Finding Details

Finding 2022-001
Criteria or specific requirement: Per 24 CFR section 982, the Town, as the public housing agency (PHA), must inspect units leased to a family at least annually to determine if the unit meets Housing Quality Standards (HQS) and the PHA must conduct quality control re-inspections. The PHA must prepare a unit inspection report. Condition: For two units, an annual housing quality standards inspection had not been preformed since 2019. Cause: the restrictions of the COVID pandemic appears to have prevented the completion of the annual inspections. Effect or potential effect: As the inspections were not completed, the units might not meet the HQS and have deficiencies or defects that were not remedied. Context: The finding is not considered prevalent as the inspections were not performed on 2 out of 40 sample selections. Recommendation: The Town should ensure that all inspections were completed timely. Views of responsible officials: Refer to the corrective action plan prepared by the Town.
