Annual inspections and inspections before a REAC or compliance audit are valuable tools. Still, in some cases, property owners and PHAs need a deep dive into the condition of their properties. In those instances, US Housing Consultants provides a wide range of services to analyze current compliance and the long-term viability of multifamily projects.
Capital Needs Assessments
Capital needs assessments are the most widely accepted tool in the multifamily industry for determining the long-term viability of properties. These inspections are also known as Physical Needs Assessments (PNA), Property Condition Assessments (PCA), and Reserve Studies (RS). Our property assessment team has you covered no matter what you need the report for – whether it’s a new funding application, replacement reserve analysis, or as a valuable tool for internal planning – our reports are easy to read and quick to deliver.
Section 504/UFAS Barrier-Free Design Analysis
US Housing Consultants can inspect your property and determine where you are not meeting the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS) and Section 504. UFAS requirements for accessibility are a critical part of Fair Housing. Improper barrier-free design for persons with disabilities violates fair housing standards.
Whether you are from an affordable housing property that needs to make modifications to meet HUD, USDA/RD, or LIHTC requirements for a barrier-free design or if you are a conventional property owner looking to ensure that you are safe from liability in your common areas, US Housing can help you meet these standards within your budget and time frame.
Energy Audits
HUD requires Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) to conduct energy audits every five years and undertake specific cost-effective energy conservation measures. US Housing Consultants’ energy audits are a powerful tool for uncovering operational and equipment improvements that will save energy, reduce energy costs, and lead to improved performance for both property owners and tenants.
