Finding Text
Criteria: Public Housing must be decent, safe, sanitary, and in good repair. Housing Authorities must maintain such housing in a manner that meets the physical condition standards set forth in 24 CFR section 5.703 and test housing to make sure that these standards are met.
Conditions: The Housing Authority has not done any testing on the public housing units to make sure that the required standards are met since 2022.
Cause: The Housing Authority has not done inspections since 2022, which has not allowed the Housing Authority to make sure that the requirements have been met.
Effect: Since inspections have not been done since 2022, there could be housing units that do not meet the minimum requirements set forth in 24 CFR section 5.703.
Questioned Costs: There are no questioned costs associated with this finding.
Recommendations: The Housing Authority should put policies in place to make sure that all housing units are inspected on a regular basis to watch for any issues.
