************* www.VeryBadHome.com ************ Liberty Homes, Inc (of Goshen, Indiana) delivered this modular home to my property, and the dealer signed for the modular home. PLEASE GO TO THE WEBSITE TO SEE PHOTOS. BTW, the foundation was professionally surveyed and is not the problem.
Firstly, I apologize for the first 30 seconds of irrelevant video. This was my first time doing this. Secondly, many thanks to Chuck Goudie, Ann Pistone, and Jackie of ABC 7 Chicago for bringing this to light. In IL if you have a problem with a new modular home, the IL Department of Public Health(IDPH) may do absolutely nothing to enforce their regulations as they did in my case. BTW, IDPH is the agency responsible for regulating modular homes in IL. Our Governor, Rod Blagojevich, is supposed to oversee IDPH. Yet, no one wants to do anything to enforce the regulations set forth by IDPH in Statute 430-ILCS-115. Not all modular homes are built the same. In IL, if you are fortunate enough to receive a modular home that is actually built to code and to the specifications(plans) provided to IDPH by the manufacturer, then you are lucky. Robb Robbins, owner of Woodale Homes, Inc in Oregon IL, sold me this home. Woodale Homes, Inc indicates that they are “MODULAR HOME SPECIALISTS” or “QUALITY HOME SPECIALISTS”. Did you know that modular home dealers are not licensed in the State of Illinois? If you are considering a modular home in IL or already have one in IL, please contact your IL State Representative or IL Senator for your District and ask them to support House Bill 5272 when it comes through. This bill was put together by my State Representative Mike Tryon, and is essentially a lemon law for modular homes so other people do not go through what I did, and get screwed. There are Lemon Laws for automobiles. What is a greater purchase, a car or a home? IL State Representatives Jil Tracy, John Bradley, and Ruth Munson will be supporting this Bill.
IDPH indicated, “The Department has completed an extensive review of the allegations and has determined that there is no basis for legal action by the State of Illinois.” No basis? WTF! Some time in 2007, IDPH prepared court documents to bring criminal charges against Liberty Homes, Inc(the manufacturer), and then all of a sudden IDPH dropped everything and did not pursue things. I have copies of these prepared court documents; look on my website below. This whole situation is like a Twilight Zone episode.
If you are a structural engineer in IL, please contact me via the website. IF YOU HAVE A LIBERTY HOMES, INC MODULAR HOME AND HAVE/HAD STRUCTURAL ISSUES, OR CODE VIOLATIONS PLEASE CONTACT ME VIA THE WEBSITE. If you have had any issues with IDPH not enforcing their regulations, please contact me via the website.
Besides the video, see the website for detailed photos and further details.

Thanks for the …
Thanks for the warning, I’m interested in modular/prefab housing and it’s good to get the blacklist started early.

Christ in Heaven– …
Christ in Heaven–what a nightmare. Best wishes, Mr. Kot, and I pray you’re the victor in the end. There aren’t enough words to convey how sorry I feel about this horrific situation you’ve had to endure. Stay as positive as humanly possible; you’ll be in my prayers and I’m rooting for you.
