# §906.7. Physical requirements that a property offered for sale under this part must meet.

- (a) **Property standards.** A property offered for sale under a homeownership program must meet local code requirements (or, if no local code exists, the housing quality standards established by HUD for the [Section 8](/cfr/24/8.md) Housing Choice Voucher Program, [24 CFR part 982](/cfr/24/part982.md)) and the relevant requirements of the Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act ([42 U.S.C. 4821-4846](/usc/42/4821-4846.md)), the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 ([42 U.S.C. 4851-4856](/usc/42/4851-4856.md)), and the implementing regulations at [24 CFR part 35](/cfr/24/part35.md), subparts [A](/cfr/24/subpartA.md), [B](/cfr/24/subpartB.md), L, and R of this title. When a prospective purchaser who has known disabilities, or who has a family member with known disabilities requires accessible features, the features must be added as a reasonable accommodation to the disability, in accordance with the requirements of [§ 8.29](/cfr/24/8.29.md) of this title. Further, the property must be in good repair, with the major components having a remaining useful life that is sufficient to justify a reasonable expectation that homeownership will be affordable by the purchasers. These standards must be met as a condition for conveyance of a dwelling to an individual purchaser.
- (b) A unit in this program for which the purchasing family is receiving assistance under [Section 8(y)](/cfr/24/8.md?p=y) must be an eligible unit for purposes of the Homeownership Option under [24 CFR part 982](/cfr/24/part982.md), subpart M.
