CHA will perform quality control inspections to ascertain program compliance. 

For the most part, these inspections are conducted by CHA staff or its contractor’s inspection supervisor or quality control inspector within thirty (30) days of the date the last inspection was conducted. The purpose of these inspections is to determinethat the HQS are uniformly applied and interpreted by all inspectors. Occasionally, quality control inspections are conducted by HUD field office staff, staff from the HUD Office of Inspector General, the Government Accountability Office, or CHA auditors to evaluate CHA staff or its contractor’s compliance with HUD regulatory requirements.

If based on the supervisory or quality control inspection, the unit does not meet the HQS, CHA staff or its contractor must notify the Owner and Participant that the unit failed the inspection and is not eligible for continued assistance unless specific repairs are made by the Owner and/or Participant within 30 days or within 24 hours of notification by CHA staff or its contractor for emergency fail items. CHA staff or its contractor must provide the Owner and Participant with notification of the HQS fail items and a date for CHA staff or its contractor to re-inspect the unit. The Owner will be advised that if the Owner does not make the necessary repairs, CHA will stoppayment to the Owner on the first of the month following the period for repairs. The Participant will be advised that the Participant’s assistance may be terminated for not completing repairs assigned to the Participant.
