Are there any written standards as to what "level" is? or what constitues a home to be "out of level"?

Don't know about being "written" but level means level.All door and windows should open and close without binding,cabinet doors should stay in the position you leave them, and there should be no open spacing between any of the the foundation blocking piers and home.If any of these problems are present your home will eventually pull itself apart as it probably unlevel.A house weighs alot.If the weight is not proportioned as designed you will have problem after problem. If someone tells you it is level enough find someone else to do it.Make sure they are using a water level to do it.

Bobby , according to HUD , level is +/- 1/2 inch in the full span of the home.
