Finding: Item 2022-002 ? Special Tests and Provisions ? Housing Quality Standards Federal Program ? Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS Assistance Listing Number ?14.241 Significant Deficiency Criteria: The federal program requires that all housing that involves acquisition, rehabilitation, conversion, lease, repair of facilities, new construction, project- or tenant-based rental assistance, and operating costs must meet various housing quality standards listed in 24 CFR sections 574.310(b)(1)-(2). Condition/context: One of seven units tested had a virtual inspection performed, but did not have a physical inspection performed. There was not a waiver for COVID-19 special measures. One of seven units tested was not listed on the master internal tracking system. For this unit, an inspection was performed, but there was not documentation resolving issues that were identified during the inspection. Cause: The Organization's system did not track all necessary data. Effect: An incomplete list increases the possibility that a unit may go without timely inspection, or that issues identified during inspections are not timely resolved. Questioned cost: Not applicable. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization establish a control ensuring that all units are listed, and that the master list tracks resolution of issues identified during inspection. View of responsible officials: Management's response is reported in "Corrective Action Plan" at the end of this report.
