Inspection Scores Breakdown

REAC Inspections are scored using a scale of 1 to 100. The most recent REAC score determines when the next inspection will occur.

There are three letters (A-C) that may follow the score, in addition to an *. The definition of these characters is as follows:

Unacceptable Scores

A passing score for a REAC Physical Inspection is 60 or above. According to HUD protocol, all inspections released on or after November 1, 2002 with a score of 59 and below are subject to referral to HUD's Department of Enforcement Center (DEC). Owners will be given 60 days to make all repairs and a re-inspection will be scheduled.

If the property scores a 60 or above on the re-inspection, the previous failed inspection will be closed. If the property scores 59 or below (failing score) on the REAC re-inspection, the HUD Program Center will submit a Compliance Disposition Enforcement (CDE) Plan to HUD Headquarters containing the Program Center's recommendations to address the failure of the property to meet HUD property standards requirements.

The recommendation may contain sanctions including the placement of 2530 flags, (which means participating principals (owner/agent) can be flagged in HUD's Active Partners Performance System (APPS) for non-compliance), debarment, civil penalties, abatement of subsidy or HAP contract termination.
