Understanding FHA & HUD Compliance Repairs

By Norwood Restoration Group · Published September 2025

FHA and HUD compliance repairs are required for properties financed through government-backed loans. Failure to complete them can delay or cancel closings.

1. Common FHA Repairs

Peeling paint, safety hazards, missing handrails, and broken windows often appear on inspection reports.

2. Timely Completion

Lenders typically require repairs to be completed before closing, so speed and accuracy matter.

3. Documentation

Photo documentation and contractor invoices provide proof for lenders and inspectors.

4. Why It Matters

Compliance repairs ensure homes are safe, livable, and meet lending standards — protecting both buyers and lenders.
