For the year ended June 30, 2022, 2022-001 Criteria The PHA must document the annual inspections and certifications of its tenants. Condition During our audit examination, we observed that forty (40) tenant files were missing from the annual management room inspections. Cause Management explains that due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, all inspections scheduled for 2022 had to be postponed. The reason for postponing these inspections is to prevent the spread of the virus and avoid contact between people. The inspections were rescheduled for early 2023. Effect Because Management has not performed the HUD-required annual manual inspections, it may be in non-compliance with HUD-imposed requirements. Management has the urgency to reschedule the inspections as soon as possible and comply with HUD requirements because it exposes the Corporation to fines and/or being penalized. Questioned cost None Recommendation We recommend reprogramming inspections not performed on units for 2023 to avoid entering noncompliance with HUD requirements.
