Birmingham, AL Section 8 status?
We've had 3 properties in Birmingham, with qualified voucher tenants waiting weeks for housing authority inspections. One property has been waiting 8 weeks. Our property management company says (i) it's caused by Covid impacts to the housing authority (laid off staff, inspectors getting sick) and (ii) there's nothing they can do to try and accelerate the process or even inquire where in the queue we are. Our pre-Covid experience had been tenanted and rented properties in less than a month.
Are others experiencing similar delays?
Is there really no way to at least see where we are in the queue?
