Inspection Updates

Beginning October 1st, 2025, Milwaukee County Housing services is transitioning from Housing Quality Standards (HQS) to NSPIRE. As part of this change, we want to highlight a major update for all housing providers. A smoke detector installed outside of a sleeping room within 6 feet of the bedroom, will no longer be acceptable during inspection. The new standards require that all sleeping rooms must have a 10-year sealed battery smoke detector installed. This is in addition to already required smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
