Chapter 10 – Housing Quality Standards, Inspections, and Utility Allowances [24 CFR Part 982, Subpart I] D. INITIAL HQS INSPECTION [24 CFR 982.401(a)] 1. Timely Initial HQS Inspection To the extent practicable, the inspection will be completed within 15 days after the family and the owner submit a RFTA. The Initial Inspection will be conducted to: - Determine if the unit and property meet the HQS defined in this Plan. - Document the current condition of the unit. - Document the information used for determination of rent-reasonableness. - Document those items that may be considered tenant preference as permissible by HUD regulations. If the unit fails the initial HQS inspection, the family and owner will be advised to notify SDHC once repairs are completed. If two failed re-inspections occur, the unit will be disqualified. 2. Pre-inspection of Vacant units SDHC will make every effort to accommodate owners who have vacancies that can be inspected prior to having selected a tenant. Pre-approved inspections will be valid for 30 days. The owner will still be required to submit the RFTA to staff to begin the leasing process. E. MOVING FORWARD: BIENNIAL HQS INSPECTIONS Units that have passed two consecutive initial and/or annual inspections on the first inspection will be eligible for inspection every two years. Requests for the biennial inspection be waived and the unit to be inspected in the “off” year will be reviewed by the Inspection Supervisor on a case-by-case basis. Units that qualify for an annual inspection waiver will be subject to random inspections in the “off” year to ensure that they are maintained to minimum standards. This will ensure this activity continues to be viable. Participants will retain the right to request special inspections at any time in accordance with the Special Inspection policy. F. ANNUAL HQS INSPECTIONS [24 CFR 982.405(a), 24 CFR 982.405(b)(2)] SDHC conducts an annual HQS inspection within 3 months prior to the anniversary date. Special or Emergency inspections may be scheduled between anniversary dates. The property owner must correct HQS deficiencies that cause a unit to fail unless the tenant is responsible. The family must allow SDHC to inspect the unit at reasonable times with reasonable notice. The family and owner are notified of the date and time of the inspection appointment by mail. If the family is unable to be present, they must reschedule the appointment to be conducted within 14 days of 10-2
Chapter 10 – Housing Quality Standards, Inspections, and Utility Allowances [24 CFR Part 982, Subpart I] the original inspection date. Requests for the inspection to be rescheduled more than 14 days from the original inspection date will be reviewed by the Inspection Supervisor on a case-by-case basis. If the family does not contact SDHC to reschedule the inspection, or if the family misses/cancels three inspection appointments, SDHC will consider the family in violation of a Family Obligation and its assistance may be terminated in accordance with this Plan. 1. Time Standards for Repairs Emergency Inspections The owner and/or tenant must correct emergency items that endanger the family’s health or safety within 24 hours of notification. (See Emergency Repair Items section). Special Inspections For non-emergency items, repairs must be made within 30 days. For major repairs, SDHC may approve an extension beyond 30 days. 2. Rent Increases Rent to owner increases may not be given until the unit passes HQS. G. EMERGENCY REPAIR ITEMS [24 CFR 982.401, 24 CFR 982.404] The following are considered emergency repair items and must be corrected by the responsible party within 24 hours of notice by SDHC: - Units that cannot be secured. - Waterlogged ceiling in imminent danger of falling. - Major plumbing leaks or flooding. - Natural gas leak or fumes. - Electrical problem that could result in shock or fire. - Fire damage. - No heat when outside temperature is below 65 degrees Fahrenheit and temperature inside unit is below 65 degrees Fahrenheit. - Utilities not in service. - No running water. - Lack of one functioning toilet. - Lack of one functioning smoke alarm on each level of the unit. - Two or more non-functioning burners on a gas-burner stove If the emergency repair item(s) are not corrected in the period required by SDHC, and the owner is responsible, the Housing Assistance Payment will be abated and the HAP contract will be terminated. If the family does not correct an HQS breach for which they are responsible, in the time required, SDHC will refer the family to the Program Integrity Unit for action to terminate assistance to the family. 10-3
