Unit Inspections

Housing Quality Standards ("HQS") have been set by HUD to ensure that assisted units meet minimum health and safety standards. HQS consists of (a) performance requirements, and (b) acceptability criteria or HUD approved variations in the acceptability criteria. Please contact MHA for a copy of HUD Form 52580 (Inspection Form). MHA requires additional standards in compliance with the local City Code and Fire Code regarding window screens, screen doors, smoke alarms, etc.

Most Common Items That Fail Inspection?

  1. Inoperable smoke alarms (batteries dead or missing)
  2. Missing or cracked electrical outlet cover plates
  3. Railings not present where required (handrails for steps most commonly required)
  4. Deteriorated paint surfaces (i.e.,. peeling, cracking, flaking paint on exterior and interior surfaces (Lead-based paint is an issue for all units built prior to 1-1-78, specifically with a child under age 6 in the family.)
  5. Tripping hazards caused by permanently installed floor coverings (carpet/vinyl)
  6. Cracked or broken window panes
  7. Inoperable burners on stoves or inoperable range hoods
  8. Missing burner control knobs
  9. Defective refrigerator gaskets (broken seal allowing air to escape)
  10. Leaking faucets or other plumbing
