With the long absence from REAC Inspections it is difficult for inspectors to remember the rules and how they are applied, so it is vitally important that properties get refresher training to be abreast of REAC inspector’s knowledge. REAC requires its inspectors to perform 25 inspections/year, clearly that has not happened in the last year because of COVID. So, with Inspector’s knowledge rusty it is even more important that properties be alert to possible inspection mistakes.
Join this information packed webinar by REAC expert speaker Hank Vanderbeek and learn about all the newly issued REAC inspection Notices (procedures and rules) and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) that must be followed for REAC inspectors, property residents, and property owners.
Hank will discuss what properties will be targeted and how they will be targeted for an inspection, and what properties can do to postpone an inspection.
During the Webinar, Hank will also touch on the most recent training and guidance that REAC provided on electrical and other deficiencies REAC Inspectors are having the most trouble with per REAC Inspectors’ supervisors. Some of the misapplied defects include those related to electrical recorded in the wrong area and missing covers. He will also touch on broken window defects, and resident owned items.
How to prioritize work to maximize efficiency without jeopardizing a good inspection score. Knowing what defects to address is important in not wasting scare resources. This webinar will give the attendee the tools needed to perform well without spending a small fortune on repairs.
