Council Member Avilés inquires about the process for voucher holders and apartment inspections in NYCHA properties. NYCHA officials explain the timeline and procedures for scheduling inspections and processing rental packets for Section 8 voucher holders.

  • The process typically takes about a month from completing the rental packet to final inspection
  • Inspections usually occur within 2-3 weeks of accepting the rental packet
  • NYCHA can expedite the process for certain cases, such as domestic violence (VAWA) cases
  • Tenants can contact the call center or visit walk-in centers for assistance with the process
