The Chelsea Housing Authority has already conducted an apartment inspection; why is a Certificate of Habitability required before I can move in?

All rental units, regardless of who the owner of the property is, are governed by Chapter II of the State Sanitary Code. Chelsea Inspectional Services is charged with enforcing this code and therefore must conduct its own inspection prior to occupancy.
