Menin asks whether HPD has conducted a comprehensive financial review of all city-supervised Mitchell-Lamas and which developments face the most significant upcoming increases. Phillips says they regularly review financials but doesn't have specifics at hand.

Julie Menin

Okay, I'm going to ask the second question then.

Julie Menin

Has a comprehensive review of the financial condition of all city-supervised Mitchell-Lama developments, including which developments are currently experiencing

Julie Menin

financial stress or are projected to require the most significant rent increases within the next five years, been conducted?

Julie Menin

These are all from the letter.

Julie Menin

So, again, these are not new questions.

Julie Menin

These are ones that literally we've asked you all weeks ago, and we've received no response.

Adam Phillips

So we regularly work with the Mitchell Lama housing companies to review income and expenses, right?

Adam Phillips

So we regularly get income and expenses and audited financials and work with the companies to ensure that we can minimize rent or maintenance fee increases.

Julie Menin

So has there been a conference?

Julie Menin

Comprehensive review of the financial condition of all of the city-supervised Michelama developments?

Adam Phillips

We're regularly reviewing the financials of all city-supervised Michelamas.

Julie Menin

And, okay, can you share the results with these two committees?

Adam Phillips

For every single Mitchell Lama that's city supervised?

Julie Menin

Yeah, I mean, that's really what the, that's the point of the hearing is to look at the financial oversight.

Adam Phillips

I mean, I don't have that in front of me right now, unfortunately.

Julie Menin

That is basic information.

Julie Menin

I mean, we asked about this in the– I mean, I'm just surprised we sent this letter that the administration is not prepared to answer the questions that we asked about three weeks ago.

Adam Phillips

Yeah, unfortunately, I don't have that at my fingertips at the moment.

Julie Menin

So we would like to get that, and we want that in the coming days.

Julie Menin

So that's a confirmation that these two committees will get that information?

Adam Phillips

We will work our best to supply you with that information.

Adam Phillips

Okay.
