The Goal Assign a score to the overall property condition based on the datacollected by the inspector • Measure physical condition • Objective & consistent • Accommodates all property types & configurations
Scoring is Based on Objective Data The inspector records the existence and the severity of deficiencies according to preset criteria
The Scoring Approach • Relative importance (“weights”) were assignedto each physical area, item, and deficiency in the inspection protocol • HUD applies the weightsto the inspection data to compute the score • The score is based on a 100 point scale
Scoring Protocol The weights were assigned as part of a consensus process: - Industry stakeholder input • Multifamily Housing (Owners / Agents) • Public Housing Authorities • Trade groups • PHA industry groups - HUD information - Trade professionals’ experience

Scoring Methodology Scores calculated based on: Area Pointsx Item Weight xCriticalityx Severity Ranges are: Area Points Site = 15 Bldg Systems = 20 Dwelling Units = 35 Bldg Ext = 15 Common Areas = 15 Item Weight(Examples) Smoke Detector = 0 Missing Toilet = 10 Damaged Ceiling = 4.5 Misalinged Chimney = 15.5 Criticality (5) Critical = 5.0 (2) Contributes = 1.25 (4) Very Important = 3.0 (1) Slight Contribution = 0.5 (3) Important = 2.25 Severity (3) Most Severe = 1.0 (2) Severe = 0.50 (1) Least Severe = 0.25
(Area Points x Item Weight x Criticality x Severity / # Units) 35 x 0.045x 3.0 x 1.0 = 4.725 / 24 = 0.20 (Item Weight x Criticality x Severity) 4.5x 3.0 x 1.0 = 13.5% Point Deduction Scoring Dwelling Unit: Living Room, Ceiling - Holes/Missing . . . - Level 3 *Assuming 250 Units (24 Sample Units)
(Item Weight x Criticality x Severity) 15.5x 5.0 x 1.0 = 77.5% (Area Points Item Weight x Criticality x Severity / # Buildings) 20 x 0.155x 5.0 x 1.0 = 15.5 / 5 = 3.10 Point Deduction Scoring Building Systems: Domestic Water, Misaligned Ventilation System - Level 3 * EH&S TICKET ITEM! * *Assuming 5 Buildings
Scoring Dwelling Units: Smoke Detector, Missing/Inoperable - Level 3 * EH&S TICKET ITEM! * (Item Weight x Criticality x Severity) 0x 5.0 x 1.0 = 0 no point deduction *Assuming 15 Units (10 Sample Units) (Area Points x Item Weight x Criticality x Severity / # Units) 35 x 0 x 5.0 x 1.0 = 0 / 10 =no point deduction
