SEMAP Fact Sheet
An overview of the program and questions and answers on SEMAP.
Question raised at SEMAP Training Session Clarification of
PHA verification of repairs of housing quality standards (HQS)
deficiencies.
The regulation at 982.404(a)(3) only states that the PHA "verifies"
HQS repairs. PHAs operate their agencies with minimum guidance
from HUD. Therefore, since the regulations do not define how a
PHA verifies that an owner or tenant completed required repairs,
Executive Directors have the flexibility to decide how the PHA
should verify.
HUD has not defined 'Verify' exclusively as a reinspection. The
PHA may elect to do a reinspection to comply with 982.404(a)(3)
to verify that all HQS deficiencies have been corrected. However,
a reinspection is not necessary if the PHA can obtain verification
through other means. For example, a PHA might accept an owner's
certification that required repairs were made and then verify
that action at the next on-site inspection. Further, a PHA might
tie the verification process to the severity of corrections to
be made and/or its experience with the owner and property. PHAs
should include in the PHA’s administrative plan how the PHA will
verify the correction of HQS deficiencies.
