REAC Inspector Alert - Confirm your system date
settings
PIH-REAC has observed a few inspections being uploaded with
a non-US date format (i.e. dd/mm/yyyy) instead of the correct
format (mm/dd/yyyy).
Use the System
Date Confirmation document to follow instructions for
confirming the date format on your DCD is set to English
(United States). You have to perform this verification before
uploading the inspection to the HUD server after installation/reinstallation
of an Operating System or anytime after a system crash.
Failure to do this will delay the release of the inspection
and your payment.
If you have any questions or problems, please contact Technical
Assistance Center (TAC) at 1-888-245-4860

REAC Inspectors Alert:
It has recently come to our attention at the REAC that we
have inspectors recording a defect for an electrical hazard
solely because the disconnect/timer/panel is not secured.
The intent of this defect is not to penalize the property
for unsecured electrical devices, but rather to record the
findings that present an electrical hazard when left unsecured.
The definition states the following: “A cover is missing,
which results in exposed visible electrical connections.”
If the electrical device is found to be unsecured, which
requires inspection, a defect will be recorded only when
bare electrical wiring or bare electrical connections exist.
If it has been your practice to record a defect solely because
an electrical disconnect/timer/panel is unsecured you must
cease this practice immediately.
Please contact our Technical Assistance Center at 888-245-4860
if you have any additional questions or require further
clarification.
Thank you for your continuing efforts to ensure that the
UPCS protocol is properly followed and implemented.
