Representative Tyler and Kraft-Tharp, co-prime sponsors, introduced House Bill 15-1385. The bill creates a voluntary process for an external review and validation of new multi-family housing construction, paid for by the builder, conducted by a trained independent contractor, and audited by the Division of Housing in the Department of Local Affairs. Under the bill, multi-family housing is defined as any residential property that contains more than one attached dwelling unit, including condominiums or cooperatives. Representative Tyler noted the complex problem facing the state concerning affordable housing. Representative Kraft-Tharp noted that this bill sets up a framework for voluntary inspection for builders to receive third party validation regarding the quality of a building's construction.
