Criteria: Pursuant to the Regulatory Agreement, the Property is to be maintained in good repair and condition and considered decent, safe, and sanitary. Management is to conduct routine unit and general property inspections and deficiencies should be corrected.

Management should continue to conduct routine unit and general property inspections and deficiencies should be corrected in a timely manner. Management should ensure all necessary repairs have been made.
Management's response: Management concurs with the finding and agrees with the auditor's recommendation. Management has responded to HUD in regards to this inspection report and has addressed all exigent health and safety issues. Management will continue to correct all remaining deficiencies noted and will implement a process of self-inspection of units and common areas. Management expects that a new physical inspection will be completed in 2025.
