    person, each unit shall be inspected by the applicant directly or by 
    another entity, including the local public housing agency, to 
    determine that the unit meets the housing quality standards under 
    section 1437f of this title and that the occupancy charge for the 
    dwelling unit is reasonable; and

    unit during the contract term.

(b) Prohibition

    No assistance may be provided for a dwelling unit (1) for which the

housing standards, unless the owner promptly corrects the deficiency and 
the recipient verifies the correction.
