Occupancy is at 84%, same as last month. with 9 move INS and two move outs for the month of March. We are in the process of planning a Spring Block Party that is going to be held at Forest Hill sometime in May. I’m thinking like the second or third week in May and the office for the Aging is going to schedule transportation from Kingsboro Towers to Forest Hill Towers…..
All of our tenant receivables are written off. Thanks to Toni, who helped out…….
Our tenant Commissioner election results are in, we have Linda Hall and Sherry Coutrney….
Capital improvements or capital projects, the sewer line in building 1 – I sent out the e-mail. We do have a plan in place. I’m working with the field office for emergency funding. I’m applying for emergency funding for building 1-2 and. 6 because they all have the same sewer line issue now.
What is failing is what’s underneath and it stems back from when they built it. They put it on blocks. The blocks are sinking and then it didn’t help that they use scram, this pure acid for 30 years. We have to apply through the city, so I think I’m going to try and work on that next. I just don’t know the emergency funding takes at least 45 days to go through
Commissioner Anadio opened the floor for new business.
