New Jersey runs its own housing-code inspections (N.J.A.C. 5:10) on top of HUD's — and the state checks items HUD does not, on its own cycle, with its own re-inspection fees. A unit can be NSPIRE-ready and still fail the state. NJ managers: which state items catch your teams most, and how do you run one walk that serves both inspections?

Working in New Jersey teaches you humility fast: you can be completely ready for HUD and still get written by the state, because the state book has its own items, its own cycle, and its own re-inspection meter running. The practical answer most NJ teams land on is one walk built from the merged checklist — every item from both books, tagged by which book it came from. New Jersey managers — which state item burns your team most often, and do you run one combined walk or two separate ones?
