Acting Commissioner Ahmed Tigani introduces a proposal for an owner resource center to provide support and assistance to property owners who want to improve their buildings but may lack technical expertise or resources.
- The owner resource center would be similar to the existing homeowner help desk
- It aims to assist owners caught in enforcement programs who want to repair their buildings and provide habitable living conditions
- The resource center would complement existing programs for one-to-four family homeowners
- This initiative is intended to make the TPT program more equitable and provide support to well-intentioned property owners
