Scores higher than 3% of Massachusetts’s 1,293 currently scored properties · state median 94

Under NSPIRE, a score below 60 is failing; 60–79 puts a property on a more frequent inspection cycle.

What this score sets in motion

A score of 74 passes, but on a tighter leash: HUD inspects below-80 properties roughly annually instead of every two to three years, so the next published score should arrive comparatively soon. How the score bands work.

Every published inspection

Scores as published by HUD. NSPIRE (2023–) and REAC (2000–2023) scores come from different standards and are not directly comparable.

HUD's published files sample the record: each snapshot carries a property's latest score at publication, so an inspection can be missing between snapshots, and no inspections conducted 2010–2012 appear in any file HUD still publishes. History here is assembled from every file HUD offers.

Inspection cadence

An inspection date a year or three back is normal: HUD inspects on a risk-based cycle, less often the better the last score, and this site reflects HUD's newest published file, refreshed weekly. How often HUD inspects

Where this came from

Scores come from HUD USER's physical inspection scores datasets (public housing and multifamily, 2000 to present). The numbers are HUD's, not ours. A score below 60 obligates HUD to act, but a low score alone does not prove current conditions — inspections can be years apart.
