Be REAC Inspection Ready

To ensure that federally subsidized housing meets the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) standards for safety, cleanliness, and maintenance, Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) inspections are required for public housing authorities, privately owned subsidized housing providers, and multifamily properties financed through HUD programs.

 

HD Supply supports your preparation efforts with the resources and products you need to avoid penalties and maintain safe, healthy living conditions for your residents.

Shop For Your Inspection

Mold and mildew are common deficiencies that can cause serious health issues for residents. Improving indoor air quality and ventilation can help prevent harmful mildew and mold buildup. Property owners count on HD Supply for air filters, exhaust fans, and HVAC products that help maintain a safe, clean environment. You can also use mildew stain removers and cleaners to combat odors and staining.

Bathroom inspections can result in point deductions from your score if your property has damaged or missing sinks, showers and tubs; leaking faucets or pipes; or broken GFCI receptacles. We offer a large selection of sinks and bathtubs that complement today's modern décors. You'll also find repair parts for leaky faucets, showerheads, and drains.

Be ready for your next inspection. Make sure ceilings and walls are in good condition. Patch and repair any damage, holes, or peeling paint. Check light switches, outlets, and GFCI receptacles to see that they are working properly, and replace missing wall plates. Take a look at your property's exteriors and fix any damage there as well.

HD Supply has reliable pest control products that can help deter or eliminate unwelcome visitors like ants, roaches, bedbugs, and mice. Even minor signs of these pests on your property could result in a lower inspection score.

Kitchen areas may be subject to point deductions if the inspector finds missing, damaged, or broken refrigerators; missing, damaged or broken oven/ranges; or nonworking GFCI receptacles. We stock a wide selection of top appliances brands, including ENERGY STAR® options. We also carry repair parts, range hoods and filters, and heating elements.

REAC inspectors want to know that your property is safe for residents and staff. If any doors and locks have been damaged by break-ins, vandalism, or repeated daily use, you risk losing points on your inspection. Most of our locksets, doors, moldings, door hardware, and window hardware products are in stock and ready to ship. We can also custom cut doors and window screens to the exact size you need, with fast turnaround times. Inspectors also check properties for fire safety. Replace any missing, damaged, or expired fire extinguishers. Working smoke alarms are a must. Upgrade to smoke alarms with a tamper-resistant, 10-year sealed battery for long-term security and less maintenance.
