less thorough than the inspections conducted on behalf of HUD.
Consistent with this assessment, the mortgage company’s
inspector, Joseph Toler, voluntarily characterized his own
inspection as “cursory” in his deposition, indicating that he did
not look at every building in the Complex and that, for the
buildings he did examine, he “would be like walking in the door
and looking around . . . and saying, well, this isn’t too bad”
and then leaving.

        For example, on August 7, 1995, HUD sent to the
Defendants a July 11, 1995 physical inspection report and
requested a “detailed” written response. The Defendants
responded on September 6, 1995, in a brief letter that touched on
only a few of the reported deficiencies. On September 11, 1995,
HUD wrote to the Defendants, informing them that their letter of
September 6 failed to provide the “detailed plan of action” that
HUD requested in its August 7 letter. HUD again requested a
detailed response, this time within fifteen days. On October 17,
1995, still not having received any response from the Defendants,
HUD wrote a third request for a detailed plan, giving the
Defendants another fifteen days to respond. In reply, HUD
received from the Defendants a rather indignant letter stating in
two short paragraphs which deficiencies noted in the inspection
report had been corrected.
