NSPIRE Unit Self-Inspection

Built around HUD's NSPIRE standards: alarms, electrical hazards, exits, water heaters, leaks and pests. Try the preview — it works like the real thing.

How teams use it

  • Print a QR code for each unit or building. Maintenance scans and fills it — no app, no login.
  • Schedule it monthly with a due date and email reminders.
  • Failed items ask for a note and a photo, so every deficiency comes with proof.
  • Edit anything: add your own items, remove what doesn't apply.

Based on HUD's NSPIRE standards (hud.gov/reac/nspire-standards). A self-inspection doesn't replace your housing agency's inspection.
