A
B
I
hope
you
were
able
to
spend
some
time
off
safely,
whatever
that
looked
like
I'm
sure
it
looked
a
little
bit
different
for
everybody,
but
thanks
and-
and
I
also
hope
that
you
enjoyed
the
snow
this
past
week
and
that
it
wasn't
too
much
of
a
hassle
for
anybody
good
to
see
you
all.
So
today
we're
going
to
hear
from
the
department
of
permits
license
and
inspections.
B
B
So
we'll
start
out
with
director
sarah
kinter
from
our
department
of
permits
license
and
inspections
thanks.
So
much
for
being
with
us
tonight,
hey
happy
to
be
here
sorry
to
interrupt
just
a
reminder:
everyone,
if
you
have
let's
hold
questions
till
the
end
and
if
you
have
a
question
to
raise
your
hand
through
zoom
and
I'll
call
on
you
and
we
can
facilitate
those
questions
after
the
director's
presentation.
C
Sure
also
folks
want
to
put
them
in
chat
as
we
go
that
we
can
get
to
them
in
the
end
or,
as
as
I
see
them,
that
would
be
helpful
too.
Well.
First,
thanks
for
being
part
of
the
civic
leadership
academy,
it's
a
really
wonderful
program,
and
I
appreciate
the
time
that
you
guys
have
dedicated
to
learning
about
how
city
government
works.
It's
pretty
cool.
C
C
So
our
permitting
licensing
code
enforcement
and
inspection
powers
are
reflected
in
pittsburgh.
City
code
in
a
few
titles
that
are
listed
here,
title
10
codes
are
what
we
refer
to
when
we
issue
building
permits
and
violations
related
to
permitting
or
lack
thereof,
and
it
also
includes
some
property
maintenance
standards.
C
I
think
it's
helpful
to
understand
where
these
rules
come
from
and
what
they
do
for
our
communities.
So,
on
the
building
code
side,
there's
an
international
body
called
the
international
code,
council
or
icc,
and
they
come
out
with
updated
model
codes
every
three
years
and
then
the
state
of
pennsylvania
adopts
a
version
of
those
codes
with
some
minor
changes
and
that's,
what's
called
the
uniform
construction
codes.
You
can
kind
of
see
that,
with
the
arrows
here
in
october,
1
2018
pennsylvania
adopted
the
2015
versions
of
the
icc
code.
C
So
that's
the
year
that
we're
on
so
icc
is
working
on
2021
versions
of
the
code
state
of
pennsylvania,
we're
at
2015
and
that's
what's
been
adopted
at
pittsburgh
city
code
level.
So
that's
what
we're
enforcing
when
we
talk
about
the
codes
in
our
department-
and
I
think
it's
also
important
to
note
that
these
are
minimum
standards
of
safety
that
are
concerned
with
life
safety
systems
of
a
structure.
So
I'll
give
some
examples.
C
C
You
know
questions
such
as
does
access
to
common
areas
or
the
accessible
path
meet
accessibility,
building
code
requirements
for
persons
with
disabilities
is
their
proper
ventilation?
Does
the
cooking
hood
for
the
restaurant
meet
the
mechanical
standards
to
ensure
safety
in
case
of
a
fire?
Is
the
foundation
stable
and
suitable
for
the
type
of
rock
soil
sediment
of
a
region
or
on
a
location
of
a
steep
slope
or
a
location?
That's
undermined?
C
These
are
the
types
of
issues
and
considerations
that
are
covered
in
these
safety
codes
and
enforced
through
the
department
to
ensure
safety
of
the
structure
for
our
environmental
health
and
the
health
of
the
built
environment,
and
permitting
is
that
process
to
enforce
those
requirements
and
to
ensure
that
construction
meets
those
codes.
We're
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
process
too.
C
So
on.
That's
that's
the
codes
or
those
are
the
the
codes
that
you
see
here
where
it
says:
ibc,
ie
bc.
You
know
the
international
fuel
gas
code,
that's
what
we
are
enforcing
on
our
permitting
side
on
the
code
enforcement
side
or
operations
side,
the
city
has
directly
adopted
codes
related
to
the
built
environment
that
pli
enforces.
So
those
are
not
state
mandates.
C
C
You
know
first
you're
you're
looking
to
do
some
type
of
work,
maybe
a
new
deck,
a
garage,
an
addition
skyscraper,
where
their
structural
work,
construction
drawings
are
to
be
submitted
to
pli,
and
we
review
to
ensure
that
they're
in
compliance
with
the
codes,
the
drawings
are
required
under
state
law
and
under
our
codes
to
be
stamped
by
a
pa
licensed
architecture.
Engineer,
and
I
think
it's
important
to
note
that
pli
does
not
provide
code
advice.
We
don't
create
drawings,
we
review
drawings
that
are
submitted
to
ensure
that
they
meet
those
code
standards.
C
C
There
are,
there
are
types
of
scopes
of
work
that
don't
require
drawings,
so
those
would
be
your
normal
minor
alterations
which
ordinarily
include
repairs.
So
if
you
have
to
patch
your
roof,
you
don't
need
drawings
for
that.
But
if
you're
reconfiguring
space,
if
you're
changing
the
use
knocking
down
structural
walls,
you
have
to
work
with
a
design
professional
once
the
drawings
are
approved.
C
A
license
holder
may
have
to
be
selected.
This
a
license
holder
is
required
for
commercial
buildings
and
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
license
holders
in
a
few
slides.
But
if
you're
working
on
your
own
primary
residence,
then
you
do
not
need
a
license.
So
I
think
that's
important
for
homeowners
to
know,
and
if
you're
I
should
say,
if
you're
working
on
your
own
primary
residence
and
you're
doing
a
minor
alteration,
then
you
do
not
need
a
license
holder
to
pull
that
permit.
C
Once
you
have
a
permanent
hand,
construction
can
begin
and
our
pli
inspectors
inspect
along
the
way
to
ensure
that
the
permit
meets
the
drawings
that
were
submitted
and
approved,
or
the
standards
of
the
code.
If
it's
a
minor
alteration,
then
there
are
no
drawings
and
once
inspections
are
passed
and
work
is
completed
properly,
that
permit
is
closed
out
and
done.
C
C
But
you
know,
for
example,
if
you
were
to
go
to
home
depot
and
get
a
shed,
that's
less
than
120
square
foot
put
it
in
your
backyard.
It's
not
something
that
would
require
a
pli
permit,
fences
that
are
less
than
six
feet.
High
structurally,
don't
require
a
permit,
but
I
will
point
out
that
you
do
require
a
zoning
review.
So
there
is
a
zoning
and
development
review
application
with
our
sister
department
and
you
would
have
to
apply
for
that.
C
What
they're
going
to
look
like
look
at
is
setbacks,
lot
lines
ensuring
that
you're
meeting
the
zoning
requirements
of
putting
up
a
fence
or
or
putting
a
shed
together.
So
another
common
question
we
have
is
like
finishing
work
now.
If
I
wanted
to
change
the
tiles
or
papering
or
painting
those
things
would
not
require
permit
through
pli.
C
Pli
has
a
ton
of
tools
and
resources
to
research,
your
home
before
you
buy
it.
We're
going
to
talk
about
some
of
those
tools
later
in
the
slide
and
there's
also
ways
for
you
to
track
your
permit.
So
when
you
do
engage
in
in
the
process,
if
you
are
the
applicant
through
our
online
portal,
there's
a
way
to
track
the
information,
but
even
if
you're,
not
an
applicant,
you
can
get
a
lot
of
information
online
about
what's
happening
with
your
permit.
So
we're
going
to
talk
a
lot
about
that.
C
So
you
may
recall,
in
march
of
2020,
governor
wolf
had
issued
an
order
to
shut
down
construction
statewide
during
what
was
known
as
the
red
phase
of
the
pandemic
and
during
the
red
phase
of
the
governor's
order.
Pli
enforced
the
statewide
construction
halt
locally
and
continue
to
review,
issue
and
inspect
permits
for
emergency
work,
work
related
to
health
care
facilities
and
then
work
that
received
state
waivers
until
may
8th.
When
that
order
was
lifted
and
construction
work
resumed
full
force.
C
Each
cog
of
our
permit
machine
was
crucial
to
our
mission
and
operations.
So
during
the
red
phase
we
have
a
staff
group
called
application
technicians,
they
received
certifications
in
permit
intake
and
they
screened
for
emergency
permits
and
continued
to
intake
all
other
permits,
ensuring
that
they
were
in
the
proper
queue
application.
Technicians
also
issued
minor
alteration.
Emergency
permits
same
day,
so
if
someone
had
a
leaky
roof
during
the
shutdown,
aptx
got
those
out
the
door,
often
same
day
or
next
day
for
permits
with
structural
reviews.
C
Those
move
down
the
line
to
our
plans,
examiners,
those
are
architects
or
engineers
that
we
have
on
staff,
that
review
construction
drawings
and
ensure
that
they
meet
code.
Just
so,
we
talked
about.
They
also
prioritized
emergency,
permit
reviews
while
working
remotely,
but
also
continued
to
review
electronic
submissions
in
the
standard
queue.
C
Code
enforcement
side,
our
fire
and
life
safety
inspectors
continue
to
inspect
for
high
occupancy
structures
or
excuse
me
to
inspect
high
occupancy
structures
for
fire
life
safety
systems
and
our
vacant
property
inspectors
continued
to
respond
to
condemned
vacant,
abandoned
building
complaints
that
we
received
through
3-1-1,
again
needed
that
clerical
staff
to
get
those
violations
out
the
door.
Despite
the
courts
being
closed,
emergencies
were
still
being
dealt
with
in
the
court
system
and
our
our
staff
was
key
in
in
getting
those
through.
C
This
is
our
organizational
chart.
It
sort
of
gives
you
a
view
of
of
our
staff
as
it
as
it
currently
is.
So
we
have
89
employees
shown
here,
but
truly
pli
is
a
pretty
lean
department.
Our
positions,
work
in
sequence
and
in
support
of
our
mission
and
all
of
our
construction
and
administrative
divisions
worked
full
time
through
the
shutdown
shown
in
the
blue
and
the
green
and
then
in
the
red
you're.
Seeing
that
operation
side.
C
Those
are
the
folks
that
are
answering
311s
for
violations
for
the
zoning
code
and
for
the
international
property
maintenance
code,
those
fire
and
life
safety,
maintenance,
inspection
requirements
and
just
to
pause
on
that.
What
that
is
is
there
are
high
occupancy
buildings
within
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
where
we
have
to
ensure
that
their
fire
life
safety
systems,
work,
schools,
nursing
homes,
high
rises,
right
places
where
a
lot
of
people
are
gathered,
they
need
to
get
out
the
door.
C
We
need
to
make
sure
that
those
systems
are
properly
maintained
and
tested
annually
for
their
safety.
So
that's
what
those
folks
are
doing
and
those
that
type
of
inspection
continued
through
the
pandemic,
and
you
know
we're
gonna
talk
about
this
a
little
bit
later.
We
also
perform
emergency
demolitions
of
eminently
dangerous
structures,
also
something
we
had
to
continue
doing
through
the
pandemic.
So
during
the
lockdown,
our
changes
to
operations
included
halting
all
non-emergency
property
maintenance
inspections,
while
the
courts
were
closed
for
everything
that
wasn't
an
emergency
until
june
10th.
C
We
closed
our
physical
customer
service
counter
down
and
we
adopted
under
internal
and
external
policies
to
ensure
safety
of
pli
staff.
So
we
issued
coven
19
guidance
that
required
appropriate
safety
measures
at
job
sites.
We
outlined
rules
for
conducting
safe
inspections
and
we
empowered
our
inspectors
to
fail
inspections
and
issue
stock
work
orders
where
coven
19
compliance
was
not
met.
C
Inspectors
are
a
shared
resource.
We
only
have
so
many
of
them
for
all
the
wards
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh
and
it's
important
that
we
keep
them
safe
and
at
full
capacity,
and
I
have
to
say
for
all
of
our
divisions,
I'm
really
proud
of
pli's
work
and
our
ability
to
be
nimble
in
adapting
to
change
and
continuing
to
operate.
C
Our
technology
investments
enabled
us
to
work
effectively
and
efficiently
through
the
pandemic,
so
at
the
forefront
is
our
one-stop
pga
pgh
platform,
which
is
our
one-stop
shop
for
all
development
applications,
and
it
is
a
platform
that
include
includes
the
department
of
permits,
licenses
and
inspections,
the
department
of
city
planning,
department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure
and
the
fire
bureau
permits.
So
all
in
one
place
where
you
can
apply
for
those
types
of
development
related
applications.
C
C
Then
we
had
our
permitting
go
live
then
we
had
zoning
come
along
with
us
and
just
recently
this
last
may.
Our
code
enforcement
team
and
domi
came
online
on
one
stop
as
well,
and
one
stop
pgh
allows
customers
and
staff
to
continue
transparent,
permit
work
and
interactions
remotely.
It
was
key
in
working
through
the
pandemic.
It's
a
paperless
system
that
uses
gis
layers
and
application
field
inputs
to
help
streamline
the
permitting
process
with
technology,
and
it
sounds
novel,
but
this
is
the
first
time
that
all
pli
staff
are
working
in
the
same
system.
C
So
the
chat
feature
has
been
immensely
popular
and
since
it's
launched
in
mid
april,
we
help
about
80
people
a
day
through
the
chat
feature.
It
was
a
feature
born
pandemic
and
the
need
to
maintain
customer
service.
But
it's
certainly
here
to
stay,
and
we've
worked
with
our
sister
departments
to
have
their
staff
plug
into
this
feature
as
well.
So
we
can
work
better
together.
C
Another
feature
that
we
had
adopted
was
a
web-based
phone
application
and
partnership
with
our
it
department
so
that
we
could
answer
customers
safely,
while
working
from
home
took
us
a
while
to
get
that
together,
it
didn't
launch
until
mid-may,
but
the
web-based
phone
app
actually
provided
additional
functionality
that
our
desk
phones
didn't
have
in
the
office.
So
we
were
able
to
do
things
like
transfer
calls
and
have
caller
id
and
able
to
capture
stats.
C
So
through
our
online
chats,
our
calls
and
our
emails
pli
has
over
200
one-stop
pgh
centered
customer
service
interactions
daily.
So
we
have
a
ton
of
interactions
with
you
know:
development
work
happening,
and
you
know
citations
and
enforcement
work
happening
within
the
city
of
pittsburgh
every
day.
C
Because
we
only
accepted
electronic
submissions
through
the
pandemic,
our
plan
review
benefited
because
we
were
not
dealing
with
the
administrative
burden
of
paper
drawing
so
if
anyone's
ever,
you
know,
worked
on
a
big
project
or
worked
with
an
architect
or
engineer
or
a
design
professional
to
submit
a
permit.
You
know
folks
would
come
to
the
office
with
giant
rolls
of
drawings,
plop
them
on
the
counter,
and
we
would
have
to
find
space
for
them
in
our
library
of
drawings,
so
the
electronic
drawing
system
allowed
us
to
markup
drawings
electronically.
C
You
know
one
additional
important
feature
of
the
one
stop
pgh
platform
has
been
our
automated
plan
review
report
and
markups
that
list
the
revisions
to
obtain
approval
that
you
can
download
as
many
times
as
you
like
from
the
customer
portal
and
actually
see
where
the
changes
need
to
occur.
So
you
know
people
would
submit
drawings.
You
know
with
a
bunch
of
sprinkler
heads,
you
know
in
written
text,
you'd
say
change.
C
Sprinkler
head,
you
know
whatever
here
we're
able
to
market
this
sprinkler
head
over
here
doesn't
have
enough
coverage
this
one
right
here,
it's
very
clear
and
a
really
great
customer
service
value
added
to
have
that
clarity
in
in
our
reviews,
and
we've
been
working
with
our
sister
departments
to
coordinate
our
review
timelines
and
approvals
for
better
customer
service.
So
reviews
are
happening
faster,
so
we've
we've
seen
our
review
times
improve.
C
We
have
service
level
agreements
for
commercial
structures
where
we
say
it's
going
to
take
30
business
days
for
an
initial
review.
You
can
see
here
we're
doing
that
on
average
in
23
days
on
the
residential
side,
it's
a
15
business
day
service
level,
agreement
on
average,
we're
doing
that
in
nine
business
days
on
the
first
review
and
the
second
review
is
even
faster
and
you
know
the
other,
the
other
thing
to
know
we're
talking
about
average,
but
we
are
meeting
our
service
level
agreements
99
of
the
time.
C
C
In
addition,
construction
inspectors
were
performing
enforcement
inspections
to
issue
citations
for
work
without
a
permit
or
working
outside
the
scope
of
a
permit,
etc.
So
a
lot
of
stock
works
in
2020
and
given
the
shutdown
there's,
a
few
different
outcomes
of
an
inspection,
including
pass
fail,
accessible
or
partially
passed.
C
If
you
have
phase
work
and
we're
seeing
about
an
80
pass
rate,
and
the
one
highlight
of
one
stop
pgh
system
is
that
owners,
contractors
and
trade
license
permits
holders
receive
an
inspection
report
that
has
the
checklist
of
what
pli
is
inspecting
for
that
pass
or
failed
determination
of
that
item.
We
want
to
be
transparent
about
what
we're
looking
for
in
the
field
and,
in
addition,
it
helps
us
enforce
the
inspection
sequence.
C
So
bigger
picture,
what
does
2020
look
like
for
pli
in
terms
of
permitting
and
how
did
the
shutdown
affect
permits
in
pittsburgh?
In
our
data
from
january
1
2020
through
november
15th,
we've
issued
a
little
over
8
000
permits
and
project
that
will
issue
about
900
by
year's
end.
So
that's
a
dip
of
about
13
and
it's
important
to
note
that
some
of
that
dip
can
be
attributed
to
a
change
in
our
business
practice.
C
C
What's
interesting,
though,
is
despite
that
permanent
decrease
of
10
the
value
of
construction
side,
we
see
a
reported
1.1
billion
dollars
of
permitted
work
occurring
in
pittsburgh,
and
we
project
that
we'll
just
get
right
over
1.3
billion
mark
by
year's
end.
So
a
little
bit
of
a
decrease
10
decrease
in
our
permits,
but
a
little
bit
of
an
increase
in
the
the
work
that's
occurring
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
So
despite
the
pandemic,
strong
construction
economy.
C
When
our
code
enforcement
team
receives
a
complaint
and
conducts
an
inspection,
65
percent
of
the
time,
a
violation
is
issued
and
one
important
feature
of
the
new
system
has
been
reporting,
inspection
outcomes
and
reflecting
those
in
our
public
portal
called
building
eye,
which
I
have
a
few
slides
about
a
little
bit
later
now.
Folks
know
whether
the
inspector
issued
the
violation
or
not,
and
why,
of
course,
those
inspections
that
result
in
a
violation
about
over
80
of
the
time
just
over
80
percent.
C
You
know
the
nuisance
properties
that
neighbors
complain
about.
One
way
we're
addressing
these
properties
is
through
our
new
programmatic
inspection
tool.
In
one
stop
pgh,
we
use
programmatic
inspections
to
list
and
inspect
those
high
occupancy
buildings
for
fire
and
life,
safety,
condemn
structures
and
now
for
a
listing
that
we
call
dead
end
cases.
The
goal
is
to
track
these
properties
in
a
separate
listing
research
them
for
a
responsible
agent
and
proactively
inspect
to
send
them
to
dpw
for
board
up
of
the
property.
C
It
feeds
directly
into
the
one-stop
pgh
system
and
goes
right
into
the
inspector's
queue
that's
assigned
to
that
ward.
I
also
like
to
point
out
at
this
time
that
inspectors
do
have
limitations,
so
we
need
to
ensure
that
we
have
proper
right
of
entry
and
don't
intrude
on
anyone's
fourth
amendment
rights.
C
The
property
can
be
investigated
from
the
public
right
away
or
in
route
to
the
front
door
to
seek
entry
and
knock.
So
we
can,
you
know,
basically
go
where
a
mail
carrier
goes
or
investigated
from
an
adjacent
property
with
access
granted
by
that
adjacent
property
owner,
but
proper
right
of
entry
must
be
granted
to
perform
inspections,
so
no
peeking
over
fences,
no
trying
to
get
into
someone's
backyard.
C
C
Here
you
can
see
we
do
three
notices
before
going
to
court.
Our
we
have
service
level
agreements
associated
with
our
inspections
as
well.
So
you
start
a
complaint.
It
gets
into
a
pli
inspector's
queue
within
three
business
days,
we're
going
to
go
out
and
inspect.
If
there's
no
violation,
we
close
the
case.
C
If
there
is
a
violation,
we
send
our
first
notice.
We
give
a
compliance
period,
it's
a
range
from
five
to
thirty
days,
depending
on
the
severity
of
the
issues.
So,
for
example,
an
extreme
electrical
fire
hazard,
you're
gonna
get
a
five
day,
violation
on
that.
Sometimes
stop
works
five
day.
Violation,
weeds
and
debris,
I
believe,
are
15..
C
There
are
some
zoning
code
violations
that
would
give
you
30.
so
giving
you
time
to
apply,
maybe
go
through
a
process.
We
do
it
again
on
the
second
inspection
on
the
third
inspection.
That's
that
20.
You
know
that's
that
percentage
that
we're
sending
to
court
that's
in
front
of
the
magisterial
district
judges.
That
information
is
now
posted
on
building.
I
civic
central
for
community
members
to
attend
court
hearings
and
you
know,
follow
follow
cases.
C
Trade
license
holders
must
have
passed
an
exam
relevant
to
their
trade
and
are
qualified
to
obtain
permits
for
specialized
life.
Safety
work,
including
electrical
mechanical
and
fire
suppression,
work
permits,
trade
license.
Holders
are
required
also
to
obtain
annual
continuing
education
and
due
to
the
pandemic,
many
classes
were
canceled
and
licensees
had
to
look
for
online
courses.
So
in
the
last
year,
pli
has
extended
grace
periods
for
trade,
license
holders
and
forgave
late
fees,
and
we
did
expect
a
bit
of
a
decline
in
license
holders
due
to
the
pandemic.
C
But
overall
we
only
saw
about
an
eight
percent
decrease
in
our
general
contractor
licenses
and
about
an
average
of
a
three
percent
decrease
in
our
trade
license
holders.
We
do
do
a
smattering
of
other
business
licenses
as
well
that
have
a
nexus
to
public
safety
work,
but
I
left
them
out
of
this
longer
presentation
today.
C
So
last,
but
least
want
to
talk
about
different
resources
that
are
available.
First,
we
created
videos
to
help
people
navigate
through
one
stop
pgh.
So
if
you
have
to
apply
for
a
permit
or
a
license
or
check
an
application
use
the
search
feature,
we
have
some
videos
for
folks
to
follow
and
you
know
learn
how
to
get
through
the
process.
C
You
do
not
have
to
create
an
account
to
search
one
stop
pgh
so
highlighted
here.
If
you're
looking
for
information
on
a
permit
application
and
where
it's
at
you
can
search
one
stop
pgh,
you
can
also
use
building
eye.
Both
are
going
to
give
you
about
the
same
information,
but
it's
a
great
tool
to
search
on
a
parcel
or
search
something.
Maybe
maybe
you
have
someone
who's
applying
for
something
on
your
behalf.
You
want
to
see
where
they
are.
What
they're
doing
it's
a
great
place
to
look?
C
C
Other
information
that
we
post
continuously
one
is
called
you
know,
what's
the
status
of
my
permit,
so
poi
reviews
first
in
first
out,
so
if
you
apply
for
a
permit,
you
know
we
have
our
service
level
agreements
and
we'll
say
we're
going
to
try
to
get
this
done
within
30
business
days
or
15
business
days.
You
can
actually
see
using
this
webpage
where
you
are
in
the
queue
and
who's
ahead
of
you
and
watch
that
queue
move
along.
So
you
can
see
whether
we're
faster
or
you
know,
taking
we're
going
to
take.
C
C
I've
had
a
lot
of
numbers
thrown
out
there
today,
but
I
think
the
one
thing
I
hope
you're
coming
away
with,
is
that
pli
is
doing
a
really
high
volume
of
work
right,
we're
doing
the
you
know:
28
000
construction
inspections
and
55
000
operations,
inspections
and
9
000
reviews
and
10
000
permits
this
year.
8
000
permits,
so
it's
really
high
volume
work
and
which
is
you
know
something
that
we
like.
It's
something
that
a
lot
of
you
know.
C
You
know
if
there's
building
going
on
and
you're
wondering
if
they
have
a
permit,
here's
the
place
to
look
it
updates
nightly.
So
if
you
submitted
a
3-1-1
in
the
morning
and
we
inspected
it
the
next
day,
you're-
probably
not
going
to
see
that
until
the
next
day,
because
of
the
way
that
the
system
updates.
So
it's
not
exactly
real
time,
but
it
does
update
daily
at
night.
C
There's
the
description
of
work,
that's
the
expectation
of
what
they're
working
on
and
then
where
they
are
in
the
process.
So
they
have
some
inspections
that
are
completed,
the
permit
was
issued,
etc.
Another
great
search
tool
we
have
is
our
certificates
of
occupancy
search
tool.
So,
if
you're
trying
to
find
out
whether
the
structure
has
a
valid
certificate
of
occupancy,
you
can
use
this
tool
on
our
website
to
do
a
search.
C
We
also
are
we're
actually
upgrading
this
with
a
new
reporting
tool
from
our
new
system,
but
we
expose
our
list
of
condemned
buildings
buildings
that
have
received
asbestos
surveys,
because
we
are
looking
to
demolish
them
through
our
pli
processes
for
dangerous
structures,
and
you
know
the
next
steps
of
that.
After
we
had
an
asbestos
survey,
it
could
be
that
they
were
under
contract
and
then
you
know
buildings
that
we
actually
demolished
or
raised.
C
C
B
D
Off
sure,
thanks
well,
first
off
before
I
launch
in
here
to
my
one
question:
I'm
loving
myself
to
one
you
know
welcome,
but
I
just
wanna
say
sarah.
I
do
not
envy
you.
I
think
that
you
have
one
of
the
hardest
jobs
in
the
city.
I
have
talked
to
a
lot
of
people
working
with
permits
and
inspections
and
so
on,
and
there
is
not
a
lot
of
love
out
there
for
pli,
so
you
know.
D
D
We
were
told:
oh,
wait
a
minute
we
shouldn't
have
approved
those
plans,
stop
working
well.
The
problem,
then,
is
that
we'd
already
spent
all
of
our
money,
we'd
already
built
the
space
and
so
we're
kind
of
in
limbo
for
a
little
while.
So
what
I'm
wondering
is
from
the
result
of
those
conversations,
are
there
new
systems
being
developed
to
to
avoid
those
incidences
happening
where
businesses
like
mine
are
working
with
pli
in
good
faith,
but
to
make
sure
they
don't
get
kind
of
caught
up
in
in
issues
and
problems
in
the
process?
C
C
C
But
auditing
is
a
way
to
ensure
that
that's
happening
in
a
systematic
way
and
you
know
for
us
to
catch
issues.
So
we've
started
that
process
now
that
we
have
a
robust
reporting
feature
where
we're
able
to
do
that-
and
it
has
been
helpful
in
you-
know
catching
either
misconceptions
in
what
a
checklist
item
might
mean
or
the
enforcement
of
an
inspection
item
out
in
the
field.
So
I
think
that's
you
know
one
way
on
a
process.
Point
for
us
to.
C
You
know
catch
an
issue
that
maybe
we
have
missed,
and
certainly
we
don't
want
to
play
gotcha.
We
want
to
be
transparent
and
we
want
people
to
know
up
front
exactly
what
we're
reviewing
and
inspecting
for
so
that
things
don't
happen
at
the
end
of
a
process,
so
apologies.
If
that's
what
you're
dealing
with
currently,
we
could
certainly
talk
offline
about
that
as
well.
C
Some
other
things
that
we're
doing
include
completing
permitting
rules
and
regulations.
So
this
is
a
long
and
boring
document,
but
it's
about
transparency,
so
in
hopefully
spring
of
2021
we'll
be
producing
a
document
that
again
is
about
what
are
pli's
processes.
What
are
our
checklists?
What
are
what
can
you
expect
when
we
issue
a
violation
and
in
our
code
enforcement
capacity?
You
know
what
happens
when
we
issue
a
stop
work.
C
We're
also
trying
to
do
more
to
provide
better
guidance
to
design
professionals.
So
there
are,
you
know
something
recently
that
we
did.
We
provided
guidance
on
the
differences
between
the
accessibility
building
code
and
the
americans
with
disabilities
act,
and
you
know
it's
important
for
design
professionals
to
know
that,
and
it's
also
important
for
folks
to
know
what
does
pli
enforce
versus
you
know,
what's
enforced
by
other
agencies
and
bodies,
and
sometimes
that
is
helpful
as
well.
C
To
get
people
through
the
permitting
process
so
again
be
happy
to
talk
with
you
more
about
your
particular
issue.
But
I
do
think
you
know
we're
moving
towards
excellence
on
that
front
and
certainly
want
folks
to
know
up
front
in
the
process
exactly
what
it
is
that
they
need
to
do
to
get
to
the
finish
line
and
open
their
business.
C
Yeah,
it's
a
great
question,
so
the
international
code
council
adopts,
which
is
the
international
body
that
creates
these
model
codes.
They
update
the
codes
every
three
years,
so
they
came
out
with
a
2018
code.
They
are
working
on
issuing
their
2021
code,
pennsylvania
adopted
2015
and
they
are
working
on
adopting
2018..
So
we're
always,
you
know
a
step
behind,
but
it
seems
like
in
the
next
few
years,
we'll
probably
be
moving
through
the
2018
codes.
E
Is
there
is
there
a
reason
why
we're
always
like
three
or
four
years
behind
and
that,
like
by
the
time
we
get
to
the
2018
code,
they'll
already
be
a
2020
one
code
and
is
there
anything
preventing
the
city
from
amending
their
existing
codes
to
like
call
for
stricter,
say,
like
insulation,
straight,
like
tighter
building
codes
for
better
efficiency,
because
it
seems
like
if
we
wait
six
more
years,
that's
just
like
potentially
six
billion
dollars
worth
of
work
done.
That
really
could
be
done
better.
I
guess
I
don't
understand
what
the
hold
up
is.
C
That's
a
great
question
so-
and
I
agree
with
you
on
many
points
on
that,
so
we
are
opted
in
to
the
state
law,
so
the
state
really
controls
the
version
level
that
we're
adopting
from
can.
We
have
something
stricter,
yes,
but
only
in
certain
instances
and
through
a
certain
process.
So,
let's
say
city
of
pittsburgh
wanted
to
get
really
serious
about
energy
code
provisions
because
we
wanted
emissions
from
buildings
to
be
xyz.
C
There
would
be
a
public
process
that
we'd
have
to
go
through
here
locally,
the
public
process.
We
would
have
to
go
through
through
the
state
and
you
know
they
would
vet
that
adoption
at
a
local
level,
because
part
of
the
state's
concern
is
ensuring
that
when
you
build
in
the
state
of
pennsylvania,
you're
being
basically
treated
to
the
same
codes,
no
matter
where
you're
building,
so
it's
efficiency
for
builders.
C
C
They
want
to
provide
priority
to
the
accessibility
code.
They
want
to
make
sure
that
persons
with
disabilities
have
the
most
recent
code
adoption,
which
is
part
of
the
reason
why
they
do
that,
but
they
also
have
strict
standards
that
say
that
a
municipality
cannot
make
any
changes
to
those
accessibility
codes
or
go
through
that
state
process.
We
do
2018
and
any
variances
or
changes
to
an
accessibility
standard
goes
to
the
state.
C
C
This
new
mechanic
on
on
energy
and
the
building
associations
have
their
ability
to
say:
hey,
that's
really
expensive
for
us
to
do,
or
you
know
this
is
going
to
affect
labor
or
hey
this.
You
know,
there's
maybe
some
carve
outs
for
a
lumber
issue.
So
those
things
get
you
know
the
sausage
gets
made
and
then
they
they
issue
it.
So
you
know
that
public
process
happens
prior
to
adoption.
C
C
F
B
F
C
Right
you
know
on
on
some
points.
I
agree
with
you,
but
pli
cannot
retroactively,
ask
a
property
owner
to
make
their
structure
code
compliant
to
current
code
if
they're
not
doing
new
work.
So
you
know
in
in
this
case,
if
they
hadn't
pulled
any
permits,
because
they
haven't
done
any
work,
although
it's
hard
to
believe
that
over
that
long
period
of
time
that
they
aren't
pulling
permits
from
you
know
for
some
work
that
needs
to
happen.
You
know
pli
can't
retroactively,
say:
okay!
C
C
Certainly,
commercial,
you
know
when
people
are
doing
work
and
they're
pulling
permits,
we're
doing
a
review.
We
want
them
to
meet
the
most
recent
code
requirements
to
get
their
certificates
of
occupancy.
So
you
know
change
does
happen
over
a
period
of
time,
but
you
know
you
know,
to
be
frank:
it's
a
real
life
safety
challenge.
I
think
that's
why
our
fire
and
life
safety
inspector
unit
is
so
important
because
they
are
ensuring
that
the
fire
and
life
safety
systems
that
are
in
these
buildings.
C
C
I
have
a
correct
question:
it's
can
a
property
owner.
Have
I
guess
if
a
fire
destroys
a
property,
can
it
be
demolished
by
the
city
of
pittsburgh?
That
can
happen.
So
if
there's
a
catastrophic
fire
and
it's
unsafe
and
might
affect
a
cartway,
an
adjacent
structure,
you
know
it's
imminently:
dangerous,
as
a
public
safety
measure,
pli
may
go
out
and
do
a
demolition
on
that
structure.
So
that
is
possible.
C
Sure,
thanks
for
asking,
I
think
our
our
strongest
partnership
was
with
the
department
of
city
planning,
because
zoning
and
building
go
hand
in
hand
where
you
put
something
is
just
as
important
as
how
you
build
something
right.
So
an
industrial
type
building
shouldn't
probably
go
next
to
a
daycare
right.
How
a
neighborhood
looks
and
it's
set
packs
it
matters.
C
You
know
in
a
similar
way,
there
are
domi
reviews
or
the
department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure
reviews
that
have
to
do
with
the
right
of
way.
So
you
know
what
that
sidewalk
is
going
to
look
like
what
is
the
exit
and
entrance
of
cars
that
are
coming
in
and
out
of
that
that
building
in
that
structure,
that's
a
review
that
zoning
works
with
domi
on
to
ensure
that
we're
we're
looking
at
the
the
full
development
gli
is
kind
of
the
the
gatekeeper
of
all
that
right.
C
C
H
B
C
So,
to
be
clear,
pli
would
only
be
doing
a
demolition
on
something
that's
eminently
dangerous.
This
means
the
structure
is
gonna
fall
onto
the
street.
It's
gonna
fall
onto
an
adjacent
property,
that's
occupied,
so
we're
really
dealing
with
emergencies,
so
we
would
get
called.
What
would
happen?
Is
you
know
it's
a
911,
a
pli
staffer
would
be
called
up
by
the
emergency
responder
team,
the
folks
that
are
on
on
the
site
at
that
time.
We're
making
hey.
Is
this
going
to
harm?
C
You
know
a
member
of
the
public
or
an
adjacent
building,
et
cetera?
If
yes,
emergency
deposition,
sometimes
fires
can
happen
and
the
structure
is,
you
know
sound
inside
or
can
last,
in
which
case
you
know,
you
can't
request
that
pli
come
out
and
do
a
demolition,
it's
up
to
the
property
owner
to
demolish
that.
Unfortunately,
we
see
properties
deteriorate
over
time
and
they
end
up
in
our
court,
but
that's
not
how
that
should
work.
It
should
be
the
owners
taking
responsibility.
C
If
we
do
have
to
do
a
demolition,
we
lean
the
property,
the
cost
of
the
demolition,
so
we
have
a
contract
with
the
demolition
companies.
We
have
an
emergency,
they
come
out
and
they
do
what's
called
a
curbside
bid
and
they
did
on
site.
They
take
them
with
bitter
per
our.
You
know
procurement
requirements
and
they
do
demolition
hopefully
next
day.
That's
how
emergency
demolitions
happen.
C
C
I
guess
sorry.
This
is
a
long-winded
way
of
answering
your
question,
which
is
there
is
a
fire
in
a
building.
You
know
unless
it's
coming
down
we're
not
going
to
come
down
or
come
out
and
demolish
it.
We
could
get
it
to
the
cdbg
list,
but
it's
going
to
take
quite
some
time
to
demolish
it
through.
That
means,
as
well.
H
C
H
H
C
Gotcha
yeah-
this
is
a
this
is
a
problem
for
pli,
so
nor,
like
members
of
the
public,
probably
won't
be
able
to
get
additional
information.
So
if
I
can
just
maybe
clarify
the
question
when
folks
are
when
we're
citing
folks,
we
use
allegheny
county
as
our
source
of
truth
on
their
addressing
and
their
contact
information.
So
that's
where
tax
information
gets
sent,
so
we
will
take
their
their
addressing
information
from
there.
Sometimes
owners
pass
away
and
there's
no
one
to
take
care
of
the
property
and
the
taxes
aren't
being
paid.
C
So
that
would
be
something
that
pli
could
do
in
other
venues.
You
know
as
a
private
property
owner
you're
kind
of
in
a
pickle.
I
don't
know
unless
you're
trying
to
acquire
the
property.
Otherwise,
you
know
it's
you're,
there's
not
a
lot
of
options
to
track
down
responsible
owner.
So
it's
a
pain
point
all
around.
C
C
Yeah,
that's
a
great
question
so,
depending
on
the
scope
of
work,
sometimes
we
have
to
make
them
reopen
up
walls
right
so
first
things:
first,
they
gotta
pull
a
permit
after
they
pull
a
permit.
We
need
to
inspect
the
work.
You
know
it's.
It
is
unfortunate.
You
know,
we've
had
people
who've
had
to
jackhammer
sidewalks
so
that
we
can
look
at
the
the
tap
and
piping
for
a
suppression
system.
C
If
you
cover
up
the
work
we
can
attest
to
it,
we
can
issue
the
certificate
of
occupancy,
so
it
is
incredibly
expensive
and
certainly
a
fight
when
people
do
work
and
we
don't
get
to
witness
it.
There
is
a
you
know
a
limitation
to
that,
though.
So
if
things
happen
like
five
years
ago,
we're
not
going
to
be
tearing
up
walls,
it
has
to
be
pretty
recent
and
something
that
you
know
has
been
flagged
and
triggered,
and
you
know
going
back
to
our
right
of
entry.
C
You
know
usually
we're
catching
things
that
are,
you
know
near
and
close
to
a
permitting
process.
That's
happening,
inspection
or,
I
should
say,
permitted
work
that
or
non-permitted
work
that
should
have
been
permitted.
That's
happening,
internal
to
a
structure
is
hard
for
us
to
inspect,
because
we
can't
just
go
barging
in
and
saying.
Aha
I
you
know
your
neighbor
said
that
you're
doing
such
and
such
we
caught,
you
usually
doesn't
happen
that
way.
So
it
is
a
it's
difficult
on
an
enforcement
end
for
the
internal
work
like
that.
I
C
B
B
C
B
Yeah,
so
just
as
an
example
of
maybe
another
route
that
an
agency
can
take
to
improve
at
least
fire
safety
within
the
city,
I
think
I
don't
have
the
details
of
that,
but
I
I
believe
they
were
kind
of
bringing
it
in
over
like
a
12-year
period
or
something
like
that
to
even
the
older
grandfathered
in
buildings,
no
new
work,
they
all
need
a
certain
amount
of
sprinklers
aly.
You
have
another
question.
B
G
Do
if
that's
okay,
yeah
yeah
director
kenter,
just
a
sort
of
comparative
question,
you
know
pittsburgh
is
a
smaller
city
and
but
the
surge
in
commercial
permits
and
the
graph
you
showed
since
2014
is
I
mean
it's?
It's
big.
I
don't
like
follow
this
closely.
You
know
and
and
development
in
in
those
numbers,
but
from
the
standpoint
of
like
safety
and
also
like
construction
and
and
labor
issues.
If
you
look
at.
G
You
know
another
city
to
the
east
say
philadelphia
like
the
license
and
inspection
department
there.
I
know
hat
was
a
big
like
focal
point
because
of
some
really
shoddy
commercial
construction,
and
I
wonder
what
you
think
structurally
pittsburgh
has
in
place
that
the
city
has
in
place
that
your
department
does.
C
That's
a
great
question:
I
think
our
biggest
limitation
is
boots
on
the
ground.
Our
department
has
completely
transformed
in
before
2014
we
didn't
have
as
many
building
inspectors
as
we
have
and
as
many
certified
staff
as
we
have
now
so.
Our
building
inspectors
now
are
currently
certified
in
accessibility,
fire,
mechanical
building
and
energy
codes,
and
so
they're
really
comprehensive
in
their
inspection
work,
which
is
you
know,
a
standard
of
excellence
and
certainly
on
our
plan
review
side.
C
C
G
Situations
with
like
a
one
particular
center
city
building,
you
know
collapse
and
workers
who
died
right.
So
I
think
you
spoke
to
some
of
the
you
know
boots
on
the
ground
that
are
important
from
a
department
capacity
standpoint
that
can
prevent
you
know
that
sort
of
failure
that
cost
lives.
So
your
answer
sounded
comprehensive
thanks.
C
I
think
one
other
thing
to
note
on
that
front
is,
if
you
guys
remember
the
the
frick
building
cornice
that
had
fallen
onto
grant
street
at
like
3
a.m.
One
morning
you
know
from
the
top
of
the
building
like
shrapnel
on
the
ground
and
thankfully
no
one
was
around
at
that
time,
but
you
know
it's
those.
Those
are
the
types
of
things
that
keep
me
up
at
night.
Those
are
the
types
of
things
that
you
know.
C
We
need
to
do
thorough
inspections
on
and
facade
inspections,
especially
of
these
high
density
areas.
So
you
know
scale
wise.
You
know.
Philadelphia
is
certainly
a
different
animal,
but
it's
really
about
having
capacity
to
do
that
work.
You
know
when
I
had
talked
about
how
many
inspections
our
inspectors
are
doing
each
day
on
our
construction
side
we're
doing
five
construction
inspectors,
operations
vectors,
they
are
doing
a
lot
in
high
volume.
We
can't
spread
them
any
thinner.
So
it's
a
it's
a
real
challenge.
E
I
think
they
know
the
company
that'll
work
for
and
trust
us,
but
I
mean
a
lot
of
times
they
are
in
and
out
and
maybe
15
minutes
like
they
blast
right
through
that,
and
I
know
that's
because
of
the
volume
and
I'm
just
wondering
if
there's
any
additional
funding
that
you
know.
That's
headed
in
your
department's
direction.
C
Unfortunately,
the
kova
19
pandemic
has
hit
the
city
with
a
pretty
big
budget
hole
and
we're
actually
in
budget
season.
Right
now,
so
pli
has
been
in
front
of
city
council.
Other
departments
are
in
front
of
city
council
and
you
know
the
the
approach
has
been
to
make
sure
people
don't
lose
their
jobs.
C
C
I
know
all
directors
are
feeling
this
way
we're
trying
to
get
through
we're
really
hoping
for
some
federal
relief
to
plug
those
budget
holes,
because
you
know
to
your
point:
matt
and
your
point,
ali
you
know
having
staff
is
what
ensures
that
we
can
get
through
these
thorough
inspections,
make
sure
that
the
built
environment
is
safe.
So
in
an
ideal
world
we
would
be
growing
the
staff,
but
our
budget
is
such
that
we're
probably
not
going
to
see
that
in.
B
2021
well
on
that
bright,
note
yeah,
and
I
we
actually
heard
from
the
office
of
management
and
budget
department
of
finance
for
our
previous
civic
leadership
academy
session,
and
I
think
they
did
speak
to
a
little
bit
about
how
those
budget
cuts
may
be
affecting
departments
for
the
year
to
come.
So
you
can
also
there's
a
lot.
B
There's
a
lot
of
resources
online
at
the
city
of
pittsburgh's
website,
if
you're
interested
in
the
budget
for
next
year-
and
you
can
also
the
budget-
is
still
in
city
council's
hands
like
the
director
sort
of
hinted
to
were
in
a
pretty
tough
place,
just
trying
to
to
keep
everyone
in
their
jobs.
But
you
know,
reaching
out
to
your
council
person
and
advocating
for
some
of
your
priorities
could
never
hurt
okay.
Well,
I'm
gonna
give
director
a
hand
clap
on
zoom,
if
others
would
like
to
other
than
that.
B
B
All
right
welcome
back.
I
hope
everyone
got
a
nice
micro.
Break-In
did
some
stretches
all
right,
so
we
will
move
right
along
so
here
today,
from
the
housing
authority
of
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
we
have
jp
leskovic,
who
is
the
communications
specialist
sunshine
pryor?
Who
is
the
associate
director
of
compliance
and
anthony
chaffee?
Who
is
the
real
estate
at
asset
manager?
J
Thank
you
guys
for
having
me
and
thank
you
guys
for
having
us.
So
we
are
the
housing
authority
of
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
So
just
give
you
a
quick
rundown.
We're
gonna
talk
about
I'll,
give
you
a
quick
introduction.
What
we
are
organizational
structure,
our
history
anthony
will
talk
to
you
about
programs
and
operations
and
public
safety,
I'll
talk
to
you
about
resident
services,
and
then
sunshine
will
wrap
it
up
with
our
development
and
modernization
initiatives
and
how
you
do
business
with
us.
J
So
let's
get
some
oh
and
the
other
thing
I
wanted
to
say
was
we
don't
have
any
slides,
specifically
dedicated
to
covid,
we'll
probably
all
talk
about
it
and
if
you,
if
you
have
any
questions,
just
ask
us
them
at
the
end.
So
let's
get
started
so
housing
authority
of
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
What
are
we?
What
do
we
do?
So?
J
So
what
all
does
that
entail
in
terms
of
property
management
we
own
and
operate
over
2500,
low-income
public
housing
units?
We
support
over
700
units
and
mixed
income
sites,
and
in
addition
to
that,
we
administer
5,
600
housing,
choice,
vouchers
for
people
throughout
the
city
and
we
developed
mixed
in-time,
housing
communities,
modern
senior
citizen
communities
and
newer
housing
stock.
In
addition
to
providing
services
for
our
residents
and
so
much
more,
which
we'll
talk
about
as
we
get
going
so
in
terms
of
our
organizational
structure.
J
Just
give
you
guys
a
quick
overview
of
how
we
are
governed,
how
we
function
and
how
we
make
our
decisions.
So
we
are
established
under
federal
and
state
laws
by
a
city
ordinance
and
what
that
means
is
that
we
are
federally
funded
and
regulated
through
the
u.s
department
of
housing
and
urban
development.
But
we
are
locally
governed.
J
So
we
are
governed.
Our
governing
body
is
a
board
of
commissioners
which
is
composed
of
seven
mayoral,
appointees,
five
of
whom
must
be
approved
by
the
city
council
and
one
of
whom
must
be
one
of
our
residents
to
ensure
that
there's
some
sort
of
resident
representation
on
the
decision-making
body
and
those
seven
commissioners
elect
their
own
chair
and
then,
in
terms
of
you,
know,
everyday
operations
day
to
day
that
kind
of
stuff.
J
So
where
have
we
been
before
we
can
get
to
where
we
are?
Where
have
we
been?
What's
our
history
so,
like
I
said,
we
were
established
under
federal
and
state
law
and
that
law
that
we
were
established
under
was
the
u.s
housing
act.
So
after
president
franklin
donald
roosevelt
signed
the
u.s
housing
act,
the
city
of
pittsburgh
created
the
first
housing
authority
in
pennsylvania
in
the
country
and
we
were
founded
that
was
august,
26
1937..
J
So
then,
after
our
founding,
you
know
we
were
one
of
the
first
housing
authorities
in
the
country.
We
didn't
have
much
so
the
first
seven
years.
The
first
couple
years
of
our
you
know,
existence
we're
really
focused
on
building
communities.
Maintaining
those
communities
and
kind
of
you
know
we
built
seven
housing
developments,
you
can
see
them
there,
bedford
dwellings,
addison
terrace,
aliquippa,
terrace,
arlington
heights,
allegheny
dwellings,
glen,
hazel
and
broadhead
manor.
J
These
were
some
of
the
first
housing
public
housing
communities
in
the
country,
they're
really
forward
thinking
for
the
time,
and
actually
that
picture
there
is
from
when
franklin
fdr
came
and
visited.
I
believe
it
was
for
the
opening
of
addison
terrace.
It
may
have
been
medford
dwellings,
but
I'm
pretty
sure
it
was
for
addison
terrace.
So
it
was
a
really
exciting
time.
J
Everything
everything
was
new.
The
president
came
and
visited.
So
that's
our
early
days,
and
so
in
the
decade
after
that
we
really
focused
on
you
know
maintaining
our
housing.
We
expanded
them
slightly,
but
there
wasn't
a
huge
change.
Anything
big
in
http's
history
until
the
1960s
when
we
started
developing
our
first
scattered
sites
and
scattered
sites,
are
basically
exactly
what
they
sound
like.
J
They
are
housing
sites
that
are
scattered
throughout
the
city,
so,
instead
of
the
units
being
in
a
spit
all
in
one
community
like
let's
say
with
bedford
dwellings,
they
would
instead
be
one
house
in
hazelwood
one
house
in
stanton
heights
and
things
like
that.
So
then,
after
that,
in
the
1970s
we
moved
into
the
new
decade,
the
70s
and
our
focus
shifted.
J
We
focused
more
on
providing
housing
to
senior
residents
and
residents
with
disabilities
and,
to
you
know
accomplish
that
we
constructed
12
high-rise
communities
that
were
that
are
specifically
for
our
senior
residents
and
residents
for
disabilities.
Those
12
high-rise
communities
we
still
manage
today
and
they're
still
designated
specifically
for
senior
residents
and
residents
with
disabilities
in
the
middle
of
the
70s.
1976
is
when
the
federal
government
established
the
housing
choice,
voucher
program,
also
known
as
section
8..
J
So
then
in
the
1980s.
That's
really
what
was
dominating
our
activity.
It
was
expanding.
The
housing
choice,
voucher
program
connecting
with
landlords
getting
people
connected
with
landlords,
really
establishing
the
program
in
the
city
of
picture
of
pittsburgh,
making
sure
it
was
up
and
running
and
really
going
and
in.
A
J
There
was
another
pivot
towards
public
and
private
partnerships.
You
know,
instead
of
just
funding
things
through
the
government,
we
started
leveraging
some
private
funds
to
begin
hope,
six
redevelopments
and
what
hope
six
redevelopments
were
is
these,
were
this
was
an
initiative
from
the
federal
government
through
public
housing
authorities
across
the
country,
to
kind
of
use,
public
and
private
money
to
invest
in
mixed
income
communities
to
help
improve
the
upper
trajectory
of
residents
in
that
community.
You
can
see
this
picture
here.
That's
oak
hill
in
west
oakland.
J
It
was
one
of
our
hope.
Six
rita
communities
was
one
of
the
first
in
the
country,
a
very
big
deal
and
it's
still
a
really
successful
a
mixed
income
community.
You
can
go
there
now,
it's
very
vibrant,
a
lot
going
on
maybe
a
little
different
during
covet,
but
usually
so
then
you
know
we've
really
focused
on
that
since
then,
so
that
kind
of
brings
us
up.
You
know
generally
to
the
21st
century.
So
where
are
we
now
so
we
now?
J
We
are
pittsburgh's
largest
landlord
and
premier
provider
and
developer
developer
of
quality,
affordable
housing.
We
are
engaged
in
development
in
the
hill
district
east
end
and
north
side.
Some
of
that
development
is
redevelopment
of
business
and
communities,
some
some
of
its
new
development.
A
lot
of
it
is
mixed
income
development.
A
lot
of
it
are
those
public
private
partnerships
that
I
was
talking
about,
but
we'll
talk
more
about
some
of
our
specific
developments
and
how
we
do
that
later
in
the
presentation.
J
But
you
can
see
our
pictures
here
very
modern,
we're
really
trying
to
when
we
design
things
for
our
residents,
we're
thinking.
How
can
we
really
implement?
You
know
modern,
sustainable
design
in
a
way
that
is
affordable
and
will
really
be
accessible
to
people
as
well.
So
we
have
in
the
top
left
the
miller
street
apartments
in
the
top
right,
sandstone
quarry
the
bottom
left,
cornerstone,
village
and
larmor,
and
then
the
bottom
right
is
a
scattered
site
and
that's
in
east
liberty.
J
So,
yes,
that's
where
we
are
today
and
in
terms
of
who
we
serve
and
who
our
residents
are,
who
the
population
is
that
we
help
we
provide
housing
or
housing
subsidy
to
approximately
8
600
households,
and
that
totals
at
18
700
people
approximately.
So
that's
around
seven
percent
of
all
city
of
pittsburgh
residents
either
receiving
housing
or
housing
subsidy
from
the
housing
authority
of
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
and,
as
you
can
see
so,
as
you
can
see,
we
have
a
really
large
reach.
We're
really
impacting
a
lot
of
people.
J
So
our
services,
all
these
things,
there's
a
large
population
that
we're
dealing
with
so
that
we
keep
that
in
mind
whenever
we
are
making
decisions
about
services
or
developments,
or
things
like
that
that
there
is
a
large
number
of
people
that
our
decisions
are
impacting
and
that
we
are
providing
housing
and
services
to.
So
that's
the
brief
intro,
so
I'm
gonna,
you
know,
give
it
over
to
anthony
chaffee.
Now
he
can
start
talking
to
you
about
our
different
housing
programs
that
we
have
as
well
as
some
of
our
operations.
J
K
Thanks
jp
and
I
apologize
to
everybody
in
advance
when
it
comes
to
affordable
housing,
I
can
get
a
little
bit
chatty
so
john,
when
you're
ready
to
jump
into
your
slides.
Please
just
give
me
the
thumbs
up
and
I'll
go
ahead
and
end.
My
conversation,
like
jp,
said
my
name
is
anthony
chaffee,
I'm
the
real
estate
asset
manager
for
the
housing
authority.
K
Basically,
that
means
that
I'm
responsible
for
the
day-to-day
operations
and
management
of
our
low-income
public
housing
portfolio,
low-income
public
housing
program,
is
hacp
owned
and
operated
assistant
housing.
The
properties
are
privately
owned
by
the
housing
authority,
and
day-to-day
operations
are
handled
by
a
team
of
seven
site
managers.
K
Eight
assistant
site
managers,
several
administrative
office
assistants,
a
bilingual
administrative
liaison
who
speaks
five
african
dialects
for
our
our
population
in
northview
heights
and
approximately
35
laborers
and
janitors
initial
eligibility
for
low-income
public
housing
is
determined
by
our
occupancy
department
and
is
capped
at
80
percent
of
the
area.
Median
income,
an
example
that
jp
provided
for
us
was
a
two-person
household
maximum
income
allowable
for
that
family
would
be
fifty
three
thousand
one
hundred
and
fifty
dollars
per
year.
K
When
determining
the
rents
for
those
families
for
low-income
public
housing,
we
use
30
of
the
gross
household
income,
so
total
household
income
residents
are
responsible,
pay
that
30
and
in
some
cases
responsible
for
utilities
as
well.
For
the
residents
who
are
responsible
for
their
utilities,
we
do
apply
an
allowance
to
their
monthly
rent
charge.
Our
utility
allowances
are
adjusted
annually
and
based
off
of
several
facts,
including
unit
characteristics,
utility
rates
charged
by
our
local
utility
companies
and
standard
consumption
rates.
K
K
There
are
two
types
of
mixed
finance
communities
that
are
handled
by
the
asset
management
department
of
the
housing
authority,
those
being
our
traditional
mixed
finance
communities,
as
well
as
non-traditional
mixed
finance
for
the
traditional
mix,
finance
portfolio.
That
would
include
communities
such
as
bedford,
hills,
new
penley
place
and
garfield
commons.
K
In
those
cases,
the
agency
has
regulatory
oversight
and
are
more
involved
in
the
way
that
the
communities
are
ran
due
to
those
developments,
including
public
housing
dollars.
So
there
are
public
housing
units
available
in
those
communities
for
the
non-traditional,
mixed
finance
communities.
The
ancient
the
agency
has
less
involvement
because
we
simply
hold
a
financial
interest
and
that
could
be
through
loans
that
were
given
to
the
developer
or
the
availability
of
housing
vouchers.
K
K
K
and
we
will
also
further
down
into
the
presentation,
give
a
breakdown
from
smaller
family
size
up
to
families
of
eight
same
breakdown.
Here,
the
tenants
pay
thirty
percent
of
the
household
income
towards
their
rent
plus
applicable
utilities.
There
is
also
a
utility
allowance
applied
to
rent
totals
for
our
housing
choice,
voucher
program,
participants.
K
K
Recently,
the
housing
authority
has
issued
location-based
payment
standards
in
specific
opportunity
zones.
Those
opportunity
zones
include
shadyside,
lower
lawrenceville,
the
strip
district
downtown
in
squirrel
hill.
The
opportunity
zones
were
identified
based
off
of
their
walkability
and
additional
advantages
to
the
residents
that
are
utilizing.
The
housing
choice,
voucher.
K
Prior
to
receiving
a
housing
choice,
voucher
program
or
moving
into
one
of
the
public
housing
or
mixed
finance
communities,
there
are
certain
factors
that
are
screened
by
our
occupancy
department
that
affect
eligibility.
Of
course,
as
we
talked
about
annual
income
in
excess
of
the
identified
maximum
limits
would
determine
somebody
to
be
ineligible.
K
We
also
do
landlord
verifications
to
determine
if
there
are
any
outstanding
balances
owed,
not
just
to
another
public
housing
authority,
but
also
to
private
landlords
that
can
include
unpaid,
rent
maintenance
charters
or
outstanding
legal
fees.
With
a
local
district
judge.
We
also
complete
a
criminal
history
on
all
of
our
applicants.
K
Any
applicant
who
is
withdrawn
from
the
program
does
have
the
opportunity
to
file
a
grievance,
in
which
case
we
would
have
a
third
party
grievance
officer,
review.
The
findings
of
the
housing
authority
take
additional
testimony
and
comments
from
the
applicant
and
then
make
a
determination
based
off
of
that
hearing
to
determine
whether
or
not
the
person
should
be
made
eligible,
regardless
of
the
criminal
background
or
the
rental
history
that
they
may
have
had.
K
K
K
An
additional
benefit
is
that
any
participant
in
our
scattered
sites
program
under
the
homeownership
is
also
given
the
opportunity
once
qualified
to
purchase
the
existing
unit
that
they
live
in
now.
That
would
account
for
most
of
the
scattered
site
units,
with
the
exception
of
certain
ones
that
were
purchased
through
specific
federal
dollars
and
the
new
east
liberty
scattered
sites
that
were
built
through
the
choice.

K

and
as
part
of
that
surveillance
system,
we
do
have
the

and
obtain

and
community
partners
have
the

authority.

do
have
the

to

average
of
approximately
seven
days,

on
the

K
It
is
completed
in
its
entirety
by
the
resident,
and
one
submitted
is
submitted
once
submitted
to
the
management
office
is
delivered
to
our
public

Any
footage

form
that
we
process
must
include
a
ccr
number
from
the
pittsburgh
police
department
and
any
footage
that
is
obtained.
K
Some
of
the
services
that
are
provided
include
checking
the
ids
of
our
visitors
and
residents
and
signing
them
in
to
ensure
that
they
are
not
on
the
hacps
exclusion
list.
The
security
company
also
monitors
our
cameras
throughout
the
night
to
ensure
that
there
are
no
signs
of
incidents
or
dangers
that
may
be
posed
for
our
residents.
K
They
do
provide
access
control
to
the
sites
and
they
may
be
armed
or
unarmed,
depending
on
the
volca,
the
the
location
that
they
are
stationed
in
our
guards
also
work
very
closely
with
the
police
and
are
part
of
our
community
engagement
process.
So
over
the
years
they
do
build
a
rapport
with
our
residents.
K
They
are
trusted
and
they
have
the
the
respect
of
the
residents
that
they're
serving
one
of
the
huge
successes
that
our
public
safety
department
has
experienced
recently
was
the
implementation
of
the
officer
kelvin
hall,
public
safety
center
at
northview
heights.
The
agency
and
the
pittsburgh
bureau
of
police
have
an
agreement
to
provide
above
baseline
services
for
the
northside
communities
of
northview
heights
and
allegheny
dwellings.
K
K
The
housing
authority
has
taken
steps
to
ensure
that
our
residents
continue
to
receive
the
same
services
that
were
available
to
them
prior
to
covid.
Part
of
that
is
working
to
ensure
that
we're
hosting
events
outdoors
over
encouraging
social
distancing,
many
of
our
food
distribution
drops
now
are
grab
and
go
as
opposed
to
more
of
a
grocery
style
line.
K
So
that
was
my
bid
on
cover
that
jp
had
mentioned
earlier.
A
few
slides
ago,
we
discussed
the
hacp
exclusion
list.
The
exclusion
list
includes
any
individuals
who
have
committed
a
crime
or
repeated
acts
of
nuisance
on
housing
authority.
Property
residents
who
have
been
evicted
for
criminal
activity
are
also
added
to
the
exclusion
list.
K
Each
person
added
is
sent
notification
and
provided
with
the
steps
that
they
would
need
to
follow.
If
they
would
like
to
contest
that
placement,
the
list
excludes
them
from
all
housing
authority,
city
of
pittsburgh,
communities
and
subjects
them
to
prosecution
for
trespass
if
they
are
found
to
be
on
any
of
the
on
any
of
the
properties.
K
K
J
J
J
We
invest
more
than
two
million
dollars
per
year
in
residence
services,
funding,
a
wide
range
of
programs
and
I'll
talk
about
some
of
those
programs
in
a
minute.
But
I
we
really
like
this
graphic
right
here,
because
it
really
kind
of
sums
up
our
approach
to
resident
services,
because
you
see
this,
the
residents
big
and
in
the
center
there,
because
we
center
the
resident
and
all
of
our
services
we
center,
the
residents
needs
and
we
meet
them
where
they
are.
J
All
of
these
things
are
meant
to
surround
them
with
resources
and
services,
so
that
way
they
can
access
what
they
need.
So
we
have
a
number
of
programs
from
the
family
self-sufficiency
program
to
ross
to
crisis
management,
resident
relations,
choice,
neighborhoods,
clinical
coordination,
computer
training,
steam
resident
employment.
All
these
things
designed
to
give
the
resident
what
they
need
and
meet
them
where
they
are
like
anthony
chad.
J
A
lot
of
those
have
moved
to
outside
deliveries
and
pickups
or
grab
and
go
as
opposed
to
like
an
indoor
meal
type
setting
and
our
digital
digital
literacy
programs
have
also
expanded
and
I'll
speak
on
that
a
little
bit.
So,
let's
dive
into
it,
we
really
do
care
about
our
resident
services
here.
So
our
first
oh
come
on.
Is
it
not
going
to
go?
This
is
not
going
to
there.
We
go
okay,
cool
all
right,
so
one
of
our
main
resident
services
is
the
family
self-sufficiency
program.
J
This
is
kind
of
a
big
umbrella
program.
That's
really
that's
introduced
to
people
as
soon
as
they
enter
one
of
our
housing
assistance
programs.
So
it's
a
voluntary
five-year
program
that
facilitates
upward
mobility.
The
idea
is
to
facilitate
self-sufficiency,
get
people
on
that
path
and
give
them
the
tools
they
need
to
reach
self-sufficiency
whatever
that
means
to
them.
J
So
the
way
it
works
is
our
fss
coordinators
work
with
the
clients,
that's
the
people
who
are
receiving
the
assistance
to
talk
to
them
and
develop
an
individualized
training
and
service
plan
to
outline
strengths,
weaknesses
and
goals,
so
they
really
meet
one-on-one
to
figure
out.
Where
are
you?
Where
do
you
want
to
be
what
the
self-sufficiency
look
like
to
you?
What
do
we
have
to
do
to
get
you
there?
J
What
are
some
challenges
you're
going
to
face,
and
then
they
also
work
with
them
to
figure
out
how
they
can
help
themselves
accountable
and
how
they're
going
to
track
their
progress?
So
fss
is
one
of
our
big
programs
to
really
meet
residents
where
they
are
and
help
them
create
a
plan
for
themselves.
You
know
with
the
assistance
with
the
you
know
the
support
of
the
housing
authority,
but
the
idea
is
to
really
you
know,
make
residents
create
that
plan
so
that
they
know
we're
not
just
taking
a
one-size-fits-all
approach.
J
J
More,
you
know
kind
of
more
social
work,
oriented
in
the
sense
that
it's
working
with
them
to
establish
their
needs,
their
plan,
that
kind
of
thing,
whereas
the
ros
coordinators
have
specific
goals
and
they
work
with
residents
to
determine
what
skills
they
want
to
hone
in
terms
of
financial
literacy,
re-entry
and
employment.
So
what
they'll
do
is
they'll
refer
residents
out
to
services.
J
They
think
that
they
could
benefit
them
or
bring
these
services
directly
to
the
communities
and,
like
a
great
example
of
a
ross
event
would
be-
and
this
was
pre-coveted,
of
course,
because
everyone
was
all
in
one
big
room
inside
was
the
dress
for
success
event
that
they
had
where
they
would.
They
brought
in
a
bunch
of
people
to
help
they
brought
in
a
cl.
J
One
of
those
closet
organizations
to
help
talk
about
professional
dress,
wear,
show
people
how
to
dress
for
an
interview
how
to
dress
professionally
and
give
people
that
skill,
because
you
know
that's
something
that
could
be
easily
overlooked
and
that
could
prevent
someone
from
getting
a
job.
So
it's
things
like
that
and
since
the
pandemic,
a
lot
of
these
things
have
moved
more.
Virtually
a
lot
of
digital.
J
Things
like
that,
but
they
are
working
towards
establishing
some
more
events,
some
employment
events
and
things
like
that.
So
that's
the
ross
program
and
then
another
big
employment
program
that
we
have
is
our
resident
employment
program.
So
we
really
invest
in
our
residence
in
that
sense,
so
we're
deeply
committed
to
making
sure
that
our
residents
and
our
voucher
holders
have
access
to
programs
that
lead
to
upper
mobility
and
a
higher
quality
of
life.
J
We
want
to
remove
as
many
barriers
as
possible
for
our
residents.
We
also
have
monthly
career
workshops
this
year.
It
was
in
september
a
couple
months
ago.
We
had
a
whole
online
career
fair
because
of
cove.
We
had.
We
couldn't
have
a
big
career,
fair
in
mind,
but
we
had
online.
There
were
digital
booths,
people
could
talk
to
the
employers
over
video
camera
was
very
exciting,
very,
very,
like
cutting
edge.
It
felt
like
so.
J
Making
sure
that
we
can
still
provide
these
programs
to
people
despite
the
challenges
that
the
copenhagen
pandemic
has
faced,
but
that's
only
a
few
of
those
our
resident
employment
coordinator,
lloyd,
wilson,
works
tirelessly,
he's
always
sending
me
flyers
with
different
employers,
with
different
programs
with
different
services,
to
really
connect
people
to
employment,
to
create
these
employment
programs
and
to
really
open
up
opportunities
for
residents.
So
that
way
they
can
get
that
employment.
It's
been
relatively
successful
in
2019
ajcp
helped
135
residents
gain
employment,
so
we're
very
excited
about
that.
J
2020
has
been
a
little
different.
What,
with
you
know
the
pandemic,
hitting
we
had
to
kind
of
rethink
a
lot
of
our
programs,
so
it's
been
lower,
but
people
still
have
been
engaging
with
the
resident
employment
program.
Lloyd
has
still
been
connecting
people
with
jobs,
he's
still
been
getting,
people
employed,
hasn't
been
a
he's,
had
more
challenges
than
in
the
past,
but
he's
been
able
to
do
it.
So
that's
the
resident
employment
program,
which
is
just
another
one
of
our
resident
services.
J
J
There
is
a
big
gap
in
access
and
digital
access,
both
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh
and
across
the
country
in
terms
of
a
low-income
residents
and
people
not
necessarily
having
the
access
to
wi-fi,
not
necessarily
having
the
digital
literacy
skills.
They
need
to
really
take
advantage
of
all
the
opportunities
and
resources
that
are
at
your
fingertips
when
you're
online.
J
J
We
also
had
some
programs
where
we
had
digital
literacy
classes,
and
if
you
completed
the
class,
you
could
get
a
device
and
things
like
that
we
were
working
to
bring
people
online,
but
you
know
with
the
kovid
19
pandemic,
hitting
these
efforts
really
became
critical,
because
now
getting
online
is
no
longer
just
something
important.
It
was.
You
know
essential
because
everything
moved
online
mass
migration
of
daily
life
online,
so
we
really
doubled
down
on
these
efforts
and
we
were
able
to
do
a
lot
of
really
cool
things.
J
We
worked
with
comcast
to
provide
wi-fi
to
our
residents.
We
worked
with
pittsburgh
public
schools
to
provide
devices
to
all
of
the
all
of
the
picture:
public
schools
with
students
living
in
ajcp
housing,
and
we,
you
know
expanded.
We
did
some
digital
literacy
classes,
so
we
really
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
brought
people
online
and
this
kind
of
the
cova
19
pandemic
really
accelerated
plans
we
already
had
and
then,
with
that
injection
of
cares,
act
funds
we
were
able
to
invest
in.
J
You
know
expanding
wi-fi
into
our
communities
and
these
devices
and
things
like
that.
We
bought
tablets
for
people
and
things
like
that
to
make
sure
that
we
had
lessons
on
telehealth
and
connecting
people
to
online
health
resources
and
things
like
that,
because
there
are
so
many
things
online
and
right
now,
everything's
online.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that
our
residents
had
as
much
access
to
those
things
as
me
and
everyone
else
in
the
city.
So,
in
terms
of
you
know
that
telehealth
so
clinical
coordination,
it's
another
service
that
we
provide.
J
So
what
does
clinical
coordination
look
like
at
hacp?
So
clinical
coordination
here
focuses
on
best
practices
and
linkage
case
management,
preliminary
assessments
and
the
coordination,
so
they,
the
coordinators,
support,
intensive
care
management,
referrals,
coronation
repair
and
other
divisions
of
rss.
So
what
what
does
all
this
look
like?
What
does
that
mean?
So
it
could
look
like
referring
someone
to
service
linkage
for
drug
and
alcohol
counseling.
J
It
could
look
like
connecting
them
with
mental
health,
counselor
or
the
center
for
victims
or
sending
them
over
to
deanna
in
homeownership
or
any
other
basic
needs.
The
staff,
the
clinical
coordination
staff
conducts
evaluations
and
assessments
to
connect
residents
to
appropriate
resources,
and
then
this
is
like
that
fsf,
so
that
one-on-one
support
before
referral
to
make
sure
that
so
the
coordinators
stop,
and
they
really
make
sure
that
they're
listening
to
what
the
residents
are
saying
that
they're,
really
honing
in
on
what
that
need,
is
and
then
very
and
then
referring
them
out.
J
J
So
another
big
way
that
we
invest
in
residents
is
our
youth
services.
There
are
a
lot
of
young
people
at
the
housing
authority
of
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
We
house
over
7
000
young
people
around
700
of
them
are
under
the
age
of
five,
and
you
know,
young
minds
are
precious.
Young
minds
are
impressionable,
they're
really
important,
and
we
take
that
very
seriously.
J
So
we
actively
seek
out
ways
that
we
can
expand
opportunities
for
these
young
residents
and
that
includes
working
with
partners
like
bhw
bjwl,
to
provide
on-site
after
school
services,
collaborating
with
the
duquesne
university
and
the
abk
early
childhood
learning
development
center,
which
I'll
talk
about
more
in
a
second
and
offering
an
interactive
and
audio
visual
training
at
the
creative
arts
corner,
as
well
as
our
clean
slate
programs.
So
I'll
talk
a
little
more
about
that
now.
J
So
one
of
the
big,
our
kind
of
crown
jewels
of
our
youth
services
is
the
abk
early
childhood
learning
and
development
center
at
bedford
dwellings.
So
that's
a
collaboration
with
abk,
as
well
as
the
duquesne
university
school
of
education,
and
what
that
is,
is
it's
a
24
7
child
care
center
in
bedford
dwellings
and
the
idea.
J
You
know
education
and
activities,
but
it's
also
the
structure
of
the
program
itself,
so
it's
24
7
and
they
provide
care
and
those
uncommon
hours
and
that's
a
big
deal
in
a
city
like
pittsburgh,
where
you
know
we
have
tons
of
healthcare
tons
of
service
industry
and
you
know
night
shifts
7p
to
7a.
That
can
be
a
very
common
thing
in
a
neighborhood
in
pittsburgh.
So
what
the
idea
is
is
to
make
sure
when
you're
working
those
night
night
shifts.
You
know,
you're
missing
a
lot
of
the
regular
hours
for
child
care.
J
That
can
either
mean
you
have
to
pay
extra
for
child
care.
You
can't
get
child
care.
It
can
make
it
harder
to
find
a
job.
It
can
make
it
harder
to
keep
a
job.
It
can
be
a
major
barrier
to
you
and
that's
why
we
made
sure
that
this
is
available
to
people
any
time
of
day.
So
I
would
say
I
do
have
one
of
those
night
shifts,
one
of
those
uncommon
shifts.
They
can
still
get
child
care,
and
that
was
a
really
big
part
of
this.
J
So
we
wanted
to
make
sure
there
was
a
really
great
way,
a
research-based
way
for
kids
to
engage
with
that.
So
we
haven't
our
new
nature-based
play.
Area
has
tubes
for
them
to
crawl
through
it
has
an
august
wilson
stage
for
them
to
put
on
their
own
little
plays,
and
we're
very
we're
very
excited
about
that.
So
that's
one
of
our
big
things
in
terms
of
youth
services
is
the
abk
early
childhood
learning
development
center,
it's
available
to
all
hscp
residents.
J
Some
of
our
other
programs
that
I
mentioned
these
earlier
is
the
creative
arts
corner,
which
has
two
locations
in
bedford,
dwellings
and
northern
heights.
So
what
this
does
is
it
offers
residents
a
free,
audio
visual
production
program,
so
they
can
learn
how
to
make
videos.
They
can
learn
how
to
produce
music.
They
can
learn
how
to
do
photography.
J
Things
like
that,
so
this
is
a
great
way
to
provide.
You
know.
Young
residents
with
a
way
to
express
themselves,
engage
in
something
pour
themselves
into
something
passionately,
but
more
than
that,
it
also
gives
people
an
opportunity
to
learn
a
trade.
So
if
people
are
interested
in
media
production,
if
they're
interested
in
going
into
music
or
any
of
these
things,
this
is
all
professional
grade.
Equipment
they'd
be
working
on,
so
they
can
learn
how
to
use
these
things.
How
do
you
use
this
equipment?
They
can
build
up
their
portfolio.
J
We
have
had
some
people
get
jobs
with
media
and
media
production
because
of
their
involvement
at
the
creative
arts
corner.
This
is
really
one
of
a
kind.
There
isn't
really
another
housing
authority
that
has
a
program
like
the
creative
arts
corner,
so
just
kind
of
another
way
that
we
are
finding
every
possible
way
to
support
our
residents
and
give
them
those
special
services
that
create
a
path
to
launch
and
another
big
thing
is
clean
site.
J
J
J
So
when
it
comes
down
to
it,
though
we
are
very
when
it
comes
to
resident
services,
we
leverage
every
single
resource
that
we
have
we
partner
with
every
single
person
we
can
across
the
city
to
bring
services
to
our
residents.
Investments
of
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
have
yielded
four
million
dollars
in
services
because
we
really
do
every
single
penny.
We
stretch
that
out
so
from
that
because
of
our
partnerships
with
allegheny,
the
county
department
of
health
and
human
services.
J
The
area
agency
on
aging
reading
is
fundamental
youth
places,
foreign
to
food,
rescue
gateway
health
plan.
So
many
more,
I
could
not
name
them
off
the
top
of
my
head.
I
swear
every
week,
I'm
posting
about
a
new
partnership.
We
really
do
seek
out
partnerships
to
leverage
our
resources
and
bring
services
to
our
residents
that
way
to
improve
their
quality
of
life
and
create
vibrant
communities
where
they
can
thrive
and
find
a
place
to
launch.
So
that
was
an
overview
of
our
resident
services.
L
Our
department
manages
major
rehabilitation
of
infrastructures
and
facilities.
We
also
are
involved
in
demolition
and
site
development,
as
well
as
non-routine
repairs
and
upgrades
of
the
housing
authority's
buildings
and
property
on
this
slide.
With
regard
to
development,
we're
showing
a
few
photos,
but
essentially
with
this
portion
of
our
department,
we're
focused
on
creating
sustainable,
viable
mixed
income
communities
and
over
the
next
10
years
we
do
have
planned
more
than
240
million
in
affordable
housing
development.
L
This
effort,
culminating
in
this
new
construction,
was
the
redevelopment
of
the
first
phase
of
redeveloping
allegheny
dwellings.
It
is
a
mixed
income
property
that
resulted
the
name
sandstone
quarry
actually
originates
from
prior
to
the
low-income
public
housing
being
built
there.
There
used
to
be
an
actual
quarry
on
that
site.
L
L
If
we
can
go
to
the
next
project
or
the
next
slide,
sorry,
okay,
okay
on
this
slide
you're
seeing
some
photos.
This
is
an
example
of
another
effort
that
we
actually
continue
to
work
on
and
we'll
get
into
it
in
a
little
more
detail
as
far
as
the
program
it's
emanating
from,
but
this
property
is
called
cornerstone
village.
L
Cornerstone
village
is
part
of
a
larger
effort
for
choice,
neighborhoods,
a
program
that
we
have
and
with
this
effort,
what
you're
seeing
are
well
and
actually
to
help
preface
it.
This
is
newer
development,
that's
located
in
the
neighborhoods
of
larimer
and
east
liberty,
if
you're
familiar
with
those
neighborhoods
in
the
east
end
of
pittsburgh
and.
L
Let
me
see
this
project
actually
earned
several
awards
as
well,
like
sandstone
quarry
with
the
you
know,
award
from
naro.
It
also
earned
an
award
of
excellence
related
to
not
just
design,
but
for
this
project
it
was
for
community
revitalization,
and
let's
see
this,
what
you're
seeing
is
actually
phases
one
and
two
of
what
is
going
to
be
a
four-phase
development
and
it's
more
than
just
a
development.
It's
actually
a
revitalization
of
a
neighborhood
and
so
we'll
get
into
that
in
a
little
bit
more
detail.
L
But
within
that
concept
it
enables
us
to
leverage
public
and
private
resources
to
transform
communities
and
and
create
these
mixed
income
environments,
which,
if
you're
unclear
on
what
mixed
income
is
literally
the
residents
that
may
reside
at
that
property
may
may
have
income
that
could
fall
into
different
categories.
Some
residents
may
be
low
income,
there
may
be
residents
residing
there,
they're,
actually
market
rate
units
and
the
idea
is-
or
they
may
be,
receiving
some
other
assistance.
But
the
idea
is
the
property
is
one
that
is
not
just
for
low
income.
L
L
L
So
for
a
program
like
this,
it's
a
little
different
than
traditional
redevelopment.
Where
you
know
the
housing
authority
may
have
an
older
property
and
want
to
redevelop.
This
involves
more
than
just
housing
authority
property.
It
involves
a
a
larger
partnership
of
the
housing
authority
and
many
other
partners
that
I
mean
there's
so
many
to
mention,
but
at
least
for
larimer,
east
liberty,
for
example.
It
involves
the
housing
authority,
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
the
urban
redevelopment
authority,
the
pittsburgh
public
schools.
It
involves,
I
believe,
non-profits
and
you
know,
there's
a
litany
of
resources.
L
L
L
L
It
is
a
program
that
is
through
hud.
It
has
three
core
goals:
housing,
which
is
to
revitalize
severely
distressed,
public
and
or
assisted
housing,
but
it
also
has
a
people
component
with
that
goal.
It's
for
to
provide
support
for
positive
outcomes
for
residents
for
health
safety,
employment,
mobility
and
education,
and
then
the
third
goal
is
the
neighborhood
to
transform
distressed
neighborhoods
into
viable
mixed
income
neighborhoods
with
access
to
services,
public
assets
and
amenities.
L
Before
we
just
go
to
the
next
slide
with
regard
to
the
hill
district,
the
housing
authority
did
win
a
500
000
grant
for
planning
and
we
did
a
accomplish,
creating
a
choice,
neighborhood
transformation
plan
and
that
would
pertain
to
the
property
we
have
in
the
hill
district.
It's
low-income
public
housing
called
bedford
dwellings.
You
might
recall
from
earlier
in
the
presentation
that
was
one
of
the
first
properties
built
by
the
housing
authority
when
it
was
created.
It
is
it's
very
old:
it's
like
eric
style,
housing,
housing.
L
We
are
embarking
on
a
an
effort
to
whether
we
win
another
30
million
dollar
implementation
grant
or
by
other
means,
actually
move
forward
on
redeveloping,
not
just
the
existing
property
that
we
owned
there,
but
in
partnership
with
many
other
entities
similar
to
larimer
nice
liberty
actually
do
some
neighborhood
revitalization
in
that
area.
If
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide,.
L
L
You
know
quality
control,
it's
that
in-house
technical
expertise
that
that
we
perform
for
all
the
projects
we're
involved
in
if
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
we're
going
to
move
on
from
the
department
that
I
work
in,
because
I
can
talk
all
day
about
that
and
let's
talk
about
how
how
folks
do
business
with
the
housing
authority.
So
this
involves
you
know
the
nature
of
procurement,
the
housing
authority
for
for
doing
business
with
us.
L
The
housing
authority
has
the
capability
to
engage
with
potential
vendors
through
its
website,
and
you
know
we
have
a
robust.
You
know
procurement
system
for
all
the
goods
and
services
that
the
agency
is
looking
for
and
normally
what
we
do
with
vendors
or
prospective
vendors
is
ask
them
essentially
to
register
on
the
website.
They
can
receive
auto
notifications
and
keep
tabs
on
what's
going
on
with
projects
from
the
time
they're
advertised
to
when
they
get
awarded,
and
and
what
have
you
next
slide?
Please.
L
This
slide
just
goes
into
the
various
types
of
procurement
that
the
agency
does.
Essentially,
though,
all
the
goods
and
services
that
the
housing
authority
acquires
is
done
through
competitive
procurements
for
the
most
part
and
those
goods
and
services
can
range.
To
I
mean
anything
you
can
think
of
that
the
housing
authority
may
need
for
its
properties
the
construction
that
it
does
down
to
even
office
supplies.
L
So
this
gets
into
various
types
of
procurements.
Given
the
regulatory
rules,
we
have
to
follow
for
how
we
acquire
those
services
and
part
of
that
process
also
does
include
having
special
participation
such
as
minority
women-owned,
business,
disadvantaged
businesses
and
even
resident
owned
businesses.
The
housing
authority
will
will
work
with
as
well.
L
Okay,
I
jumped
in
a
little
bit
with
regard
to
the
special
participation
we
have
goals
related
to
that
that
we
try
to
achieve
as
well,
so
anytime
we're
doing
business
with
somebody.
You
know
we
look
to
if
that
vendor
itself
is
not
minority
or
women
owned,
or
what
have
you
that
that
effort,
they're
going
to
participate
in
does
include
some
participation
from
those
entities
as
well
next,
one
okay.
So
now
this
is,
you
know
just
displaying
the
large
dollar
value
of
efforts.
L
J
L
J
Yeah
yeah:
this
is
just
the
end
now,
so
thank
you,
sunshine,
so
I'll
pop
back
and
take
it
back
over
yeah.
So
that's
everything!
That's
the
housing
authority
of
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
I
know
we
don't
have
tons
of
time,
but
if
you
have
any
questions,
please
ask
us
and
if
leah
can
also
give
you
my
contact
info
as
well.
B
F
L
J
L
I
don't,
but
if
it
helps
at
all
many
of
those
elderly
you
know,
facilities
may
actually
be
located
within
a
larger
family
community
as
well.
So
while
the
structure,
the
unit
itself
that
they
may
live
in
may
be
with
other
seniors
or
disabled
folks,
they
may
be
located
within
the
community,
a
family
community
and
a
lot
of
the.
I
believe
activities
and
you
know,
experiences
that
they
would
have.
J
If
that
helps
okay,
north
you
have
to
build
off
what
she
said.
Northview
heights
is
like
the
perfect
example
of
that,
because
it's
not
just
actually
north
your
highest.
I
don't
know
if
you've
been
to
north
view
heights,
but
it
seems
like
it's
one,
big
community,
but
there's
actually,
two
communities,
there's
the
family
community
and
then
right
in
the
middle
there's,
the
northview
heights
high
rise
and
actually
most
of
the
community
events
in
that
community
in
that
neighborhood
northeast
heights
are
either
in
the
rise
or
like
right
outside
it.
J
So
we
do
make
an
effort
to
make
sure
that
our
residents
aren't
isolated
with
you
know,
for
example,
with
covid,
and
recently
we
had
movie
nights
to
make
sure
that
people
could
have
like
social
things
and
stuff.
But
that's
a
good
point.
So
thank
you
for
thank
you
for
asking.
That
was
a
good
question.
K
We
do
by
annual
re-certifications,
where
residents
have
to
provide
updated
income,
re-verify
their
family
composition
and
other
eligibility
standards.
However,
you
know
with
our
process.
Lease
termination
is
strictly
kept
for
violations
of
the
lease
non-payment
of
rent
or
social
infractions
that
would
jeopardize
the
health
and
safety
of
those
living
in
the
immediate
community.
J
We
are
moving
to
work
agency
which
gives
us
more
flexibility
in
terms
of
like
service
programming
and
things
like
that,
but
in
terms
of
determining
eligibility
and
like
the
definition
of
market
rate
and
stuff,
we
don't
have
much
flexibility
on
that
now.
The
city
in
theory
could
take
some
legal
action
like,
for
example,
the
city.
I
believe
a
couple
years
ago
did
pass
a
law
to
make
it
so
landlords
could
not
refuse
a
housing
choice
voucher,
but
just
like
that
law.
J
J
So
really,
the
solution
for
that
kind
of
issue
would
be
at
the
larger
levels,
which
is
actually
kind
of
something
that
you
come
across
a
lot
when
it
comes
to
public
housing
authorities,
not
just
in
pittsburgh
but
across
the
country
is
because
so
much
of
the
fact
the
policy
is
set
at
the
federal
level.
There's
only
so
much
that
can
be
done
locally.
B
G
Thank
you.
So
it
was
really
good
to
hear
about
some
recent
innovations
and
some
of
the
technology.
You
know
related
programs,
you
know
available
to
residents.
Thank
you
for
those
within
scattered
and
within
the
the
focus
on
scattered
and
mixed
income
housing
though
it
would
seem
that
as
communities
are
are
rebuilt,
you
know
with
you
know,
for
example,
allegheny
dwellings.
J
So
I
I
don't
know
if
anthony
or
sunshine
wants
to
jump
in,
but
what
I
can
say
is
when
we
do
redevelop
or
rehabilitate
a
community
the
residents
there
are
giving
the
right
of
first
return.
So
they're,
given
they're,
guaranteed
the
right
to
return
to
a
unit
in
the
same
community
and
if
they
choose
not
to
we
also
pay
to
help.
J
We
also
provide
them
with
a
stipend
to
find
a
new
place
to
live,
and
we
help
we
also
put
them
up
while
they
are
gone,
so
that
is,
we
have
a
whole
counselor
for
it
we're
doing
a
manchester
redevelopment
I
was
at.
It
was
warm
out
still
so
it
was
outside
information
session.
A
lot
of
people
were
asking
questions.
We
have
a
specific
person
who
works
with
residents
to
create
their
plan
and
make
sure
that
their
concerns
are
met.
J
But
that
is
something
that
we,
because
I
mean
you
know
with
lots
of
history
and
just
concerns
about
displacement.
That's
something
that's
on
the
front
of
a
lot
of
people's
minds
and
that's
something
that
we
do
really
make
sure
that
everyone
who
wants
to
move
back
into
the
community
can
and
if
they
don't
or
let's
say,
they're
not
able
to.
We
find
them
suitable
replacement,
housing.
L
So
there
are
projects
occurring
that
may
have
its
own
developer
and,
if
not
for
partnering
with
us,
they
may
not
be
able
to
bring
their
project
to
fruition.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
we
housing
authority
may
not
actually
own
that
property.
Their
developers
are
building
new,
but
they
may
partner
with
us
and
as
part
of
what
they're
building
there
may
be.
For
example,
they
may
agree
to
occupy
some
of
their
units
with
vouchers
that
the
housing
authority
may
issue.
L
I
hope
I'm
explaining
that
right,
anthony,
but
overall,
my
perspective
is
the
there's
a
big
transformation
occurring
with
regards
to
housing.
So
where
you
know
some
of
the
older
housing
may
be
coming
down
and
then
new
is
coming
up
and
it
may
be
mixed.
There
are
a
lot
of
other
activities
that
are
happening
as
well.
It's
like
morphing,
but
our
trajectory
right
now.
As
far
as
what
the
housing
authority
is
building
is
it's
its
unit.
L
K
M
Oh
yes,
yeah
yeah.
I
think
I
think
you
guys
may
have
answered
my
most
of
my
question
and
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
was
just
wondering
about
the
you
were
saying
earlier
about
about
there
being
need
for
bids
being
placed
for
development
in
areas,
and
I
I
guess
I
was
my
initial.
I
was
wondering
initially
if
that
was
the
only
way
that
that
the.
M
L
L
L
You
know,
for
example,
the
what
I
mentioned
a
little
bit
ago,
looking
for
developers
who
have
projects
they're
trying
to
build
that,
and
they
would
be
interested
in
partnering
with
us.
You
know
in
in
the
one
example
where
you
know
they
may
build
their
building,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day
we
we
don't
have
ownership
interests,
but
through
our
partnership
we
may
provide
vouchers
project-based
vouchers
so
that
tenants
their
housing
there.
It
provides
an
opportunity
for
our
client
base,
but
for
the
most
part,
everything
is
through
a
competitive
procurement.
L
The
housing
authority
also
does
partner,
especially
it
may
have
special
partnerships
with
local
local
entities
such
as
the
city
or
you
know,
other
types
of
institutions,
but
for
like
goods
and
services.
You
know
construction
development
stuff
like
that.
For
the
most
part,
everything
is
competitively
procured
when
the
housing
authority
is
hiring
directly
and
let's
say
it
already-
has
a
developer.
It's
hired
that
developer
then
may
do
further
on
procurements
itself.
H
I
just
want
to
come
back
and
thank
you
all
for
your
presentations,
but
I
have
addressed
privately
to
some
of
the
speakers
and
like
to
bring
it
to
the
public
here
on
this
format,
to
the
group
of
the
need
of
trying
to
consider
that
people
who
have
what
I
call
different
abilities
and
having
inclusion,
because
what
you
have.
What
I
have
seen
on
the
presentations
is
sometimes
the
visual
impairments.
H
I
J
Yeah
absolutely-
and
I
I
didn't
quite
realize
what
you
meant
when
you
mentioned
me,
but
absolutely
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
do
and
I
run
the
social
media
is
we
do
try
to
live
stream
as
many
events
as
we
can
to
kind
of
broaden
the
accessibility
for
that,
but
you're
right,
we
can
always
do
better.
So
that's
something
that
we
definitely
will
keep
more
in
mind.
H
And
maybe
you
could
offer
some
trainings
for
staff
and
other
people
to
learn
about
the
etiquette
of
doing
these
kind
of
presentations,
so
things
won't
be
so
overwhelming,
because
even
in
this
presentation,
I'm
very
sometimes
very
difficult
to
enter
into
a
chat
and
go
prints
and
find
questions
to
ask.
As
you
present
your
information,
so
you
still
have
to
have
a
certain
timing
and
you
still
have
to
stay
focused
on
the
present
information
that
you're
given.
H
B
B
All
right,
okay,
I'm
gonna,
give
anthony
jp
and
sunshine
a
clap
reaction
for
their
time
tonight.
Thank
you
so
much
for
joining
us.
If
there
are
any
outstanding
questions,
feel
free
to
send
them
along
to
me,
and
I
can
work
with
the
housing
authority
to
get
some
answers.
I
can
put
those
on
engage
pgh.
