Inspections
The health and safety of our tenants is important to us. Our staff completes bi-annual inspections to maintain units and surrounding development properties in good condition for tenants today and in the future. Tenants may receive notification of additional inspections required by other agencies, such as the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). If any inspection results in needed repairs, HACPFC’s maintenance staff will make them. If any inspection finds that the deficient item(s) is a result of tenant inattention or neglect, the tenant will be notified by the Inspector or their Housing Specialist and advised on how to remedy the situation.
