Remote or video inspections may be allowed in rural or small areas
What the document says“the Secretary may allow a grantee to conduct a remote or video inspection of a unit if the remote or video inspection-- ``(I) is thorough; ``(II) does not misrepresent the condition of the unit; and”
The section lets the Secretary allow a grantee to inspect a unit in a rural or small area remotely or by video, provided the inspection is thorough, does not misrepresent the condition of the unit, and gives the information needed to evaluate the unit fully and accurately against the relevant standards. A separate rule of construction states that nothing in these clauses affects the operation of the other housing programs they name.
What the document actually says“the Secretary may allow a grantee to conduct a remote or video inspection of a unit if the remote or video inspection-- ``(I) is thorough; ``(II) does not misrepresent the condition of the unit; and”
The housing agency may let a check be done by video. The check must be complete. It must not give a false picture of the home.
A country home may sit far from the nearest office. Going there takes time. Video can serve if it shows the home fully and truly.
