Section 8 inspection fail

[Shannon Staff]

Going forward with our very first section 8 tenant, but need some help. On the inspection checklist it states all modifications or adaptations of unit must meet applicable HQS and building codes. We purchased our unit with an non permitted room attached. It is not obviously apparent this is an add on room. Has anyone had experience not passing with this type of issue?

@Shannon Staff in my market the section 8 inspector was more concerned with windows that aren't cracked that could open and lock, a stove that works, testing carbon monoxide and smoke detectors.
