The presence of the owner or the owner's representative is encouraged but is <br />not required. <br />At initial inspection of a vacant unit, SAHA will inspect the unit in the presence of the <br />owner or owner's representative. The presence of a family representative is permitted, but <br />is not required. <br /> <br />8-II.B.

For <br />PHAs with 1,250 or more budgeted units, to the extent practicable such inspection and <br />determination must be completed within 15 days. The 15-day period is suspended for any period <br />during which the unit is not available for inspection [982.305(b)(2)]. <br />SAHA Policy <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 14 days of submission of the <br />Request for Tenancy Approval (RTA) or of the date when unit becomes available for <br />inspection, whichever is later <br />Inspection Results and Reinspections <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 7 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 />3-218
