24 C.F.R. § 883.601
§ 883.601 Applicability. (24 CFR Part 883)
Operative Text
The provisions of this subpart apply to new construction and substantial rehabilitation projects using contract authority allocated under subpart B, Allocation and Assignment of Contract Authority, or processed and constructed under subpart D, Fast Track Procedures.
Section 883.601 establishes the scope of the subpart by defining which projects fall under its rules: specifically, new construction and substantial rehabilitation projects that either use contract authority allocated through the subpart B process or are processed and built under the subpart D Fast Track Procedures. The provision functions as a gateway clause, meaning the requirements that follow in this subpart apply only when a project meets one of these two qualifying conditions. Projects that do not involve new construction or substantial rehabilitation, or that were not processed through these specific channels, are not governed by this subpart.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and developers working with HUD-assisted new construction or substantial rehabilitation projects should confirm early in the development process whether their project's contract authority was allocated under subpart B or processed under subpart D Fast Track Procedures, since § 883.601 determines whether the remaining requirements of this subpart apply to them. Compliant operators generally document the procedural pathway their project followed so that applicable regulatory obligations can be identified and tracked from the outset. Understanding this threshold question helps ensure that all downstream compliance requirements tied to this subpart are properly addressed throughout the project lifecycle.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
For tenants living in HUD-assisted housing, § 883.601 is relevant because it defines which projects are subject to the protections and requirements contained in this subpart — namely those involving new construction or substantial rehabilitation funded through the subpart B or subpart D channels. If you believe your housing was developed under one of these pathways, the full set of this subpart's tenant-related protections may apply to your situation. Tenant-rights organizations and HUD's local field offices can help clarify whether a specific property was processed under these procedures and what rights may flow from that determination.
