Subject: Seattered Site Properties “Attachment: Seatterdoex; Ms. Osanka: A Tt was @ pleasure speaking with you last week, Earlier this week, I toured the Scattered Site properties yith Kathy and our constriction menager. As always, the LMHA team has been extremely helpful to us in our management of these properties.A Over 40+ years, we have worked with many Housing Authorities, and I can say without reservation that the caliber and commitment of the LMHA staff is exemplary. A ‘As LMHA is aware after having self-managed the Scattered Site properties for 15+ years, this portfolio of roperties poses unique operating challenges end in this stage of their post-renovation life cycle, they require Immediate and comprehensive redevelopment.A Any comprehensive list of capital needs would require professional Capital Needs Assessment.A However, for your reference and review, I have giteched o brief summary of outstendina/atisl repels inthe Scsttered Site portfolio. Based on a review of financial capacity vs. physical needs, along with extended conversations with contractors and our intemal team, it has become obvious that the curent approach of plecemeal and partial renovation efforts does not adequately adéress the physical issues present, nor does It best serve fur residents. ‘as a result, we regretfully feel that it is necessary for us to resign our role as property manager so that LMA can take these properties in-house’ and allocate the financalA resources to make the Necessary physical improvements without unnecessary delay stemming from having an external party trying to hovigate the required procurement poliees,A To be cendid, we relish challenge and take immense pride in collaborating wellA with our public partners;A however, the current status of the Scattered Sito properties requires that we step aside so that LMHA can immediately focus on theA physicalA needs at these properties. A x We are providing the required official notification of our resignation, but 1 wanted to personally commit that we will continue to provide Input, help andA assistance to your LMHA team before, during and after our management term ends.A Our overarching goal remains to provide the highest management services and to help ensure the best possible standards for any resident living in affordable housing. ‘As always, we thank you for your support and ask that you please let us know what we can do to make ‘the transition seamless for LMHA and our residents Best Regards, Chuck Tint ‘The CT Group LLC 300 Mentgomery Street (aural, Maryland 20707 won.thectarouole.com (1) 249.554.6500, (F) 240.558.6450,Berrytown ~ AMP 34 (17 Units 1211-1215 Heafer Road): 8 units vacant; Remediation of recurring under slab leaks; move plumbing above slab Mold remediation, drywall replacement, paint (at least 8 units) Flooring replacement (at least 8 units) Appliance replacement (at least 8 units) Stair replacement (1 unit) Furnace replacement (1 unit) Furnace and ventilation system cleaned (all units) Parking lot asphalt repairs or overlay Dumpster enclosure replacements Mail station replacement Infill of areas where water intrusion has caused erosion, St, Martin - AMP 34 (26 units 807 East Gray): 4 units vacant; Roof evaluation for system upgrade or replacement (three large leaks in 21 months) First floor slant/weakness remediation of flooring; hallway and unit 101 (vacant) Parking lot asphatt repairs or overlay Elevator evaluation for system upgrade or replacement (a dozen+ system failures in 21, months; manufacturer of elevator system no longer in business) H.
