B. The following requirements shall be met for a mobile home to be issued a certificate of compliance:

1. A smoke detector shall be installed in each sleeping room and outside each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the sleeping rooms. Each smoke detector shall be installed in accordance with its manufacturer's instructions;

2. The walls, ceilings, and doors of each gas-fired furnace and water-heater compartment shall be lined with gypsum board that is a minimum of 5/16 inches except a door to the compartment that opens to the exterior of the mobile home and is of all metal construction. All exterior compartments shall seal to the interior of the mobile home;

3. Each room designated expressly for sleeping purposes shall have at least one outside egress window or an approved exit device. The window or exit shall have a minimum clear width dimension of 22 inches, a minimum clear opening of five square feet, and the bottom of the exit is not more than 36 inches above the floor;

4. The electrical system is tested for continuity to ensure metallic parts are properly bonded, tested for operation to demonstrate all equipment is connected and in working order, and given a polarity check to determine connections are proper. The electrical system shall have proper overcurrent protection for the required amperage load. If aluminum conductors are used, all receptacles and switches rated 20 amperes or less and directly connected to the aluminum conductors shall be marked CO/ALR. Conductors of dissimilar metals (Copper/Aluminum/or Copper Clad Aluminum) shall be connected in accordance with the National Electrical Code referenced at R4-36-102. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter protection shall be provided in compliance with the National Electrical Code referenced in R4-36-102; and

5. Gas piping shall be tested with methods incorporated at R4-36-102. All gas furnaces and water heaters shall be installed in compliance with materials incorporated at R4-36-102. If a rehabilitated mobile home is to be relocated following rehabilitation, the gas tests required under this subsection may be performed and inspected at the time of installation at the new location.

C. The rehabilitated mobile home shall be inspected by the Department to ascertain compliance with subsection (B).

D. The Department shall issue a certification of compliance for each rehabilitated mobile home in compliance with subsection (B), and affix an insignia of approval to the exterior wall nearest the point of entrance of the electrical service.

E. If the Department determines a rehabilitated mobile home does not comply with subsection (B), the Department shall serve a correction notice and require the person served to make corrections within the time specified in the notice. The Department shall determine the time for correction based on the severity of the hazard or violation and the time reasonably needed to make the correction. The Department shall allow at least 30 days for correction unless an imminent safety hazard is found or the correction has been unreasonably delayed, in which case, the Department shall serve an Order to Vacate to the person occupying the rehabilitated mobile home.

F. The Department shall serve an Order to Vacate on a person occupying a non-rehabilitated mobile home within five days after an inspection of the non-rehabilitated mobile home finds an imminent safety hazard.
