For what purpose does the Georgia DCA conduct inspections of manufactured homes?

The Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) conducts inspections of manufactured homes primarily to ensure compliance with installation and safety standards. This is essential to protect residents by making sure that manufactured homes meet the established regulations that govern their construction and installation. Inspections help identify potential safety hazards and ensure that homes are installed correctly according to state codes, which include various factors such as structural integrity, safety features, and compliance with zoning requirements.

By enforcing these standards, the DCA enhances overall public safety and ensures that manufactured homes are both livable and secure. The focus is on maintaining high safety standards to prevent issues that could arise from improperly installed homes or defective manufacturing practices, ultimately safeguarding the wellbeing of the occupants. Other options may involve financial or market considerations but do not directly correlate to the primary purpose of the DCA’s inspections.
