NSPIRE reaches all voucher inspections by Feb 1, 2027. Self-check each room, track repairs with photos, and walk in ready.
PassFirst helps Section 8 / Housing Choice Voucher landlords prepare a unit before an inspection. Walk room by room, record what looks OK, flag repairs, add photos, and keep follow-up details in one place.
ROOM-BY-ROOM SELF-CHECK
Create a property, add the unit, choose the inspection type, and work through the checklist at your own pace.
For each check, mark:
• Looks OK
• Needs repair
• Can't confirm
• N/A
When something needs attention, select the matching official HUD deficiency shown in the app, add notes, and attach photos. PassFirst keeps the finding connected to your repair list.
REPAIRS AND PHOTO EVIDENCE
Track each repair as Open, In progress, or Completed. Add before and after photos so you have a clear record of what changed.
Items are organized using the official severity information in the bundled NSPIRE reference data. PassFirst does not create its own inspection score or predict whether a unit will pass.
OFFICIAL NOTICES AND REINSPECTION
If your PHA sends an official notice, enter the notice details, cited items, responsibility, the deadline you were given, and the reinspection date.
Reminder notifications are created only from dates you confirm. A self-check finding by itself never creates an official deadline.
REPORTS AND EXPORTS
Create:
• Readiness reports
• Repair / evidence reports with before-and-after photos
• Notice-response packets
• Evidence ZIP files with records and photos
A limited report preview and plain-text repair-list sharing are free. Full document generation requires either a one-inspection document unlock or an active PassFirst Pro subscription.
The walkthrough, repair tracking, photos, official-notice tracking, and reminders remain available without a document purchase.
NSPIRE AND HQS
PassFirst's walkthrough uses HUD NSPIRE reference data for HCV inspections. If your housing authority is still using HQS or another approved method, follow the requirements in your PHA's notice and current guidance.
PRIVACY
Your property details, inspection records, notes, photos, repairs, notices, and generated documents are stored on your iPhone and are not uploaded as part of the inspection workflow. No account is required, and there is no third-party advertising or analytics SDK.
Settings can contact the developer's server to load More Apps and current support contact information. Those requests do not include your property or inspection records.
IMPORTANT
PassFirst is a self-check and organization tool. It is not an official HUD or PHA inspection, does not certify a property, and cannot guarantee an inspection result. Your PHA or its authorized inspector makes the official determination.
PassFirst is not affiliated with HUD or any public housing authority.
Built for iPhone and the United States.
