A 100% UPCS (Uniform Physical Conditions Standards) Inspection is an inspection of 100% of all inspect-able areas,
including all common areas, units, systems, common areas, 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. Click here for more information.
A failed
REAC Inspection can be appealed by either using a Technical Review or Database Adjustment. You only get one attempt at an
appeal, and U.S. Housing Consultants can help you make sure that your appeal has the best chance possible. We have written
over 500 successful REAC Appeals for all types of housing agencies, ranging from Housing Authorities, to Multifamily Program
Projects, and Nursing Homes and other building types. We can assist you in writing your appeal (you will have to submit the
appeal yourself, we only ghost-write) and in establishing all of the supporting materials required. We are the leading
firm in the country on the subject of REAC Appeals, and our standard advise on whether or not an appeal is possible is
always free. Please click here for more information.
The best insurance against a failing REAC Inspection score is the package that we created several years
ago, which combines together a site inspection the day before your REAC Inspection that works with your maintenance staff
to address any and all last minute issues, and accompany your staff and the REAC Inspector during the course of the REAC
Inspection to ensure that the inspection is performed properly and that issues are recorded correctly where they are
found. This process has resulted in score of more than 80 every time and over 90 more than 95% of the time. Click here for more information or call our office at any time.

U.S.
Housing Consultants is now working with cities across the country on passing local codes and ordinances requiring private
landlords to make their units meet UPCS Inspection standards.We are working with municipalities to either complete the inspections
ourselves or to train the city building department on UPCS standards, as well as training landlords on the standards that
they must now meet. These short and non-intrusive inspections hopefully can prevent those electrical fires and other tragedies
we read about in the papers each year. For more information on this growing trend, please contact Scott Precourt by clicking here.
We create our own inspection reports for Pre-REAC and 100% UPCS Inspections, and all of our reports are customizable
and able to be provided to our clients within hours, not days. Our reports are all produced in Adobe PDF and can also
be produced in Microsoft Excel, Word, and HTML upon request. Our reports detail every violation by specific location
and by the specific details of the issues that need to be addressed, unlike many other systems which only provide you with
the "approximate" information, or other consultants who provide their clients with reproductions of the REAC report
that are often seen as confusing and undetailed. Click here for samples.
