Residents may see project staff and crews conducting planning work around Hylan Houses. Activity affecting a unit will be announced in advance.
Technico-STV or Preservation Logistics staff may walk grounds and common areas to assess existing conditions.
Preservation Logistics will conduct unit relocation-needs assessments, while Technico-STV may perform announced testing in common areas or vacant units.
Look for posted notices in lobbies and on bulletin boards. Residents will be notified before activity that specifically affects their unit.
The resident presentation explains protections that continue through the planned conversion.
Residents generally continue to pay 30% of adjusted gross household income toward rent, subject to listed exceptions, and do not pay additional fees, charges or utility expenses greater than they currently pay.
The Trust will pay moving expenses for temporary relocation during construction, and residents have the right to return to their original apartment after a temporary move.
The presentation states that resident rights are retained, Trust Section 8 leases automatically renew annually unless terminated for good cause, and residents retain grievance-hearing and organizing rights.
