Does inspecting for trash/litter include the inside of the unit?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Sometimes
• D. Never

Answer: (B)

The scope of trash and litter in NSPIRE inspections is focused on exterior areas and common spaces around the property, not the inside of individual units. Evaluating outdoor areas for trash and litter helps identify health and pest risks that arise from outdoor waste and debris, which can affect the entire site. The interior of a unit is assessed under other criteria related to interior sanitation and conditions, not under this exterior-focused category.

So, inspecting for trash and litter does not include the inside of the unit.
