Over zealous section 8 inspector

[Laurence K.]

I have a house in Toledo, Ohio that I’m trying to get over the line with section 8 inspection.

My contractor (who I know and trust) did significant work to ensure the house was up to code.

The first scheduled inspection was cancelled by the inspector stating there were too many deficiencies, I endeavoured to reach out for details of the deficiencies but was met with silence and unable to get any info.

The second inspection came back with a list of 18 items, some of which I consider petty, such as a small groundhog hole in the backyard.

She is also asking for “Front attic window area and front fence needs a full house lead clearance examination by a licensed lead inspector “. This house HAS A CURRENT lead safe certificate issued by the Toledo Health Department. Is that demand even legal?

Rent to a market rate tenant. S8 in Toledo is not worth the trouble. Terrible communication.
