for requiring that timely corrective and remedial actions are taken by the owner to address identified deficiencies.
(i) Health and safety deficiencies. Health and safety deficiencies must be corrected immediately. Except for small-scale housing, the participating jurisdiction must adopt a more frequent inspection schedule for properties that have been found to have health and safety deficiencies. For small-scale housing, the participating jurisdiction may adopt a more frequent inspection schedule if the small-scale housing is found to have health and safety deficiencies, as described in its inspection procedures.
(ii) Other deficiencies. If there are observed deficiencies for any of the inspectable areas in the property standards established by the participating jurisdiction, in accordance with the inspection procedures, a follow-up on-site inspection to verify that deficiencies are corrected must occur within 12 months. The participating jurisdiction may establish a list of non-hazardous deficiencies for which correction can be verified by third party documentation ( e.g., paid invoice for work order) rather than re-inspection.
(g) Inspection procedures. The participating jurisdiction must establish written inspection procedures. The procedures must include detailed inspection checklists, a description of how and by whom inspections will be carried out, and procedures for training and certifying qualified inspectors. For ongoing property inspections, the procedures must also describe how frequently the property will be inspected, consistent with this section and § 92.209.
