Council Member Sanchez inquires about the process of identifying properties for the 3rd Party Transfer program. Kim Darga from HPD explains that they coordinate with DEP and DoF to get information on properties owing taxes, relying on administrative data that is also shared with property owners.
- HPD uses the same information that is shared with property owners through their bills and accounts.
- Property owners can address any issues by reaching out to the agencies if they believe something is incorrect.
- HPD relies on this administrative data to determine eligibility for the program.

So department of finance and department of environmental protect protection periodically share a list of delinquent taxes, noting how properties can qualify as distressed in the existing round or the existing version of the 3rd party transfer program.

And the Department of Finance can remove properties.
1:18:14
So how often are properties removed during during the the sort of data integrity process that the the process that you you mentioned deputy commissioner Garuda is occurring before filings are well, documents are filed in court.

So we so we work.
1:18:33
We basically coordinate with DEP and DoF to get information on properties that owe taxes and how much they owe.
1:18:47
We are relying on administrative data, so it's the same information that is shared with property owners.
1:18:53
Right?
1:18:53
They're getting their their bills.
1:18:55
They can look at their account.
1:18:57
If they're think that something is incorrect, they can certainly reach out to the agencies and, you know, address those issues.
1:19:09
So we really rely on that administrative data to determine eligibility.
