1. What is NSPIRE and who does it apply to?

NSPIRE is HUD’s standardized inspection protocol used for multifamily and public housing. It defines what’s “deficient,” how it’s scored, and how fast issues must be fixed. Need the full rule and examples? Join the members area for HUD-aligned guidance.

2. How are deficiencies classified (Life-Threatening, Severe, Moderate, Low)?

They’re prioritized by resident safety and building impact; higher severity can trigger faster correction timelines. See photo examples and correction timelines in the members area.

3. How are scoring and re-inspections handled?

Weighed scores, severity, correction time, and location. Some items require quick 24 hour verification of correction. Members get a custom weighed score calculator + example images.

4. What are common “fast-fail” items?

Inoperable smoke/CO alarms, missing GFCI protection near water, blocked egress, exposed electrical. We maintain a living checklist for members with photos by room/area.

5. Where can I see compliant vs. non-compliant examples?

Inside the app. Subscribers have access to full image libraries and inspector-grade explanations.
