If you need help with repairs or if something isn’t working, call your property manager right away. All inspections are expected to be completed by early October.
A good Real Estate Assessment Center(REAC) score is a key to maintaining KCHA’s “high performer” status, which enables us to secure more grant money for programs and services that benefit you.
Check List Of Things To Look For
Cleanliness and Appearance
• I have no infestations in my units (fruit flies etc)
• I do not have any peeling paint.
• My stove, oven and exhaust fan are clean and have no grease or food particles.
• I have cleaned my unit and have no clutter. I can see my floors and can easily walk around my apartment and get to my doors, patios and windows.
• My carpet has been cleaned to remove any stains.
Mechanical
• The rubber seal on my freezer and refrigerator is not torn or damaged.
• My bathroom exhaust fan works properly and has been cleaned of all dust so I have proper ventilation.
• My water faucets (inside and out) are not leaking.
• Smoke detectors are working and nothing is covering them.
• The weather stripping on my doors and windows are in good condition and keeps out the cold air.
• I have not installed any different locks on my doors within my unit.
Hazards
• Nothing is blocking my circuit breaker box. No posters or pictures are hung on the door of the box.
• All items are at least six inches away from heaters and all curtains are six inches above heaters **EVEN IF THE HEAT IS NOT TURNED ON**
• No items are stored near the hot water tank.
• I have nothing blocking the back door of my unit or blocking any windows in my unit. In case of a fire, I may exit quickly.
• My telephone, cable and extension cords are not lying exposed on the floor causing someone to trip. They are secured above the doors or I have placed a rug over them.
Outdoors
• All patios must be cleaned. Items allowed on the patio are barbecue grills, lawn furniture, children’s bikes, and some potted plants. All other items must be stored elsewhere.
• I am not using my deck for storage.
• All flower beds must be weeded and plants must be 10 inches away from the building.
• Keep the exterior of your apartment clear of papers, candy wrappers and drink containers, children’s toys, and cigarette butts. Animal feces must be disposed of daily.
REAC’s mission is to ensure that housing subsidized by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) remains decent, safe and sanitary.
