Landlords, property managers, and other industry players lobbied against some of the safety standards that HUD initially proposed, arguing they would be too expensive to implement. They warned strict requirements could drive away Section 8 landlords & reduce the housing supply.

A few months after Biden took office, HUD rolled back these proposed safety rules — though they denied it was because of industry pressure. The move caught tenant advocates off-guard. None heard about the changes — which are buried in technical documents —until I reached out.

The changes are part of a broader overhaul — started under Trump, continued under Biden—to HUD's inspection system. HUD has long been criticized for failing to detect/fix dangerous and abject living conditions in public housing. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/under-ben-carson-more-families-live-hud-housing-fails-health-n935421 …https://www.nbcnews.com/carbon-monoxide-hud …

The Biden admin stressed the new inspection standards haven't been finalized—HUD is still accepting public feedback on them: https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/public_indian_housing/reac/nspire/standards … HUD has already promised to make one change—to prohibit fire doors from being propped open—in response to one of my questions.

As a retired firefighter this makes me really sad and I hate to say it but it is tragic. I watched safety improve over my career and now it’s going backwards. This type of housing is where they need safety the most.

Fire safety codes are written to save lives and are pretty conservative. It's heartbreaking we continue to put profits over human lives.
