No. HUD will not reduce or eliminate its general requirements for job site inspections by HUD Inspectors. However, as noted in the answer to Question #18 in this section, HUD will accept the signature of the supervising architect alone as sufficient for draw requests when the HUD Inspector is unable to sign the request. HUD will only allow this flexibility for a single month, or for rehab loans that do not have monthly inspections, for a single reporting period. Additionally, the signature of the HUD Inspector is still required for the last or final request for disbursement. HUD will accept recorded virtual inspections if and when the parties are able use this option. (Added on 4/2/20)
