As a cost-saving measure, HUD now allows housing authorities to forgo a re-inspection, in some instances, and accept other forms of evidence of repair completions. BHA will accept self-certification for repaired fail items in the form of receipts from contractors performing repair work, photos, or video, with receipts being the primary source of evidence required. The acceptance such evidence will be reviewed and processed on a case by case basis, with careful attention and examination and assurance of tenant safety.
