Bill Seeks Public Database of Housing Inspection Information
On July 28, the House Committee on Financial Services approved H.R. 8476, which would require HUD and the USDA to produce a database and an annual report to Congress regarding various information on federal inspections of federally-assisted housing.
The public database would include undefined “unsatisfactory” and failing scores, the name of the federal program/s subsidizing the property, the defects and violations noted in the inspection report, information on appeals of scores, and information on waiting lists of residents requesting to be moved to other units. Inspection scores of HUD-assisted housing are already publicly available.
The bill would also require HUD and the USDA to provide an annual report to Congress containing such information.
