I was I'm really hopeful that we can utilize J51 to help as much as possible with buildings that are struggling to comply with local law 97.

And broadly, I feel like the administration has not done enough to make financial incentives available to buildings that want to comply with local on 97, and I feel like J51 should be a real opportunity for us to do so.

So maybe just broad strokes, could you lay out how you believe J51 should could help.

Buildings comply with local 197, and then I'd like to talk to you about some ways to where I think we could and should go further.
