Pierina Ana Sanchez

Thank you.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

What explains the five-year increase in the mayor's management reports, high-risk rental and cooperative indicators that are showing that we're moving in the wrong direction in terms of the physical stock in these properties?

Adam Phillips

Sorry, can you repeat the question?

Pierina Ana Sanchez

Actually,

Pierina Ana Sanchez

So in the mayor's management report, there's been a five-year increase with respect to HPD's management of high-risk rentals and co-ops.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

What explains that?

Adam Phillips

Are these Mitchell Llamas specifically or rent-stabilized stock?

Pierina Ana Sanchez

No, it is broader than Mitchell Llamas, but includes Mitchell Llamas.

Adam Phillips

So for any distressed portfolio or any distressed building, we will work with the owner to ensure that they can put together a loan application and enter our pipeline for a preservation outcome.

Pierina Ana Sanchez

Thank you.
