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.
