Subd. 2.Inspections.

The manner and scope of the inspections of Minnesota FAIR plan business must be prescribed by the plan with the approval of the commissioner.

Subd. 3.Initial inspection report.

An inspection report must be made for each property inspected. The report must cover pertinent structural and occupancy features as well as the general condition of the building and surrounding structures. A representative photograph of the property may be taken during the inspection.

Subd. 4.Condition charges.

Either during the inspection or immediately after the inspection, an employee of the FAIR plan shall inform the applicant as to the features that result in a condition charge if the risk is accepted. No inspector has the authority to advise whether the plan will provide the coverage.

Subd. 5.Completed inspection report.

Within ten business days after the inspection, the FAIR plan shall prepare or have prepared a completed inspection report that includes conditions that are subject to a condition charge under the rating plan approved by the commissioner.
