Abstract: Under the Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS), public housing agencies (PHAs) may submit a request for a technical review, database adjustment or appeal. The granting of such a request would result in a PHA’s PHAS score and/or designation being changed, or a project’s physical condition, financial condition, or management operations score being changed. The right of appeal is statutory and the right to request a technical review or database adjustment is regulatory.

Short Statement: The proposed PHAS regulation at § 902.68 affords PHAs the opportunity to request a technical review of its physical condition inspection or, at § 902.24, a database adjustment if certain conditions are present. A technical review of the physical condition inspection may be requested if a PHA believes that an objectively verifiable and material error(s) occurred in the inspection of an individual property. A database adjustment may be requested by a PHA due to facts and circumstances affecting a project which are not reflected in the physical condition inspection or which are reflected inappropriately in the physical condition inspection.
