Yeah, I figured that the argument could be made for the same standard to apply, but, worst case, if the argument I gave held up for urban being better than rural, then the rural is a pretty tough standard to beat:
(underlining is mine)
DEFICIENCY: Out of plumb walls.
CONSTRUCTION STANDARD: Walls should not be more than
1/2 inch out of plumb for any 8 foot vertical measurement.
BUILDER CORRECTION:
Builder to repair to meet the above standard.
Any idea if HUD has something similar tucked away in their Everest of publications?
Did not find one for urban, but that does not mean some more thorough searching might not be able to find one.
