100% UPCS Building and Unit Inspections

100% UPCS Inspection Services

A 100% UPCS (Uniform Physical Conditions Standards) Inspection is an inspection of 100% of all inspectable areas, including all common areas, units, systems, building exterior, and property site. These inspections have been used for preparing for REAC Inspections, completing annual unit inspections, due diligence inspections at property acquisitions or sale for both HUD and LIHTC, Inspection of properties prior to LIHTC audits, and many other issues. The UPCS Inspection standard is brilliant in its simplicity, as it inspects and reviews all components on a property to see if they are working properly, and our inspectors are the most thorough, most knowledgeable in the industry. Our staff inspectors (no sub-contractors) will provide you with a complete list of issues to correct, as well as show you exactly how these inspections work and how you can prepare for the future.

Housing Authority Annual UPCS Inspections

U.S. Housing Consultants have performed annual UPCS Inspections for Housing Authorities throughout the country for nearly ten years, performing inspections on thousands of units in a short time frame, while still providing the most detailed inspection report in the industry. Our costs per unit are competitive and include the services that only our staff can provide, as we do not use sub-contractors like many of our national competitors - all of our inspectors are employees whose training we oversee and their pay is not related to the number of units they can complete in a day. U.S. Housing Consultants provides the highest quality inspections, with the best long-term support, and our clients are all High-Performers. Please contact us for more information or if you would like us to send you a proposal.

Municipal Housing Inspection Services

U.S. Housing Consultants have been working with cities throughout the country to develop new zoning regulations, ordinances, and laws that require that non-subsidized housing apartments meet the minimum housing standards of UPCS Inspection codes. We are providing training, insight, and inspection services to cities that want to see an end to the tragedies of apartment fires and other instances of renters being harmed by housing that is not being maintained properly. Enforcement mechanisms vary widely, but what we have seen from our perspective is that the non-intrusive minimum condition inspection makes it easier for cities to understand where the issues are that need to be addressed, again preventing possible tragic ends and giving market rate renters the same protections that the federal government gives HUD and LITHC properties. Please contact us for information on this service.
