HUD REAC Inspections Restart After Shutdown

The HUD Real Estate Assessment Center’s (REAC) Technical Assistance Center (TAC) reopened and resumed physical inspections on Oct. 18, with the resolution of the impasse in Washington that led to a government shutdown.

For properties that had inspections scheduled between Oct. 1 and 17 that were not able to be conducted, inspectors will contact the properties to reschedule them.

In addition, HUD changed its policy concerning inspections during the weeks of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s.  In the past, there were no inspections during these weeks. However, going forward, if a property wants an inspection during these weeks, they can be scheduled, as long as they are not scheduled on the actual holiday.  If a property does not want an inspection scheduled during these weeks, it should simply notify the inspector when she/he contacts the property, and the inspector will not schedule an inspection during those times.
