For more detailed information see the following <br />documents: <br /> Housing Choice Voucher Guidebook, Chapter 10. <br /> HUD Housing Inspection Manual for Section 8 Housing <br /> HUD Inspection Form, form HUD-52580 (3/01) and Inspection Checklist, form <br />HUD-52580-A (9/00) <br />Provided the minimum housing quality standards have been met, HUD permits the family to <br />determine whether the unit is acceptable with regard to the following characteristics. <br /> Sanitary Facilities. The family may determine the adequacy of the cosmetic condition and <br />quality of the sanitary facilities, including the size of the lavatory, tub, or shower; the <br />location of the sanitary facilities within the unit; and the adequacy of the water heater. <br /> Food Preparation and Refuse Disposal. The family selects size and type of equipment it <br />finds acceptable. When the family is responsible for supplying cooking appliances, the <br />family may choose to use a microwave oven in place of a conventional oven, stove, or range. <br />When the owner is responsible for providing cooking appliances, the owner may offer a <br />microwave oven in place of an oven, stove, or range only if other subsidized and <br />unsubsidized units on the premises are furnished with microwave ovens only. The adequacy <br />of the amount and type of storage space, the cosmetic conditions of all equipment, and the <br />size and location of the kitchen are all determined by the family. <br /> Space and Security. The family may determine the adequacy of room sizes and room <br />locations. The family is also responsible for deciding the acceptability of the type of door and <br />window locks. <br /> Energy conservation items. The family may determine whether the amount of insulation, <br />presence of absence of storm doors and windows and other energy conservation items are <br />acceptable. <br /> Illumination and Electricity. The family may determine whether the location and the number <br />of outlets and fixtures (over and above those required to meet HQS standards) are acceptable <br />or if the amount of electrical service is adequate for the use of appliances, computers, or <br />stereo equipment. <br />EXHIBIT 1
