Just really quickly and and and speaking of Redhook and that older adult center, We're in a current situation when NYCHA decided to pull out all the the the gates that were surrounding the center.
1:45:13
We have been on calls with the department of aging with DIFTA and and NYCHA.
1:45:18
And now we are in a ping pong because each agency thinks other is responsible for this capital that needs to be done.
