Housing Quality Inspections (HQS)

HQS inspections are required by HUD and the MHA. Inspections ensure minimum housing quality standards are met for all apartments  that are  subsidized under the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program. MHA currently contracts a third party inspection company McCright and Associates to complete  all HQS inspections. 

  • Initial Inspection: New units must pass inspection before MHA can approve a move-in or enter into a HAP contract.
  • Annual or Biennial Inspection: All apartments are required to be completed and pass inspection. Inspections can be every year or every other year depending on the last inspection. 
  • Special or Complaint Inspection: This type of inspection can be requested by the landlord or tenant.
  • Quality Control Inspection (QC): This type of inspection is done to verify the inspection company is accurately inspecting apartments. These inspections are randomly selected each month for re-inspection by a QC inspector. 

Please visit the HUD website for additional information for Landlords.
