These repairs on a per unit basis, as you mentioned, they are more expensive.

Does HPD have planned any additional outreach, any extra resources, special resources to reach these smaller properties?

We definitely there's a regular outreach that the agency does through our office anywhere whose strategies and to some degree through our enforcement teams.
1:27:27
As well.
1:27:29
And we will absolutely continue that work.
1:27:31
The resource fairs, the property education clinics, etcetera, and attending events.
1:27:38
I think we are certainly open to discussion if we think there's other ways that we can get the word out.
1:27:44
I would say, in addition to all of that, we're in the case, again, the fact that, like, j51 also helps with decarbonization.
1:27:54
We are trying to think about other ways that we can get to owners that may not just be through HPD and through you know, housing quality related issues, and so trying to figure out how we could use the accelerator potentially as well.
