AI summary — grounded in the notice text

This HUD notice requests public comment on three revisions to the NSPIRE Scoring Notice: a revised compliance date for new affirmative requirements, a correction to the unit sample size table, and corrections to calculation examples. Beginning October 1, 2026, deficiencies under the new affirmative requirements (such as fire-labeled doors, GFCI outlets, guardrails, HVAC, and lighting) will count in a property's inspection score for Public Housing and Multifamily Housing. PHA staff should submit comments by November 30, 2026, and review the corrected Table 9 sample sizes and example calculations.
