REAC: Top 25 Deficiencies

REAC: Top 25 Deficiencies

It is always good to note that preparing for a REAC inspection is important. If you are not having a REAC inspection this year, you might want to complete your own mock mini-REAC inspection with your staff. It helps to keep you in the know and on your toes.

REAC has published a list of the Top 25 Findings that have been reported. It is important to note that these were the results of calculations in July, 2012.

It is interesting to see that nineteen of the findings dealt with the units, three were exterior and three were health and safety.
The top 5:

Rank Area Item Deficiency # Rec.
1 Units Doors Damaged Hardware/Locks 81,616
2 Units Kitchen Refrigerator –Missing/Damaged/Inoperable 51,006

4 Units Bathroom Lavatory Sink – Damaged/Missing 25,199
5 Units Walls Missing Pieces/Holes/Spalling* 23,486
