HUD (or “REAC”) inspection – HUD provides affordable homes through several rental assistance programs. These programs include public housing, multifamily housing, and housing choice vouchers (Section 8). These HUD-assisted properties are inspected to make sure they are decent, safe, and sanitary.
NSPIRE inspections focus on deficiencies deemed to be the most important indicators of housing quality. NSPIRE inspections may use a high sample rate and are intended to provide HUD a high level of confidence in the inspection results. These inspections are requited by HUD and include the following:

- Whether appliances, like the refrigerator and stove, are working,
- Water supply: Whether pipes and faucets are leaking, and that the hot and cold water handles are working,
