How do I schedule or re-schedule my inspection? 

Your HCV Based Program inspects each assisted unit on an annual or biennial basis. The family and owner are notified of the date of the inspection appointment by mail and by phone at least 30 days prior to the inspection date. Participation at the inspection is mandatory. Inspections occur weekdays between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. If the family is unable to be present for the inspection due to a medical appointment or court appearance, your HCV Program will reschedule the inspection upon receiving written verification of the appointment or court appearance. If the family misses two inspection appointments, your HCV Program will consider the family to have violated a family obligation and their assistance may be terminated. Please call Michael & Tellez Associates at (877) 731-6732 or email mmichael@michaeltellezassoc.com if you need to reschedule your inspection. If a unit fails inspection, the owner is notified and must correct any deficiencies in a timely manner.  For tenant-caused damages, the tenant must correct the repairs. If repairs are not completed within the timeframe specified, your HCV Program will consider the family to have violated a family obligation and their assistance may be terminated.

Non-emergency items repairs must be completed within 30 days.  Emergency items must be repaired within 24 hours. At the end of your biennial inspection, if you receive a Certification of Repairs form from the inspector, you can self-certify that the fail items have been repaired or replaced.  After all the failed items have been repaired or replaced, both the tenant and the owner/property manager are required to sign and date the Certification of Repairs form and attach receipts, photos, and repair work invoices. This form must be signed, dated and submitted along with proof of repairs within 14 days from the failed inspection date. Please make sure to include the tenant name and t-code. You will receive a “Passed Inspection Letter” within two weeks of your HCV Program receiving the completed Certification of Repairs form, or you will be notified if an additional inspection is required.
