Auditing loan files for flood compliance....there is a property located at 123 N. Main St. - it consists of 6 apartment buildings, and 1 office building. One determination was ordered (prior to loan origination) for the subject address and it indicates property is in a flood zone. Bank then determined by looking at flood map (from FEMA) and the appraisal in the loan file, that only one building on the property is in a flood zone. In looking at FEMA's flood map for this property, it is difficult in my opinion, to say without a doubt, that all of the other 6 structures are not located in the flood zone. Will this really fly with examiners? Or do we need something more concrete stating whether or not each building/structure on the property is or is not located in a flood zone? Should a determination outlining the flood zone status for each building have been obtained? Loan closed several month ago, so wondering what exactly needs to be done (if anything) at this point, I just don't want us to be criticized by examiners for any of this. Help please!

Have your FHD provider do an aerial overlay.

Think about an agricultural loan where you have a 160 acres, the house/farm yard and maybe grain bins ¼ mile away. One SFHDF can be used to represent the entire property. I see them all of the time.

Now if some of the buildings are in a SFHA and some aren't, it can be confusing to say "yes" or "no" on one SFHDF. As Randy mentioned, an aerial overlay can provide clarity.
