Subject: FOIA request for property TX006000037
Dear Patricia Campbell,
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act for federally subsidized housing inspection reports.
I request that a copy of these documents be provided to me:
The two most recent Real Estate Assessment Center inspection reports for the property with the ID: TX006000037, and ZIP code: 78207. This apartment may be known as SAN JUAN SQUARE I apartments, located in San Antonio, TEXAS.
I am an individual seeking information for personal use, and not commercial use. I request a waiver of all fees for this request. Disclosure of the requested information to me is in the public interest because it is likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of the operations or activities of the government and is not primarily in my commercial interest.
If there is a fee, please let me know about that before processing my request. Thank you for your consideration of this request.
Sincerely,
[your name]

Why Ask for Your Inspection Report?
If you’re a resident of HUD-subsidized housing: Renters living in HUD-subsidized housing have a legal right to safe, decent housing. If your landlord cannot or will not address unsafe conditions in your unit, you may be able to use some of the information contained in the report to request to be moved.
If you’re not a resident of HUD-subsidized housing: The quality of federally subsidized housing can also affect neighbors of such buildings, and even entire communities. You also can request the inspection reports.
Instructions
As a first step, you can ask the local management office where you pay your rent to provide you a copy of the inspection report. You can also use the templates below to file your request directly to HUD. A landlord will not be automatically alerted that the request was made, though records requests are themselves public records.
- If you have an email address: Use our email template. Copy and paste the text on this page into your email program or service and fill in your personal information.
- You could also copy and paste the letter into a word processing program or service and send it to your HUD regional office’s address in the mail.
- Another option is to send this request using HUD's portal: https://hudpal.efoia-host.com/
- Any issues? You can email us at [email protected] or call/text 347-244-2134
Be aware that these requests may take several weeks to fulfill. That doesn’t mean you should wait to report problems in the meantime, especially if they present immediate health hazards.

Note: This database contains all inspection reports made available to the public by HUD from 2013 to March 2019. If a property is inspected multiple times within a short time period, it is possible that HUD has not publicly released all of those inspection scores. Data for multifamily complexes only includes facilities with an active HUD contract. This demographic data comes from HUD’s website, but it was submitted by local housing authorities and property owners, and may not reflect the most current demographic makeup.
