Sounds good. I agree that a new submittal through HCD will be the best and hope to take care of this tomorrow.

Hi Scott,
These tags are from TR Arnold, an in-plant inspection firm based in Indiana,
probably engaged by the manufacturer to certify compliance when the trailers were
first constructed.
There are two questions: First, are these tags indicating compliance for
COMPONENTS of the trailer or indicating compliance of the entire trailer. Second,
are these tags recognized by CA HCD as validation of the compliance requirements
for installation in California. Remember, this is a new approval so you will have to
show compliance to the latest requirements even though these trailers may be
several years old.
I suggest going the route of submittal to HCD to see what they say about these
tags and go from there.

I asked a worker of ours to try and find serial numbers on our trailers so we could fill out the required
paperwork for the CA Department of Housing and Community development and when on the trailers
they came across the photos below of insignia serials. Is this what you needed to validate they are HUD
compliant? If not I plan to submit the paperwork to the HUD office in Riverside next Tuesday.

Good morning Scott,
Sorry I haven’t responded sooner but I have been off since last Friday.
As I understand it, the jobsite trailers were built on site, or nearby, and placed at
their current location. In California, commercial modular structures like those you
have there are typically factory built and bear the insignia of the CA Department of
Housing and Community Development (HCD), the state agency that regulates the
construction and certification of factory built housing and commercial structures.
Your modular structures, have no such HCD insignia nor were they built with a City
of La Quinta building permit to Title 24 standards.
Before we consider moving forward with any electric service, you must first provide
the proper, recognized HCD compliant modular buildings or submit plans and obtain
permits, inspections and approvals for the structures that are currently constructed.
As it stands now, you have unpermitted structures and no use or occupancy will be
allowed. This information should have been posted on the trailers in the last week
by our Code Enforcement team.
Regards,
PLEASE NOTE: City Hall
will be closed from
December 24,
2018 through January
1, 2019 in observance
of the holidays. Please
plan accordingly for any business needs that might need to be addressed during this time
frame. We thank you for your understanding and look forward to seeing you after the New
Year!

Hi JW,
I met with Steve yesterday and we were discussing the challenges we’re having to get our relocated
meter pedestal energized. He mentioned the City is requesting a “state certification” on the
trailers. We do not know what that is and hoping you could help provide some direction. A quick
internet search makes it think it’s a DMV issued Permanent Trailer Identification certification
(https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/?1dmy&urile=wcm:path:/dmv_content_en/dmv/forms/reg/reg4
017) but I’m not sure if this is correct or if there is more to it. We’ve also reached out to Paula and Roy
Ziegler who we purchased the trailers from to see if they have this information. If we have to apply
through the DMV I’m not sure how long this could take.
Is there a possibility that we could energize the relocated meter pedestal and not connect/energize the
trailers until the City receives the requested paperwork? We’re just in a time crunch to get the new
pedestal energized so we can remove the old pedestal, complete the block wall and receive the pool
final inspection.
I also want to note that the architect is nearly finished with the plans for the home and intends to
submit both the home and barn to the City early next week. I’m looking forward to checking that one
off our list.
I look forward to talking with you soon.
Scott
