<br />SAHA Policy <br /> <br />SAHA will complete the initial inspection, determine whether the unit satisfies HQS, and <br />notify the owner and the family of the determination within 15 days of submission of the <br />Request for Tenancy Approval (RTA). <br />Inspection Results and Re-inspections <br /> <br /> SAHA Policy <br />If any HQS violations are identified, the owner will be notified of the deficiencies and be <br />given a time frame to correct them. If requested by the owner, the time frame for <br />correcting the deficiencies may be extended by SAHA for good cause. SAHA will re- <br />inspect the unit within 14 days of the date the owner notifies SAHA that the required <br />corrections have been made. <br />If the time period for correcting the deficiencies (or any SAHA-approved extension) has <br />elapsed, or the unit fails HQS at the time of the re-inspection, SAHA will notify the <br />owner and the family that the unit has been rejected and that the family must search for <br />another unit. SAHA may agree to conduct a second re-inspection, for good cause, at the <br />request of the family and owner. <br />Following a failed re-inspection, the family may submit a new Request for Tenancy <br />Approval for the unit if the family has not found another unit by the time the owner <br />completes all repairs and the family continues to wish to live in the unit. <br />Utilities <br />Generally, at initial lease-up the owner is responsible for demonstrating that all utilities are in <br />working order including those utilities that the family will be responsible for paying. <br />SAHA Policy <br /> <br />Utilities must be in service for testing at the time of the initial inspection, SAHA may not <br /> <br />conduct inspection if the utilities are not in service. <br />Appliances <br /> SAHA Policy <br /> <br />If the family is responsible for supplying the stove and/or refrigerator, SAHA will allow <br />the stove and refrigerator to be placed in the unit after the unit has met all other HQS <br />requirements. The required appliances must be in place before the HAP contract is <br />executed by SAHA. SAHA will execute the HAP contract based upon a confirmation <br />from the family that the appliances have been installed and are working. <br /> <br />8.II.C. ANNUAL HQS INSPECTIONS \[24 CFR 982.405(a)\] <br /> <br />Scheduling the Inspection <br />Each unit under HAP contract must be inspected within 12 months of the last full HQS <br />inspection. <br /> <br />04/01/14 <br />Page 8-9 <br /> <br />
