Chair Hudson asks most common reasons units fail habitability inspections

What are the most common reasons that units fail habitability inspections?

I'll let the Executive Deputy Commissioner take that one.

I've got it, though.

I need it.

I do.

I have it.

Thank you for that question, Council Member.

I got you.

You're very welcome.

I've got it right here.

And you can feel free to jump in.

So the top reason, which happens about 40% of the time, are water temperature failures, followed by electric outlet deficiencies, missing apartment numbers.

Sorry, hold on, hold on.

Do you have the...

Corresponding percentages for each.

So 40% are water temp.

Yep.

How much for the...

And I'll give you the, if it's helpful, I'll give you the closer to exact.

So water temperature failures are about 41%.

Okay.

Electrical outlet deficiencies are 33%.

Missing or unlabeled apartment numbers is close to 19%.

Window guard and bracket violations are also close to 19%.

Refrigerator and freezer temperature failures, 18%.

Missing or defective GFCI outlets.

Sorry, sorry.

Fridge is 18 or 19?

18.

18.

And we can provide this to you.

Okay, great.

The missing or defective GFCI outlets are 17, closer to 18%.

Door self-closing failures.

17%.

Missing or outdated smoke or CO alarms are 13%.

If you'd like me to keep going.

So there are a number of other lesser occurring deficiencies, but those are some of the most significant.

If you could follow up with us with those, that would be really helpful.

Thank you.

And again, unless I'm incorrect, this is for the HRA inspections, but they seem like pretty common things that would happen in inspections regardless.

Yes.
