For City of Yes, we received 38 positions and that breakdown is 23 inspectorial, eight technical, four administrative and three clerical for a total of 38.

Now we received 66 of the total 83 positions in fiscal year twenty six.

We're receiving the additional nine positions for basements which include inspectors and another technical by fiscal year twenty eight.
3:54:11
And for City of Yes, we're receiving the additional seven positions, inspectorio and an additional position on the technical side by fiscal year twenty eight.
3:54:21
I want to reiterate what the commissioner stated with respect to funding.
3:54:26
We believe we currently have the resources needed as it stands today.
3:54:32
However, we're closely monitoring our construction permit filings to ensure that if those numbers go up, we work actively with OMB and city hall to ensure that the agency has all the resources that we need.
3:54:47
This is something that you know to echo, we fought and you know and agreed that we thought we needed more.
3:54:54
We got what we received, but it's something that we will continue to actively monitor.
