Okay and do you all have a partnership or interagency group that you meet with regularly for example with Department of Buildings as well as I could imagine Department for the Aging and other city agencies where you can go through some of the issues because I would imagine a lot of the buildings given how old they are, they may not be compliant.

Some of them are grandfathered which means they don't have to comply.

So I'm just curious to know if there is sort of an ongoing record keeping and tracking of how to handle some of those building developers that need to address some of these issues.
