Ceiling Height for Section 8
I am reading the HQS Inspection guidebook and it states on page 62 section 6.1
"Determine that three quarters (75%) of every bedroom has a floor-to-ceiling height of 7 feet or above. If room is larger than 70 square feet with at least 70 square feet of floor space, meets the minimum ceiling height requirement of 7 feet, then this provision is acceptable."
Then the next section under states that
"other rooms used for sleeping have no ceiling height or size requirement."
So here is my situation, In Chicago I have 2 bedrooms above grade, and 1 bedroom below grade. In the basement the floor-to-ceiling measurements are 6'10", 2" below the 7' minimum requirement. Will this be an issue with passing a CHA inspection?
