3 SCORING

4 The Goal Assign a score to the overall property condition based on the data collected by the inspector – Measure physical condition – Objective & consistent – Accommodates all property types & configurations

5 The inspector records the existence and the severity of deficiencies according to preset criteria Scoring is Based on Objective Data

6 Relative importance (“weights”) were assigned to each physical area, item, and deficiency in the inspection protocol HUD applies the weights to the inspection data to compute the score The score is based on a 100 point scale The Scoring Approach

7 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 Protocol
