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 />Utilities must be in service for testing at the time of the initial inspection. SAHA may not <br />conduct an inspection if the utilities are not in service. <br />Appliances <br />SAHA Policy <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/BIENNIAL HQS INSPECTIONS [FR Notice 6/25/14] <br />SAHA Policy <br />Each unit under HAP contract must be inspected within 12 months of the last full HQS <br />inspection. <br />SAHA will accept the results of inspections performed by HUD or for other housing <br />programs such as the HOME or the LIHTC Program. <br />Scheduling the Inspection <br />SAHA Policy <br />If an adult or an adult family member cannot be present on the scheduled date, the family <br />must request that SAHA reschedule the inspection. SAHA and the family will agree on a <br />new inspection date that generally should take place within 14 days of the originally- <br />scheduled date. SAHA may schedule an inspection more than 14 days after the original <br />date for good cause. <br />If the family misses the first scheduled appointment without requesting a new inspection <br />date, SAHA will automatically schedule a second and final inspection. If the family <br />misses two scheduled inspections without SAHA approval, SAHA will consider the <br />family to have violated its obligation to make the unit available for inspection. This may <br />result in termination of the family’s assistance in accordance with Chapter 12. <br />3-219
