Yeah, I mean what what's coming to mind for me is that through the City of Yes negotiations, there were to be 200 additional staff lines between HPD and DOB.

Earlier today we heard from HPD they have added 94 positions and then you have just mentioned 38.
3:57:05
And so there is the need at DOB.
3:57:07
There's a commitment that we have from the administration through negotiations around this other initiative.
3:57:13
So were you aware that there are other lines that have not been committed to or that have not been accounted for?

So our number, let's just be so we're on the same page, our total number is 83 lines.
