Cal. Civ. Code § 380.613
a)��������� Before the initial occupancy of a Project, the applicable Agency shall inspect the Project to determine whether the Project satisfies the Housing Quality Standards.� If the Project does not satisfy the Housing Quality Standards, the Agency shall not provide an Allocation for the Project until all deficiencies have been removed to the satisfaction of the Agency.
b)�������� During the period in which the Developer is receiving funding under the LTOS Program or, in the case of long-term financing, during the term of that long-term financing, the Project must continue to meet the Housing Quality Standards.� Agencies shall make annual inspections of the Units in each Project, as provided in Section 380.407.
c)�������� If an Agency determines that one or more Units do not satisfy the Housing Quality Standards, it shall give the Developer a period not to exceed 30 days in which to correct the deficiencies discovered in the inspection. However, if the deficiency is in an occupied Unit and poses a serious threat to the health and safety of the Tenant, the deficiency must be corrected within 72 hours. �Examples of conditions that are considered to pose a serious threat to the health and safety of the Tenant include, but are not limited to, the following:
1)�������� detection of propane, natural gas or methane gas;
2)�������� exposed electrical wires or open electrical panels;
3)�������� water leaks on or near electrical equipment;
4)�������� blocked emergency or fire exits;
5)�������� unusable fire escapes;
6)�������� blocked egress or ladders;
7)�������� any carbon monoxide hazard connected with, but not limited to, gas or oil-fired units or missing or misaligned chimneys; and
8)�������� any other conditions the Agency finds to be a health or safety threat.
d)�������� If the deficiency is not corrected within the 72-hour period, or the 30-day period if the Developer determines that the deficiencies are serious enough to merit relocation, the Developer shall use its best efforts to find a replacement Unit for the Tenant.� If a replacement Unit is found, the lease for the deficient Unit shall be terminated and the Tenant shall be relocated to the replacement Unit and shall enter into a new lease.

Section 380.613 of 47 Ill. Admin. Code pt. 380 establishes Housing Quality Standards that must be met before any project under the LTOS Program is occupied and must be maintained throughout the funding or financing period. Agencies are required to conduct annual inspections, and if deficiencies are found, developers generally have up to 30 days to correct them. However, conditions posing a serious threat to tenant health or safety — such as gas leaks, exposed wiring, or carbon monoxide hazards — must be remedied within 72 hours, and if they are not, the developer must seek a replacement unit for the affected tenant.

For Property Managers

Under § 380.613, operators participating in the LTOS Program should ensure that every project meets Housing Quality Standards before initial occupancy and remains in compliance throughout the funding or financing term. Compliant developers typically respond promptly to annual agency inspections, address standard deficiencies within the 30-day correction window, and treat conditions like gas leaks, exposed electrical wires, blocked fire exits, or carbon monoxide hazards as requiring immediate action within 72 hours. When a serious deficiency in an occupied unit cannot be corrected in time, compliant operators document their efforts to locate a suitable replacement unit and facilitate the tenant's relocation under a new lease.

For Tenants

Section 380.613 provides tenants in LTOS Program projects with protections tied to ongoing Housing Quality Standards, including the right to live in a unit that has passed an initial inspection and continues to meet standards through annual agency reviews. If a serious health or safety hazard — such as a gas leak, exposed electrical wiring, or a carbon monoxide risk — is identified in an occupied unit, the rule requires the developer to correct it within 72 hours or pursue relocation to a replacement unit. Tenants who believe their unit has unresolved deficiencies may consider contacting the applicable Agency that oversees their project, or reaching out to a tenant-rights organization for guidance on available options.
