HUD's Implementation of the Timing of Inspections Under NSPIRE

HUD OIG is auditing HUD’s implementation of the timing for property inspections under the National Standards for the Physical Inspection of Real Estate (NSPIRE).  In response to Congress’ directive, HUD developed NSPIRE to align and consolidate its inspection regulations to create a standardized inspection protocol to evaluate HUD housing across multiple programs.  Our audit is to determine whether HUD has effectively implemented the requirements for the timing of inspections under NSPIRE.
