§ 145.64. Modification after certification.
(a) Certified industrialized housing, buildings, and certified housing or building components bearing the insignia of certification may not be modified after the insignia of certification has been attached, unless the modification is approved in advance by the evaluation agency on the basis that the industrialized housing, building, or housing or building component, as so modified, will still conform to the approved building system documentation. Approvals of modifications which are consistent with the approved building system documentation may be by oral authorization by an officer or employee of the evaluation agency, but in this event each approval shall be subsequently evidenced by a letter from the evaluation agency to the manufacturer within 10 days after the oral authorization. Proposed modifications which are inconsistent with the approved building system documentation shall be treated as proposed amendments to the building system documentation subject to the approval of the evaluation agency under § 145.55 (relating to general requirements for approval of amendments to building system documentation).
(b) Modifications of certified industrialized housing, buildings, or certified housing or building components are not prohibited under the act or this chapter if the modifications are made after the issuance of a certificate of occupancy by the local enforcement agency. The modifications referred to in this subsection are subject to other applicable laws, codes and ordinances of the Commonwealth and of the local government of the jurisdiction in which the industrialized housing or building structure is located.
(c) Nothing in this section shall prevent a manufacturer, on its own motion or at the order of the inspection agency or of the Department, from repairing damage to or remedying a defect found in an industrialized housing component.
