Preparing for Physical Inspections
Event Description
Agency inspections of affordable housing properties are required for all affordable housing programs, and failure to meet the required inspection standards can result in significant financial and administrative penalties for property owners. This four-hour training focuses on how owners and managers may prepare for such inspections, with a concentration on HUD NSPIRE inspections and State Housing Finance Agency inspections for the LIHTC program.
Specific training areas include
(1) a complete discussion of the most serious violations, including health & safety;
(2) how vacant units are addressed during inspections;
(3) when violations will be reported to the IRS;
(4) the 20 most common deficiencies;
(5) how to prepare a property for an inspection;
(6) strategies for successful inspections; and
(7) a review of the most important NSPIRE Standards as they relate to the three inspectable areas [Units/Interior/Exterior].
The training will summarize the HUD Final Rule on NSPIRE with a discussion of
(1) the new Self-Inspection Requirement and Reports;
(2) Timeline for Deficiency Correction;
(3) New Affirmative Requirements; and
(4) Tenant Involvement.
At the end of the training, attendees will have a blueprint they can use to prepare their properties for agency required physical inspections – regardless of the program under which they operate.
