br /> 3. Acceptance of the Unit <br /> If there are any items of delayed completion which are minor <br /> items or which are incomplete because of weather conditions, and <br />
