Please click here to read the May 1, 2019 memorandum that provides guidance on what steps a field office must take when a project receives a score of zero because an owner and/or management agent defaulted on the contractual obligation to allow HUD to perform a physical inspection based on the new 14-day notification period.
On February 22, 2019, PIH and Housing published the Standardization of REAC Inspection Notification Timelines, Notice PIH-2019-02(HA)/H-2019-04. This Notice informed PHAs and multifamily owners and agents that beginning on March 25, 2019, they would be given a 14-day notice of an inspection. If the owner/agent could not accept that date, they would be given a second date that fell within the next seven days of the original one. If the owner/agent refused the second date, the project would receive a physical inspection score of zero.
