Passing the inspection is a major checkpoint, but it is not the same thing as final move-in authorization. NYCHA still has lease-up and HAP steps to complete.
NYCHA's owner guide says that once required documents are approved and the unit passes inspection, the tenant receives a conditional move-in letter and the owner receives a copy of the HAP contract.
NYCHA explicitly says the conditional move-in letter does not allow the tenant to move into the unit.
The owner guide says the signed HAP contract must be returned within 15 calendar days.
The final move-in letter is issued after NYCHA receives the HAP contract and lease from the owner and countersigns the HAP contract.
NYCHA says owners must receive authorization before issuing keys to the voucher holder.
Case Tracker Pro gives an active lease-up one place for inspection, HAP, follow-up dates and next actions.
