So a couple of follow ups.

Bilad on your point about $33,000 spent in emergency repairs for for this building, It is infuriating these landlords that use the city as a piggy bank and have us make have the taxpayer conduct their repairs when that that funding when the city does it it's so much more expensive than when an owner does it.

We have to get intro ten sixty three through the finish line.
5:50:37
That is the revamp or the reform of the third party transfer, so that we can talk about taking these buildings away from from those bad actors and giving opportunities for tenant ownership and nonprofit mission driven ownership.
