HUD regulation 24 CFR 982.404 and Section B-3 of the HAP Contract requires that the owner must maintain the contract unit and premises in accordance with HQS. If the owner does not maintain the contract unit in accordance with HQS, PHCD must take prompt and vigorous action to enforce the owner’s obligation including recovery of overpayments, suspension of HAP, abatement, and/or termination of the HAP contract.
Please be advised that beginning January 1st, 2024, PHCD will place abatements on the Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) the 1st of the following month after the second failed inspection for owner violations of Housing Quality Standards (HQS).
Example: 2nd fail inspections is on March 6th. Abatement will go into affect on April 1st.
Owners are not eligible for HAP until the unit passes inspection.
Owners are encouraged to take prompt action to correct any HQS violations so they will not have their HAP abated and they will be in compliance with their HAP Contract. Once HAP is abated, owners must request a compliance inspection and the unit must pass in order to end the abatement. Abatements are lifted the day after the pass inspection. Compliance inspections are generally scheduled 10-15 days after the request is made to the Call Center at 305-403-3222.
