Regulatory Period. The Owner, for a period of five (5) years from project completion (“Regulatory Period”), shall take all necessary steps to ensure that the property improved under the Program is maintained in good condition. Residential units improved under the Program that become vacant during the Regulatory Period must be marketed, and made affordable, to persons of low income, which is defined as persons and families whose incomes do not exceed ninety percent (90%) of the median income for the metropolitan statistical area in which the properties are located. This requirement is met through a rent limit imposed on the assisted units during the Regulatory Period. Annual Rent Limit tables are prepared by NYS Homes and Community Renewal (“HCR”). It is essential that Owners ensure that their properties remain free of lead hazards after compliance has been documented. The Owner agrees to maintain paint in all residential spaces using lead-safe work practices for the five year Regulatory Period. The Owner or a representative should visually assess the property on a routine basis, and whenever the occupant reports loose, peeling or damaged paint. The property owner may elect to hire a lead inspector to perform this assessment. The Owner of a property improved under the Program (“Assisted Property”) will be required to execute a Declaration, in the form attached as Attachment D, which shall be filed in the County Clerk’s Office for the county in which the Assisted Property is located. The Owner agrees to maintain the Assisted Property in compliance with the terms of this Grant Agreement, throughout the Regulatory Period. The Owner shall further declare that in the event of any non-compliance or sale of the property, the amount of grant funds distributed shall be subject to repayment, the amount of which shall be calculated and determined in accordance with an annual declining balance method based upon the five (5) year enforcement period, as shown on the Declaration. The Owner further acknowledges and agrees that the LPA shall have the right, pursuant to its agreement with the HTFC, to inspect the Assisted Property to monitor the Owner’s compliance with this requirement.
