cont’d from cover
Indeed, according to the report, there are over 169,000
city-subsidized rental apartments that may move from
affordable rents to unregulated market rates over the
next two decades.
As these limited affordability terms expire, beginning in
just a few years, a tremendous investment of public re-
sources is lost to the next generation of low- and moder-
ate-income New Yorkers, requiring the city essentially to
recreate the same limited affordable housing stock time
and again. This is signifcant policy failing of the Bloom-
berg Administration and one that will harm thousands of
working class New Yorkers for years to come.
“There is now a window of opportunity for New York to
commit to a permanent affordability policy,” said Ben-
jamin Dulchin, ANHD’s Executive Director. “The lack of
private fnancing and a softer real estate market have
increased private developers’ appetites to do affordable
projects, and increased their receptivity to longer afford-
ability terms and a return driven by fees, rather than the
properties’ residual value.
Going After slumlords: Nonprofit to launch
grading system for 58,000 apt. buildings
By Daniel Beekman | The Daily News
A nonproft is ready to expose the city’s worst tene-
ments and debt-ridden landlords. The University
Neigh-borhood Housing Program will soon rank the
physical and fnancial health of every large apartment
building in the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens and Brook-
lyn — all 58,000 of them.
“In the Bronx, we had a lot of buildings in distress,”
said Greg Lobo Jost, the nonproft’s deputy director.
“We needed a formula to capture those buildings on
paper.”
UNHP plans to share the rankings with community
and tenant groups such as West Bronx Housing, Fifth
Avenue Committee in Park Slope and Margert Com-
munity Corp. in Far Rockaway, as well as the banks
that lend to landlords.
“We’ll be able to cut to the chase and know whether
or not a building has problems,” said tenant-landlord
referee Sally Dunford of West Bronx Housing.
To rank the buildings, UNHP has created a database
that culls information on each building from the city’s
records and spits out a score. The scores are based
on housing code violations and mortgage payments,
plus water, sewer and tax liens.
“On the government side,” Dulchin said, “the current
budget shortfalls facing the city and state warrant inno-
vative thinking about the best use of public resources.”
ANHD is calling on Mayor Bloomberg to maximize the
city’s return on investment in affordable housing by insti-
tuting permanent and long-term affordability measures
similar to those already in place in several major cities
across the country. The city should also rely more signif-
cantly on Community Development Corporations, non-
profts that have developed and managed over 100,000
affordable apartments over the past 20 years.
“These apartments are permanently affordable be-
cause the CDCs’ prime mission is to maintain affordabil-
ity for the beneft of low- and moderate-income families,”
said Dulchin. “Utilizing the ability of CDCs to lock in this
affordability permanently means making real progress
in creating more affordable housing in the city instead of
continually treading water.”
Buildings that score 800 or more will be considered
“distressed.”The rundown Bronx building where ten-
ants recently sued for a new manager — 2710 Bain-
bridge Ave. — would score a ghastly 6,800, said lobo
Jost.
He expects the building to rank as one of the city’s fve
worst when UNHP launches the database this month.
The database is the frst of its kind and is for building-
swith six or more apartments.
Based in Bedford Park, the Bronx, UNHP helps ten-
ants and affordable housing developers buy and re-
hab private apartment buildings. It has collected data
on buildings since 2003, when the city began to post
more records online.
Back then, the real estate bubble had yet to burst and
apartment buildings were selling to predatory equity
frms for outrageous sums. UNHP feared that the new
landlords would fall behind on mortgage payments
and repairs if the bubble were to burst.That bubble
did burst and left buildings like 2710 Bain-bridge in
bad shape. lobo Jost hopes that UNHP’s citywide da-
tabase will help community and tenant groups catch
buildings before they fall into disrepair or foreclosure.
“We want to highlight distressed buildings and nip
problems in the bud — for the sake of tenants and
lenders,” he said. Full Article: http://www.unhp.org/pdf/

Group Fears Lower Rents Will Expire, cutting Gains
By CARA BUCKLEY ASSOCIATION FOR
NEIGHBORHOOD
AND HOUSING

As featured in The New York Times

DEVELOPMENT, INC.

Nearly 170,000 city-subsidized

The Bloomberg administration made a proud an- rental units are at risk of losing
nouncement earlier this week: It had reached the their rent caps by 2037.
100,000 mark in its ambitious plan to create or pre-
serve 165,000 units of moderate- and low-income
housing by 2014. click here

But according to tenants’ advocates, the city stands

to lose an even greater number of similar units in the
coming decades, erasing the gains, because the rent
caps on those units will expire.
In a report [issued last Friday] the Association for Neigh-
borhood and Housing Development, a nonprofitgroup
that represents middle- and low-income-tenant groups,
found that nearly 170,000 city-subsidized rental units
are at risk of losing their rent caps by 2037.
That figure represents roughly two-thirds of city-subs-
dized rental housing created between 1987 and 2007,
the report said. According to the association, the rent
caps generally expire after 30 years, after which land-
lords can charge market rates.
“The mayor is saying they’re making impressive gains;
however, by 2037, an equal number of units will have
washed away because of their lack of foresight,” said
Benjamin Dulchin, executive director of the housing
association. “this really needs to be fixed.
The report’s authors said there was a clear way to en-
sure that city-subsidized housing remained affordable.
New York’s housing department should copy other cit-
ies, they said, and lengthen by several decades the
requirements that keep costs down, creating housing
that stays affordable for much longer.
The report cites Boston and San Francisco, where it
said that affordability requirements for such city-spon-
sored units start at 50 years.
But Rafael E. Cestero, the commissioner of the De-
partment of Housing Preservation and Development,
said that the increased complexity and volume of build-
ing in New York made comparisons with Boston and
San Francisco unfair. “We produce 10 times the afford-
able housing a year that they do,” Mr. Cestero said.
Still, Mr. Cestero said his department had begun look-
ing for ways to increase the duration of affordability
terms, a change that he said would require the back-
ing of the State legislature.
By law, the city can issue low-interest loans for up to
only 30 years, he said, which in turn place limits on the
duration of rent caps that keep the units afford-able.
He said the report’s estimates of the number of apart-
ments where caps would end were overstated, be-
cause the city generally issued balloon mortgages that
were rarely repaid at the end of their 30-year terms. At
that time, the city can restructure the devel-opers’ debt,
he said, in exchange for mandating that the units stay
affordable.

Investigation Widens in New York Asbestos
Inspection Fraud Case
Caymanmama.com
New York, NY - Stunning admissions by a New York
City safety inspector who faked hundreds of critical as-
bestos tests have spurred prosecutors to broaden their
investigation into the scheme, which is now believed
to have operated for at least a decade and involved
hundreds of buildings.
Saverio “Sam” Todaro, owner of SAF Environmental
Corp. of Queens, pleaded guilty March 26 to 11 felony
counts-including mail fraud, making false statements,
and violating the federal Toxic Substances Control Act.
Todaro, who is free on bail, faces a sentence of be-
tween 51 and 63 months.
“Todaro’s guilty plea is not the end of the story,” said
the Manhattan U.S. attorney, Preet Bharara. “This in-
vestigation is very much ongoing.”
Todaro submitted clean asbestos or lead test results
for well over 200 New York buildings and apartments,
including some that were demolished or renovated
to make way for publicly financed projects under the
city’s affordable-housing program. Indeed, there are so
many potential victims of the fraud, that the Manhat-
tan U.S. attorney’s office has created a separate Web
page to meet its notification obligation.

White flight? Suburbs lose young whites to cities
By HOPE YEN (AP)
WASHINGTON — White flight? In a reversal, Amer-
ica’s suburbs are now more likely to be home to mi-
norities, the poor and a rapidly growing older popula-
tion as many younger, educated whites move to cities
for jobs and shorter commutes.
Even more disturbing: Those 200 cases are thought to
be only the beginning. “It’s the tip of the iceberg,” said
one official briefed on the matter. “We just don’t know
how big the iceberg is.”
Federal and city officials have not made public the pre-
cise number and location of the buildings involved. In
at least a dozen instances, the buildings involved have
been demolished and replaced with others, or gutted
and renovated, so it is impossible in those cases to
know if proper testing would have revealed potentially
dangerous levels of asbestos-and whether residents
and workers were ever put at risk for lung cancer, me-
sothelioma, and other asbestos-related diseases.
As a result of the fraud, New York’s Department of
Environmental Protection (D.E.P.) intends to increase
its audits of lead and asbestos testing, according to a
spokesperson for Mayor Michael Bloomberg. With just
15 inspectors on its staff, the agency currently audits
a small fraction of the roughly 28,400 projects that
contractors like Todaro certify as safe each year. The
agency says it has suspended nine asbestos investiga-
tors and revoked the licenses of seven in the last 10
years.

Research on Foreclosures and Crime deadline: june 1

National Institute of Justice (NIJ) seeks to fund research proposals that explore and explain the links between place and
crime in the specific context of the recent wave of residential property foreclosures. In this context, proposals may address
either short-term or long-term patterns linking place and crime. Applications proposing research should explain how the
proposed project will fill a critical gap in the field’s knowledge and practice as well as identifying policy implications related
to criminal justice.

Between 1970 and 2000, the home foreclosure rate in the United States did not rise above 1.1 percent. Between 2001
and 2006, the foreclosure rate increased to as high as 20 percent. This abrupt shift in the 30-year pattern of foreclosures
led researchers and policymakers alike to question the effects of this issue on urban problems, including crime. This solici-
tation seeks research proposals to examine the links between foreclosures, vacant properties, and crime.

H0260 - Counseling Borrowers to Purchase Real Estate Owned (REO) Properties

“In today’s real estate market borrowers who are interested in purchasing a home will likely
consider the growing inventory of Real Estate Owned (REO) property. These properties
may offer attractive pricing, but also present hidden challenges and pitfalls to potential buy-
ers. Homeownership counselors, providing comprehensive individual counseling, can equip
clients with timely information to make informed decisions and protect their future asset.
Participants attending this course will learn:

Who is selling these properties (from nonprofits, municipalities, banks, etc.); How to assist
your client through careful analysis of the sales contract; How to engage home inspectors
and avoid the pitfalls of purchasing “”as is”” properties; How to determine if special financing
may be available for clients purchasing REO properties.; What are the counseling program
details of HUD’s Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP), and how to determine if this
program can help meet the needs of your clients.”

H0104 - Understanding Credit Scoring

Most lenders utilize credit scoring as a tool to help evaluate the credit risk of borrowers. This
is certainly the case with many mortgage lenders. Credit scores aid lenders in predicting how
creditworthy a borrower is or how likely they are to repay the debt. Many lenders also incor-
porate risk based pricing into their credit decisions based upon the credit score. With this
knowledge, homeownership educators and counselors are better prepared to help clients
improve their credit scores and positively impact their financial status.

Wednesday – Friday, May 19 – 21, 2010

H0108 – Loan Servicing and Collections

This course will review the policies, procedures and accounting systems that nonprofit lend-
ers and servicers must use to maintain their mortgage loan portfolios and prevent losses.
You will examine effective documentation systems and learn practical techniques for con-
trolling risks and avoiding default and foreclosure. Conventional and FHA default and loss
