Are all units inspected at least bi-annually under NSPIRE guidelines?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Only for new units
• D. Only if required by funding

Answer: (A)

Periodic, comprehensive checks are built into NSPIRE to safeguard tenants and demonstrate ongoing compliance. NSPIRE requires that every housing unit in a property be inspected at least every six months. This universal coverage ensures hazards—such as leaky plumbing, faulty electrical, mold, pests, or broken safety equipment—are identified early and addressed promptly, keeping conditions safe and habitable across the entire property rather than relying on sampling. The requirement applies regardless of unit age or funding sources; it isn’t limited to new units or dependent on funding. If a unit is inaccessible, the process calls for proper documentation and scheduling for the next inspection, but the expectation remains to inspect all units on a bi-annual basis.
