SUMMARY:Bed Bugs Really Do Bite NEAHMA Webinar
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nPresenter: Frank Flynn\, Flynn Law Group \nHow do bed bug infestations occur? Whose duty is it to exterminate? Bed bugs are small parasites that are approximately ¼ inch in length\, vary in color\, and feed upon the blood of warm blooded animals\, including humans. Typically they’re found in beds\, couches\, and other furniture where they lie dormant until their victims are asleep. Many landlords wonder what they need to do when a tenant reports bed bugs in their apartment. It is important to take the right type of aggressive actions to promptly address bed bugs or the problem could get worse and become much more difficult to control. In this seminar Attorney Frank Flynn will discuss what bed bugs are\, what a landlord’s legal responsibilities are when faced with bed bugs in an apartment\, what a tenant’s legal responsibilities are when bed bugs are found in their apartment\, and how a landlord should properly respond to a report of bed bugs.

SUMMARY:LIHTC File Audit-Hartford\, CT
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nTrainer: Debbie Piltch\, Piltch Associates\nIMPORTANT Requirement: Please bring a sample tenant file and calculator with you.\nPlease remember to remove any personal date from the sample tenant file. \nThe course will begin with an overview of the timing of a monitoring agency’s tax credit file audit\, the information they will be looking to confirm in the files\, the information monitors will request prior to the audit. We will also discuss how to review standard documents contained in a file to make sure there are no errors\, how to correct non-compliance and the type of information the monitor will request of the site prior to coming and/or on the day of the site visit. We will then review a mock file to go over the types of errors a monitor may find in a file and provide participants an opportunity to self-monitor the file(s) they bring. Please make sure that the sample file you bring has no confidential information (i\,e\, social security numbers\, bank numbers….) pertaining to the household.\nEmphasis will be placed on issues that monitoring agencies often focus on\, including incomplete applications\, recertification updates\, inadequate child support documentation\, inaccurate income calculations\, inconsistencies within a verification\, failure to maximize anticipated income\, late verifications and TICs signed after leases.

SUMMARY:REAC Industry Standard Repair Update NEAHMA Webinar
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \n1:00 PM Eastern Standard Time  \nTrainer: Scott Precourt\, U.S Housing Consultants \nThe new requirement outlines that repairs that are deemed to be outside of “industry standard” will be cited as the closest relative UPCS deficiency. For example\, if a hole in a wall is not repaired correctly\, it will be cited as a “hole”\, and the severity will depend on the size of the inappropriate repair. The same principle applies to all areas of a property. \nDuring this webinar we will cover:\n• A review of the HUD Inspector notice and what it covers\n• How this notice affects inspections and your preparation for inspections\n• How it impacts REAC Appeals and what documentation will be required for appeals with the new requirements\n• Examples of deficiencies that are now part of the UPCS Inspection code with the introduction of these new requirements.\nThe new requirements outlined in this HUD Inspector’s notice add a new element of subjectivity that has not been part of the UPCS Inspection code previously. The fundamental underlying concept of the UPCS Inspection code used by REAC has been its objectivity\, and with this change\, HUD REAC has given its inspectors the ability to add new subjectivity to inspections and understanding this distinction is now vital to understanding how to perform well on REAC Inspections.\nThis webinar will discuss these new requirements\, show descriptions of how these deficiencies will commonly be applied\, and give participants a guide to understanding how they need to approach their properties.\nREAC Inspections have become a cornerstone of the assisted housing world\, and knowing how to succeed on these inspections is incredibly important for all properties and all companies working in the HUD-assisted housing industry. Join us for this webinar to better understand these new requirements. This webinar is vital for everyone at your company\, from maintenance staff to executives.
