What is a HUD REAC inspection? The Real Estate Assessment Center's (REAC) mission is to provide and promote the effective use of accurate, timely and reliable information assessing the condition of HUD's portfolio; to provide information to help ensure safe, decent and affordable housing; and to restore the public trust by identifying fraud, abuse and waste of HUD resources. (Yet, there have always been HUD properties, with unsatisfactory REAC scores, still doing business with unethical corporate landlords.)
Prior to the REAC inspection date, the Property Owner/Agent or
Public Housing Authority conducts a complete (100%) inspection of
the property. It should include the site, all building exteriors, all building systems, all common
areas and all units. For clarification purposes: all areas within a building that are not residential
units are considered common areas for the REAC inspection.

This REAC inspection checklist is dated January 2016, but is still used by HUD officials in 2018. It may be helpful for tenants and any tenant organizations to have this inspection list on hand along with your local Board of Health building codes checklist.

Freedom can not ring in an oppressive society. This blog reflects thoughts, personal experiences, + several notes of interest on 'affordable' housing. What do you think of gov't financing nuisance properties? Rockland Place continues doing business as SPRING GATE APARTMENTS along Martha Drive + Hannah Way in Rockland, Mass. (shady business).
