500 BUILDINGS ON
NO No. 6 FUEL OIL LIST
Starting in July 2012 the City of New York will not be renewing any triennial number 6 permits when they are due for renew. The City would like those buildings to switch to natural gas. In an effort to encourage this switch, the City has accumulated a list of 500 buildings that, at very little cost or no cost to the utility, can hook up to natural gas.
Is your building on this list?

Over the past several years HUD's New York Multifamily Hub and NYAHMA have
been working together to improve conditions for Owners and Managers and the
New York HUD Office. NYAHMA gives insight to HUD of the concerns of Owners
and Managers. I think the partnership has been working. Lately, HUD has
issued many notifications and other important information. The HUD local
Office gets frustrated when their information is returned. HUD would like to
communicate this important information by email which is the way the world
works now. So in a sprit of cooperation NYAHMA is asking all its members and
non-members to update their Active Partners Performance System (APPS)
profile to include an email address. Unfortunately, this is the only
vehicle that HUD can work through to forward you important information. As
an Owner and/or Manager HUD would like you to be informed with any
information that HUD is sending out. This is especially true if there is a
transfer of ownership or change in management agent. Please let HUD work for
you more efficiently and review your APPS profile to make the necessary
updates. This should be a matter of routine.
Thanking you in advance

HUD’s plan to base FMR’s on area zip codes as opposed to area wide jurisdiction will seriously hurt owners and managers with Section 8 Housing Vouchers as in most areas of New York City where affordable housing is located the Payment Standard will decrease. If HUD is allowed to proceed with this initiative Project Based Section 8 Contracts will be HUD’s next target. As you know if the TRA proposal is enacted and Section 8 Programs are all turned into Project Based Vouchers our project rents could also be reduced.
