We Okay. Can let me we uh we did 37 00:11:15.040 --> 00:11:31.360 the roof new roof and we uh we just coming here to uh I don't know what it is what we got to do anyway. >> Okay. Well, we have had an opportunity to to read the recommendation that came back from the rent leveling bureau. Uh 38 00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:47.920 so I think we all the commissioners have an opportunity to actually review the case. We just wanted to see if there were any particular concerns. >> I'm sorry. I I I'm not here really too good. Um, >> okay. >> Yeah, >> we have had an opportunity to actually review your case based upon the 39 00:11:47.920 --> 00:12:03.839 recommendations that had come back from the rent leving bureau. >> Okay. >> Um, so we have, I think, a pretty decent understanding of what the case is all about. We just didn't see if there was anything else. You always have an opportunity to speak. If there are any other concerns that you had or if anything else that you wish to share. Um 40 00:12:03.839 --> 00:12:21.040 if there is not then we can >> everything you know we should wait to get the uh whatever we got to do you know get the okay or whatever >> for the uh approve the uh >> the rent increase >> the rent increase for the tenants for the roof. >> Okay commissioners are there any 41 00:12:21.040 --> 00:12:44.560 questions >> that you have up the landlords? Um if not then um do uh well you know I absolutely am. We're gonna see if there's any tenants there. >> One question. >> Sure. >> Um so you did the roof and you renovated four apartments you said. >> No no no we did we did uh the whole 42 00:12:44.560 --> 00:12:59.360 roof. >> Did the whole roof? >> The whole roof. >> Okay. But nothing inside the apartments. I thought I heard you say that before. >> We did the four apartments but that was being t Oh, I'm sorry. That's being taken already. That's being set up already. >> Okay. >> Maybe about eight months ago. 43 00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:16.240 >> Okay. Just because I heard you say that when you walked up and I was confused being taken already everything be approved. Now we was waiting for the roof you know I don't know really what was going on but finally you know we have one time in a video call or whatever and uh I think it was postponed 44 00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:33.120 things like that. So now we just get another cancel one time and now we just get called to coming back here again. Okay. and we was waiting just to uh see if we can get the approve to increase the uh the tenants for the uh new roof. 45 00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:47.279 >> Okay, >> we already got the numbers because my daughter called to the see how much a percentage we had to split between the apartments according to the square feet and everything being set up already. Now we just waited to uh get best the 46 00:13:47.279 --> 00:14:06.000 increase for the tennis it actually I do have a question Mr. Last question. Um, about how long have you owned the property? >> How how long? >> Yeah. How long have >> I bought it? Oh my god. >> I think may No, I think before that. >> Okay. >> In the 80s, 80s something. 47 00:14:06.000 --> 00:14:20.720 >> Long time ago. >> I been on that propert long long long time ago. >> And personally, I just would also just commend you because I've had an opportunity to see quite a few cases. And it's good to see landlords document cases well. And in this instance, I do 48 00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:35.920 believe that you did um provide the things that are necessary to the rent leveling bureau. And so I thank you for your due diligence in that regard. >> Thank you. >> All right. I if there aren't any other questions, um I'm certainly we give the 49 00:14:35.920 --> 00:14:52.720 >> we have to wait for the for the notice. >> No, I don't still don't understand that. What else we got to do right now? >> Really? Absolutely nothing to be honest with you. that what we're going to do is make a decision tonight as to whether or not the rate increase that was submitted. 50 00:14:52.720 --> 00:15:08.959 >> Okay. >> Um >> we just we just wait uh it's going to be notify email or letter, right? So when we be able to get the increase or what >> you would be notified by the rent leveling bureau of the decision that's rented tonight and and and if you have 51 00:15:08.959 --> 00:15:24.240 any concerns or if you wish to appeal it or anything of that nature, you certainly will have that right as well. >> Okay. >> Okay. Thank you so much. >> That's it. Right. ready to go. >> Well, if you can certainly stay till the hearing's over. >> Thank you for everything. Okay. >> All right. >> You don't have to leave. You don't have to leave. If you want to stick around, 52 00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:41.920 you can stick around. Okay. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> Do we have any >> Well, actually, I'm just going to give if there's a tenant. I didn't know if there was a tenant, >> right? Is there a tenant 53 00:15:41.920 --> 00:16:02.120 present for this particular case? >> No. Nobody here. >> Okay. >> Correct. >> If not, >> would you like to hear from the from the hearing officer? >> Absolut. Oh, sure. Absolutely. Thank you. >> Okay. >> Hi. >> Yep. 54 00:16:04.800 --> 00:16:21.759 >> The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. >> I do. Um if I can just for the benefit of the two new board members just go over the process really quickly of uh what we do and how we got here for them. >> Um so once a landlord um submits an 55 00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:37.600 application to our office, we schedule an inspection of the work and to verify that the work was done, it was done properly and to evaluate the the amount of money they spent. We also inspect their entire building. So, if there are any violations in the building, they're 56 00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:54.480 required to correct those in order for that application to move forward. Part of the ordinance says that the building has to be in substantial compliance, which means that it's got to be in compliance with all the regulations of Jersey City. Um, if we find in uh anything wrong, we actually issue them 57 00:16:54.480 --> 00:17:12.240 violations. They then have 30 to 90 days uh 30, I'm sorry, 30 days to six months to correct those violations. Most landlords correct them as soon as possible because they want to move the process forward so that they can get the rent increase. Um once those have been 58 00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:28.400 corrected, we schedule a hearing. Uh the hearing is basically for the tenants to come and voice any concerns um anything that they want to put on the record. Uh the tenants are notified to e to put something in writing and then they're also notified the date and the time and 59 00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:44.799 place of the hearing. Um, in this particular instance, no tenants responded either by email or regular mail and no tenants applied uh came to the hearing. So when you get if you look through the report, there's literally like three sentences that the owner 60 00:17:44.799 --> 00:18:00.799 showed up, I was there and uh we waited a half hour and at that time the meeting was called because uh no one showed up. Um once the hearing has taken place then I make a recommendation which then comes 61 00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:18.480 to the board and that's where we are tonight. Um these the capital improvements are usually pretty straightforward. Um, you know, it's major things like roofs, uh, furnaces, uh, new windows, siding, things like 62 00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:35.120 that that are, you know, uh, contribute to, uh, the overall, um, length of the entire property. Um, it is, uh, depreciated over 10 years. And so that's, uh, whatever the dollar amount, in this 63 00:18:35.120 --> 00:18:51.840 case, I think like $26,000 was divided by 120 months. And then that's divided either by the number of units or the number of rooms. If all the apartments are the exact same size, it gets divided by the number of units. If they're not, then it gets divided by the number of 64 00:18:51.840 --> 00:19:08.160 rooms. And that's where we arrive at the dollar amount per month, in this case, per room, per apartment. Um, again, the this one was pretty simple one. Um, it was a roof. It was very it was well 65 00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:23.919 done. It was reasonably priced. Uh, for the size of the building, it's actually very affordable. The roof, I've seen them go as high as like 50,000 for the same size roof. Um, the work was done well. Um, this particular landlord, uh, 66 00:19:23.919 --> 00:19:40.080 Hamilton, uh, I'm sorry, Alexander, you had mentioned they did do four previous VCIs. That's what he was referring to. >> Okay. >> Um, so that's, uh, they did renovate four apartments last year. Um, I think that's it on my end. If you have 67 00:19:40.080 --> 00:19:55.280 any specific questions about the work or anything like that, >> just one question. It's four apartments. >> Are they all the same size? >> No. No. Um, no. This unit has eight apartments in total. Um, they all are 68 00:19:55.280 --> 00:20:11.919 except for one. So, the increases obviously um I think it was just one was one was a one-bedroom apartment. I think there I think the rest were the same size. with four vacant apartments, four occupied apartments. >> No, this this is for all eight 69 00:20:11.919 --> 00:20:28.480 apartments. Last year, because the owner had mentioned it, he as apartments became vacant, he applied for a vacancy capital improvement, which doesn't come before the board. >> That's handled by our office. The only time it comes before the board is if the 70 00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:45.200 landlord objected basically to our objection uh to our recommendation. Mhm. >> So those are handled internally again unless somebody objects to our findings. >> Mhm. >> But in general you consider the building to be well upkeep and >> Oh yes. Yeah. No. Yes. Definitely 71 00:20:45.200 --> 00:21:02.039 wellmaintained. It's the landlord that and you know what that's evidenced by nobody coming to complain. >> Um at the hearing if the landlord isn't a good landlord we have people show up >> and they would also show up here too tonight just to vote their concerns. 72 00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:18.320 I have a question about the depreciation period. What made like what determined the selection of five or 10 years? >> Um, basically five years is minor and 10 years is is major and it's anything that's supposed to have a a lifespan of 73 00:21:18.320 --> 00:21:34.000 of 10 years. So, a roof clearly a furnace siding. Um, we tend not to grant fiveyear ones >> just because um, you know, uh, you know, if you replaced uh toilets or 74 00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:49.919 something, that wouldn't be a minor capital improvement. It's, you know, that would fall into maybe it's going to get five years, but we don't classify it as a minor capital improvement. Most of them we depreciate over the 10 years. There's I can't even think of one that we've done for five. >> Okay. Thank you. 75 00:21:49.919 --> 00:22:27.480 >> Okay. >> Inspector Colleen over here. >> Oh, >> hi. >> I'm sorry. >> Just for the record, can you please go over your calculations? um specifically so it's in the record. Thank you. >> Okay. Yep. 76 00:22:52.080 --> 00:23:10.640 Okay, so the roof cost them $26,000. Um, you take that amount, you divide it by 120 months, and then because this apartment building, all the apartments weren't the same size, we took the number of rooms 77 00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:26.159 um and divided that into the amount uh that we had previously had, and that came out to $8.33 per room, an increase. So, for the one room apartments, it was 833, which I believe there's just one. Uh for the two 78 00:23:26.159 --> 00:23:41.440 room apartments it was $16.66. For three room apartments it was $24.99 and for four room apartments it was 3332. So if you look through your package that's the official increase. I think when the landlord calculated he just 79 00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:57.360 rounded off. So you'll see in his it's it's uh 25 >> it's 16 it's eight. We go by our calculation because we don't we don't round off. We just figure out the actual amount. So when he's notified, his numbers that he requested are going to 80 00:23:57.360 --> 00:24:12.159 be slightly different than what we're saying you can raise the rent by. In some cases, he rounded down, in some cases he rounded up. >> But for just so I'm clear, for the record, we're looking at $33.33 per room. 81 00:24:12.159 --> 00:24:29.200 >> No, eight $8.33 per room. >> Oh, okay. >> Okay. >> Per room. Okay. >> So depending on if it's a one room apartment, it's only$833. If it's a two room, it's 1666. Again, three room, it's $24.99. >> Okay. >> You know, again, if if all these were 82 00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:44.640 the exact same size, it would have just been a per apartment increase, >> you know, and they all would have been the same. >> All right. Any other questions, commissioners? >> No. >> I have a question about the summons, but 83 00:24:44.640 --> 00:25:00.880 I'm not sure if that's towards you. >> Sure. >> Um, I guess what I just wasn't sure how was that addressed and like why was that issued? Um, so it uh the landlord had issued the rent increase prior to the board making the 84 00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:17.600 determination. Um, once we sent them a notice that they couldn't do that, they refunded all the money to the tenants. And I just in defense of the landlord, I can understand why. With the vacancy capital improvements, >> once you submit the application, you're 85 00:25:17.600 --> 00:25:34.159 allowed to raise the rent. With those, you just run the risk if our determination is different than what you applied for. You then have to refund it >> to the um the the tenant because it wouldn't be fair for the landlord to have a v an apartment sitting vacant 5 86 00:25:34.159 --> 00:25:50.480 months, 6 months for us to make a determination. They'd be losing literally thousands of dollars. So, they understand they do Whoops. They run that risk. Again, if they put in for, you know, um $100 increase and we only found 75, then they'd be required to refund 87 00:25:50.480 --> 00:26:05.679 the $25 difference to the tenant. >> Um so I think they misunder the one application allows you to do that. The other one doesn't. As soon as we notified them, they did refund the money to all the tenants. >> Okay. All right. Thank you very much. >> Okay. 88 00:26:05.679 --> 00:26:21.520 >> So, is there any un readiness? If not, can I hear a motion? I make a motion.
