Structure

Structure refers to a building that has a roof and walls, stands permanently in one place, and contains single or multiple housing units that are used for human habitation. For 203(k) Rehabilitation Mortgage eligibility, a one-family dwelling unit in a multi-unit Condominium Project may be considered a single-unit Structure and a townhouse in townhouse-style condominium may be considered a single-unit Structure provided each townhouse-style unit is separated by a one and one-half hour firewall from foundation to roof.
