This intensive 4-hour webinar provides an in-depth examination of NSPIRE’s Inside and Unit deficiencies, highlighting key areas of concern and best practices for successful inspection preparation.

The first half of the webinar covers Part 1 of NSPIRE’s Inside and Unit deficiencies, emphasizing the critical importance of maintaining compliance to avoid losing significant points in the Unit inspectable area.

• Infestation Issues – Recognizing and mitigating pest infestations (e.g., rodents, cockroaches, bedbugs)
• Mold and Moisture Control – Identifying, preventing, and remediating mold-related deficiencies
• Lead-Based Paint Hazards – Ensuring compliance with lead-based paint regulations and best practices for remediation
