Our occupancy rate is 84%……
We finished the fiscal year 2024 audit field visit. The audit went very well. We are expecting minimum problems. This year we have cured just about all the findings from last year 2023. And Tim from Markum mentioned he wanted to come here and make a presentation regarding the audit, likely in May. We are hoping that the audit is early submittal at the end of May. It is due at the end of June, though during the audit we did find one of the issues are inactive – Tenant balance was just a little over $250,000 and we basically have to write that off. This has been accumulating since 2020. Much of it was from COVID because there were quite a few deaths and stuff during COVID there. Unfortunately, it’s quite a bit of money that we have to write off….
I mentioned in January the tenant relations would be focusing on our active tenant balances owed in January, we had a balance of $91,321.00 through February and up to current. We’re down to 36,742, which is good……
We are in the process of our tenant Commissioner election and it’s looking like we have people from each site that are running. ….
Capital projects – Miller’s Construction should be finishing the sewer problem at Unit 2 by the middle of this month.. Work has commenced at Building 7 with the sewer project, the three units that have been down for some time, it seems that will take a few months to complete and then they’re going to do, I believe, one unit at a time. We can, they can modernize it, and then we can run out. So that’ll be able to do the sewer line, the modernization unit by unit, and then we can run out and can run the upstairs units as well. So that’s a good probably 5 units hopefully in three months….
Hallway painting at Kingsboro should be completed soon. I think he’s finishing up the community room or he’s going to start the community room. He’s has two floors left to complete
