    Why it matters

    Find the deficiency while there is still time to fix it.

    NSPIRE inspections look at units, inside common areas and outside areas, and serious deficiencies can affect a property's standing with HUD. A pre-inspection gives your team time to fix issues on your schedule instead of scrambling after the inspection.

    What a pre-inspection includes

    A practical review your team can act on.

    On-site inspection

    Inspection of a sample of units, inside common areas and outside areas using NSPIRE standards.

    Findings report

    A clear report with each deficiency, its severity and photos.

    Prioritized repair list

    A repair list organized so your maintenance team knows what to address first.

    Follow-up review

    Review to confirm repairs are complete after your team finishes the work.

    Readiness summary

    A practical summary leadership can use before the inspection date.

    Two ways to engage

    Scoped for one inspection or built into ongoing oversight.

    One-time pre-inspection

    Ahead of a scheduled or expected inspection, for a single property or a group of properties.

    Important note

    A pre-inspection identifies deficiencies and helps your team prepare. It does not guarantee a specific inspection score. Repairs are completed by the property's maintenance team.
