1:59:33
Mhmm.
1:59:35
And and when you're coming to that meeting, would love to see the list of buildings in my district.
1:59:39
I I represent the Fortieth Council District to have all of these buildings that are in the AEP program to see where they are so we can do an assessment.
1:59:49
There should be a assess a needs assessment assessment.
1:59:52
Have they met the the threshold?
1:59:53
Have they not?
1:59:54
And what do we do moving forward?
1:59:56
Right?
1:59:56
We don't just throw money at programs, and they don't work.
1:59:59
And I I think AEP is one of them.
2:00:01
I'm sorry.
2:00:02
For me, from what I've seen since I've been a council member almost four years, buildings in AEP are not moving is the intention is there.
2:00:10
The great idea is there, but I don't see it moving in the direction that it should be moving.
2:00:15
So for DOB.
2:00:18
Right?
2:00:18
DOB is here yet?
2:00:19
They haven't arrived.
2:00:20
Okay.
2:00:20
So I'll be waiting for them.
2:00:22
So in the level of fine adequate to get landlords of the building in the AP program into compliance in a timely way, is that how do you get how does that work?
2:00:31
Tell Yeah.
