The LACDA requires that assisted units are decent, safe, and sanitary in accordance with federal standards known as National Standards for the Physical Inspection of Real Estate (NSPIRE).

Note: All utilities must be turned on and the appliances must be installed and in proper working condition at the time of inspection.  The stove and refrigerator present at the time of inspection must be provided by the person (owner or tenant) stated on the lease.

If your unit was built before 1978 and your household includes one or more children under six years old, inspectors will conduct a Lead-Based Paint visual assessment to make sure that paint is maintained and does not pose a potential health hazard.
