Section 8 Inspection - Fail

Like to know your experience or opinion.
Local Housing Authority has hired new inspection company. One of my property was failed for 4 missing window screens, 1 ungrounded 3-prong outlet and access to attic for inspection. This is 3-floor MFH, inspection was for the first floor unit. I have nothing against safe, livable and clean property.
But I don't think having screens in ALL windows is necessity or reason for them to access attic, this is not livable space, tenants have no access to it and none of my other inspectors in prior years ever had requested access to the attic? I'm planning to call HA and Inspection agency to get some clarification and maybe complain.

I know this can be easily corrected but where this stops? What's next?
Do you have any suggestions how I can reason screens and attic out?

Thank you.
