Finding Text
2022-7 Noncompliance with Inspection Requirements Grantor: Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Program Name: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers CFDA number: 14.871 Criteria: HUD and Four Square?s Administration Plan require timely resolution to life threatening or other Health Quality Standards (HQS) deficiencies found during inspection of units. Condition: Found an Owner Notification form did not list the date repairs to be completed or when abatement would occur if not corrected, and the landlord was given 60 days to correct failed inspection without an exception to the 30-day deadline documented. Found a failed inspection where abatement did not occur until two months after required time allowed for corrections. Found an instance of allowing more than 24 hours to correct life threatening deficiencies. Effect: Noncompliance. Cause: Lack of understanding of responses to HQS deficiencies. Recommendation: I recommend overall improved documentation of and responses to inspections, failed inspections and enforcement of family obligations. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Four Square agrees with this finding and will adhere to the correction action plan beginning on page 50 in this audit report.
