What this inspection covers

Inspection under HUD's National Standards for the Physical Inspection of Real Estate (NSPIRE), which replaced the legacy UPCS and HQS protocols. Scores units, inside areas and outside areas with a health-and-safety-first defect hierarchy and mandatory correction timeframes.

Key inspection points

  • Unit-level habitability and safety defects
  • Inside area (common) deficiencies
  • Outside area and site deficiencies
  • Life-threatening and severe defect identification
  • Fire and carbon monoxide alarm verification
  • Electrical, plumbing and HVAC function

How the scope is structured

Once a proposal is approved, these scopes are generated into your project automatically. Each engineer works and signs off one scope at a time, and every checkpoint below becomes a recorded finding with a condition, a severity and photographic evidence.
