hcv.inspection.periodic · v1.0.0

The PHA must inspect the unit at least biennially during assisted occupancy to ensure it continues to meet HQS, except that a small rural PHA as defined in 24 CFR 902.101 must inspect at least once every three years. When a participant family or government official reports a potential deficiency, the PHA must inspect and notify the owner within 24 hours if the reported deficiency is life-threatening and within 15 days if it is not.
