Criteria
The PHA must inspect the unit leased to a family at least biennially to determine if the unit meets
Housing Quality Standards (HQS) and the PHA must conduct quality control re-inspections.
Condition
The minimum required number of quality control re-inspections were not performed.
Questioned Costs
None
Context
During our testing of HQS quality control re-inspections, it was determined based on 24 CFR 985.2 that
the Authority did not perform the minimum required amount of 9 quality control re-inspections during the
year as they only completed 3 re-inspections.
Effect
Inspections may have been performed incorrectly that re-inspections would have caught.
Cause
The Authority did not have a proper understanding of the quality control re-inspection procedure
requirements.
Repeat Finding
Not a repeat finding.
Recommendation
We recommend the Authority reviews the program requirements to ensure the appropriate number of
HQS quality control re-inspections is performed each year.
Views of Responsible Officials
Management recognizes the deficiency and plans to implement the auditor’s recommendation.
