Clear the re-inspection from the desk.
Montage gives repair evidence a standard form, so your inspectors spend their time on first inspections instead of return trips.
NSPIRE raises the workload. Your headcount stays the same.
Three pressures on an inspection team.
The second trip.
Every failed item has to be confirmed as fixed. Today that usually means driving back to the unit.
The date.
Housing Choice Voucher inspections move to NSPIRE on February 1, 2027.
The file.
When an owner disputes a finding, or a unit goes into abatement, the file has to show what was there and when.
What you get.
- Repair evidence
A standard form for proof of repair.
The owner or resident walks the repaired item with a phone. Your inspector receives a dated record in the same form every time.
- Desk review
Confirm the fix without the drive.
Your inspector reviews the record at the desk and clears or fails the item. The decision stays with your staff.
- Policy fit
Inside the rules you already have.
HUD's rules let an authority accept photos or other reliable evidence that a failed item was fixed. The authority names recorded evidence as an accepted method in its Administrative Plan.
- Your own properties
Ready before HUD arrives.
For public housing, staff walk units ahead of the inspection and for the annual self-inspection, and the record is kept on file.
- Unit history
A file that answers the dispute.
Every record is dated and kept with the unit, so the history is there when an owner or resident questions a finding.
- Compliance
You stay in charge.
HUD lets an authority use any inspection tool and keeps compliance with the authority. Montage supplies evidence. It does not make determinations.
Montage keeps a permanent, dated record of a unit's condition that no one can rewrite. We show how it works in a briefing.

Built for the real world.
People make the record.
A walk is done by a person who is already allowed in the unit, in plain view, at a time they choose.
Consent comes first.
Nothing is captured without the consent of the owner or resident responsible for the unit.
Terms in writing before work starts.
Who can see a record, how long it is kept and how it may be used are agreed up front. Read our approach.
