    (b) Initiation of compliance reviews. Even in the absence of a 

complaint or other information indicating noncompliance pursuant to 

paragraph (a), the civil rights/compliance reviewing office may conduct 

periodic compliance reviews throughout the life of the mortgage in the 

case of multi-family projects and throughout the duration of the Housing 

Assistance Payments Contract with the Department in the case of housing 

assisted under section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937, as 

amended, 42 U.S.C. 1437.
