Consumer Alerts on Unregulated Buildings: How Desert Mobile Home Services Can Help

March 07, 20253 min read

In recent months, consumer alerts have been issued warning mobile homeowners about unregulated buildings and structures that fail to meet safety and compliance standards. The Arizona Department of Housing's Office of Manufactured Housing recently released a notice about the risks associated with unregulated mobile home additions, foundations, and repairs that do not comply with state building codes.

These alerts serve as an important reminder that mobile homeowners should only work with licensed and experienced professionals to ensure their homes remain safe, stable, and compliant. Desert Mobile Home Services is committed to helping homeowners navigate these challenges by offering expert foundation inspections, repairs, skirting services, and more.


What Are Unregulated Buildings?

Unregulated buildings refer to structures, additions, or repairs made without the proper permits, inspections, or adherence to state and federal safety codes. This can include:

  • DIY or unpermitted foundation work

  • Improperly installed mobile home additions

  • Non-compliant skirting, roofing, or anchoring systems

  • Uninspected electrical or plumbing modifications

These unregulated structures can pose serious safety risks, including:

  • Increased risk of structural collapse

  • Potential fire hazards from improper electrical work

  • Drainage and moisture problems that lead to mold or foundation damage

  • Legal and financial consequences, including fines or difficulty selling the home

Our experts conduct comprehensive foundation inspections to assess whether your home’s foundation is properly installed and meets safety requirements. If repairs or adjustments are needed, we provide compliant solutions to ensure long-term stability.

2. Safe & Code-Compliant Skirting Installation

Many mobile homes have skirting that does not meet state codes, leading to pest infestations, moisture buildup, and energy loss. Our professionally installed skirting enhances both the safety and insulation of your mobile home.
