Finding 2025-002 Finding Resolution Status: In progress Population Size: 90 Sample Size: 11 Noncompliance Information: I tested 11 work orders and found noncompliance in 3 work orders. I then requested all work orders that reflected a noncompletion date that was more than 30 days and determined that 18 work orders out of 90 work orders took longer than 30 days to complete.

Criteria: HUD rules and regulations require that standard priority work orders be completed within 30 days of the submission date. Effect: Tenants were not having their submitted work orders addressed and corrected within an appropriate timeframe and the minimum property standards required by HUD may not have been maintained. Cause: Management agent oversight. Recommendation: The management agent should establish procedures to ensure that work orders are completed within the timeframe required by HUD.

Corrective Action Plan

2. Finding 2025-002: a. Comments on the findings and Recommendation: At the time of the Audit, we agree with the findings. b. Action (s) Taken or planned on the finding: Work orders had fallen behind due to staff changes, and unit turns. Regional Asset Manager has advised the staff that this cannot continue, and all work orders must be completed within less than (30) days from date of receipt. Since completion of Audit, maintenance has been working to get all work orders completed and caught up and to make sure they will continue to be completed in a timely manner. Regional Asset Manager will also check to make sure this is being accomplished at each quarterly site visit.
