Interviewer instructions
Condition of structure refers to the physical condition of the structure of the house and will be recorded in appropriate code.
The code, relevant for the structure, will be determined as follows:
(i) if the structure does not require any immediate repairs, major or minor, it will be regarded as in 'good' condition and code 1 will be assigned,
(ii) if the structure requires immediate minor repairs but not major repairs, it will be regarded as in 'satisfactory' condition and code 2 will be recorded for such a structure,
(iii) if the structure of the building requires immediate major repairs without which it may be unsafe for habitation or requires to be demolished and rebuilt, it will be regarded as in 'bad' condition and code 3 will be recorded for such building,
