writing that the Loan was approved. If a dwelling or the requested repairs are determined to be ineligible by the program rules, the applicant shall be notified in writing by the OHCD with reference to the general areas of failure. When a dwelling is determined eligible, the applicant shall be informed in writing that he/she is eligible for a rehabilitation Loan, and that the items eligible for repair are specified on the accompanying "Priority List of Repairs". This Loan approval notice is a Loan commitment, since the amount of the rehabilitation contract, the contractor eligibility and the reasonable cost certification are all future elements that must conform to the program rules. 5.7 ELIGIBLE REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS LIST a. The OHCD will prepare the written document known as the "Priority List of Repairs" from the results of the inspection. The document will be approved by the OHCD and submitted to the applicant. The applicant is required to approve and sign the “Priority List of Repairs” before the Loan may proceed. b. The applicant may appeal for a reconsideration of the eligibility of repair items dropped from its request and/or for reconsideration of the priority sequence of the approved items and/or addition of new repair or improvement items not included in its original request. Appeals from the applicant should be justified prior to reconsideration by the OHCD staff. The final decision shall be rendered by the Housing Administrator. 6.0 CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS 6.1 SPECIFICATIONS a. After the applicant has approved the “Priority List of Repairs,” the applicant will contact a licensed contractor and, if needed, have the licensed contractor prepare detailed specifications for the work to be contracted out.
