Parking Lots/Driveways/Roads (Site) |
An area for parking motorized vehicles begins at the curbside
and includes all parking lots, driveways or roads within the
property lines that are under the control of the housing
provider. |
This inspectable item can have the following deficiencies: |
Cracks/Settlement/Heaving/Loose Materials/Potholes |
Ponding |
Cracks/Settlement/Heaving/Loose Materials/Potholes (Parking
Lots/Driveways/Roads—Site) |
Deficiency: There are visible faults in the
pavement: longitudinal, lateral, alligator, etc. The pavement
sinks or rises because of the failure of sub-base materials. |
Note: |
1. Do not include cracks on walkways/steps. |
2. For this to be a Level 2 deficiency, more than 10% of the
area must be impacted, for example, 100 out of 1,000 square
feet. The 10% level does not apply to Level 3 conditions. |
3. Relief joints are there by design; do not consider them
cracks. |
4. Repaired/sealed cracks should not be considered a deficiency. |
5. When observing traffic ability, consider the capacity to
support people on foot, in wheelchairs, and using walkers or
canes, etc., and the potential for problems and hazards. |
Level of Deficiency: |
- Level 1: N/A |
- Level 2: Damaged
pavement as defined above greater than 3/4 inch, cracks,
settlement, hinging/tilting, loose materials, pot holes, or
missing section(s) that affect traffic ability over more than
10% of the property's parking lots/driveways/roads. Note a
deficiency if you see cracks on more than 10% of the paved area. |
- Level 3: Damaged
pavement as defined above has made a parking lot/driveway
unusable/impassable or creates unsafe conditions for pedestrians
and vehicles. |
Comment: |
- Level 2: If the height
differential is greater than3/4inch, consider this a safety
hazard. If the condition of the surface could cause tripping or
falling, you must manually record this deficiency under “Hazards
(Health and Safety).” |
Ponding (Parking Lots/Driveways/Roads—Site) |
Deficiency: Water or ice has accumulated in
a depression on an otherwise flat plane. |
Note: |
1. Consider the impact of any measurable precipitation, 1/10
inch or more, during the last 48 hours. Note the deficiency only
if there is clear evidence that the ponding is a persistent or
long-standing problem. |
2. For parking lots/driveways/roads only, note a deficiency if
you see ponding on more than 5% of the paved area. |
Level of Deficiency: |
- Level 1: N/A |
- Level 2: Between 1 and
3 inches of water has accumulated, affecting the use of 5% or
more of a parking lot/driveway/road. The parking
lot/driveway/road is passable. |
- Level 3: More than 3
inches of water has accumulated making 5% or more of a parking
lot/driveway/road unusable or unsafe. |
