Thank you.
1:09:17
Now I wanna move on to, RADPAC.
1:09:21
Particularly, and I think this, these these, or this line of questions can be answered by either, but I guess it'll be more for the authority.
1:09:33
We've heard previously that the division of responsibility for repairs between NYCHA and New York City, aging, at a hearing, I believe, before, hearing before the aging committee back on April 2024, The New York City Aging Commissioner Vasquez testified that New York City's aging policy is to incorporate, the same division of responsibility into the licensing licensing agreements for the Rad Pac man man managers when facilities were converted.
1:10:08
Is this still, the New York City Department For Aging's policy with regards to the OACs and and the facilities that are converted to Rad Pack?
Ukah Busgith
1:10:18
Yes.
1:10:18
I'm happy to report we work with aging to finalize an an agreement that can be used for all,
Chris Banks
1:10:26
That's been okay.
Ukah Busgith
1:10:27

1:10:27
It's been finalized and it's in place.
1:10:29
Right?
1:10:29
Right.
1:10:31
So any pack any converted site will sign this agreement delineating who's responsible for, repairs in the in the in the older adult centers.

When it comes to, the older adult centers, who, provide provide us submit tickets, to RADPAC managers, does NYCHA track the status of the ticket or conduct any follow-up to ensure that these issues are resolved?
