Public Housing: Study on Yearly Building Inspections

Annual Public Housing Inspections Accountability Act

Law

This bill requires the government to investigate why some public housing buildings are not getting their required yearly safety inspections. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and a government watchdog group must finish this study within one year.
The study will count exactly how many required inspections were missed or left unfinished over the past year. This will help officials understand the size of the backlog in checking the safety of government-funded homes.
The report must also calculate how many more inspectors the government needs to hire to ensure every single public housing unit is checked for quality and safety every year without fail.
This action aims to address concerns that many families in public housing are living with unfixed maintenance issues, like mold or broken heat, because there aren't enough workers to verify that buildings are being kept up to code.
