HUD Inspection Reform and Capital Improvement Act of 2023

The HUD Inspection Reform and Capital Improvement Act of 2023 establishes new standards for inspecting federally assisted housing properties, requiring annual physical inspections using a 100-point Uniform Physical Condition Standards (UPCS) scoring system. Properties scoring below 60 points face increased scrutiny, including mandatory corrective plans within 30 days, potential civil penalties, and possible termination of housing assistance if deficiencies aren't fixed. The bill mandates quarterly public reports on property conditions and annual HUD reports on inspection results across the country. It directly affects HUD, housing property owners receiving federal assistance, and approximately 3 million low-income tenants living in federally assisted housing.
