Jorge M. Gonzalez City Manager SUBJECT: ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION Adopt the Resolution. ANALYSIS The City administers the Multi-Family Housing Rehabilitation Program through the Housing Division of the Community and Economic Development Department. Since 1981, the City has provided financial assistance to property owners through this Program resulting in the successful renovation of over 1,250 units of rental housing. The Multi-Family Housing Rehabilitation Program operates with federal funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. The Program Guidelines, adopted by the Mayor and City Commission on July 16, 1997, require that buildings rehabilitated thereunder be maintained in rental use for at least five (5) years. The proposed Matching Grant Agreement with the property owner includes stipulations requiring repayment to the City of the full amount of the Grant in case the owner fails to perform the requirements ofthe Agreement. On January 31, 2000, the City issued a HOME Program Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) in the amount of$1,181,653 for the acquisition and/or rehabilitation of multi-family rental buildings or scattered site units for the purpose of providing affordable rental housing. On July 26, 2000, the f:\DDHP'lSALLlMlGUELLI1945 CALAIS DRIVE _ MEMO.DCX: AGENDA ITEM C 7';v 5' -/h-CJ/ DATE May 16,2001 Commission Memorandum 1945 Calais Drive Page 2 Mayor and City Commission approved funding for the application from the Florida Fair Housing Corporation in the amount of $399,800 towards the acquisition of The Waterway Village, a ten unit apartment building located at 1945 Calais Drive, Miami Beach. The ten unit building will provide two one-bedroom units, four two-bedroom units, and four three-bedroom units. In accordance with the HOME Program requirements, the Florida Fair Housing Corporation will provide these rental units for income-eligible tenants for a period of ten (10) years after the rehabilitation is completed. 1945 Calais Drive - Funding Recommended: $105,000 The apartments at 1945 Calais Drive consist of a two-story building, with four (4) three-bedroom units, four (4) two-bedroom units, and two (2) one-bedroom units. The building was constructed in 1956 as an apartment building. The architecture of the structure is Post War Modem. The property is not considered architecturally significant and is not included in the City's register of historic buildings. The building is not over 50 years of age and does not require review by the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO). The building is a concrete block structure with approximately 8,536 square feet of enclosed space. The site consists of Lot 15 and the west 10 feet of Block 44, NORMANDY WATER WAY SUBDIVISION, according to the plat thereof recorded in Plat Book 40 at Page 60, of the Public Records of Miami-Dade County, Florida, also known as 1945 Calais Drive. The lot is 70' x 147' and contains 10,290 square feet, more or less. The Owner proposes to rehabilitate the building, maintaining \he same basic layout, whielt pl'tWidei!- an average of 853 square feet per living unit. The Owner has estimated the cost of rehabilitation to be $274,354, including labor, material, contingency, architectural and related fees. The scope of work proposed includes the following: installation of new cabinets, kitchen and bathroom, concrete and block repair, bathrooms, drywall repair and texturing, replacement of doors, interior and exterior, replacement of all electrical systems to meet code, replacement of floor coverings, tile and wood, fencing, handicap accessibility for unit # I, installation of central air conditioning, replacement of laundry machines, replacement of mirrors and medicine cabinets, repair and painting of exterior of the building, replacement of plumbing, replacement of the roof, painting of the interior, installation of the bathroom tile, repair of windows, and landscaping. In November of2000, the property was appraised at $500,000. Utilizing this price as market value, the construction cost estimate of$274,354 represents 55 percent of the market value of the land and building before the rehabilitation. The Owner has received $399,800 of HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program funds from the City for the acquisition of the property. Therefore, eight (8) ofthe ten (10) units in the building may be rented at High HOME Rents, and at least two (2) of the units must be rented at Low HOME Rents, for a period often (10) years starting at completion of the rehabilitation and occupancy of the units. Currently, the approved U.S. HUD High HOME rates are: $719 for a three-bedroom unit, $630 for a two-bedroom unit, and $523 for a one-bedroom unit; and Low HOME rates are $580 for a three-bedroom unit and $501 for a two-bedroom unit. F:\DDHP\SALLIMIGUELLII9-lS CALAIS DRIVE - MEMO,DOC May 16,2001 Commission Memorandum 1945 Calais Drive Page 3 At the completion of the HOME Affordability Period, there will be an additional five year affordability period in accordance with the terms of the Multi-Family Housing Rehabilitation Program. The rent for six (6) of the apartments (60 percent of the units) will be subject to restrictions mandated by the Program guidelines. For a period offive (5) years, these six (6) units rented to tenants earning 80 percent or less of the Area Median Income, currently $28,550 for a family of two. The rents are to be established in accordance with the CDBG Program Rent schedule as issued by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for apartments. Currently, the U.S. HUD approved net rents under this schedule are: $915 for a three-bedroom unit, $663 for a two-bedroom unit, and $531 for a one-bedroom unit. The remaining four (4) apartments may be leased at market rents without restriction. An analysis of the proposed expense ratios indicates that the proposed rent levels should adequately cover the anticipated operating expenses ofthe property as projected by the Owner. At the request of the City, the Florida Fair Housing Corporation applied to Miami-Dade County for $275,000 to rehabilitate the property. The Miami-Dade County Office of Community and Economic Development notified the Florida Fair Housing Corporation that funding was not available. Therefore, the Owner has applied to the City's Multi-Family Housing Rehabilitation Program for a matching grant for the rehabilitation of the property. In accordance with the Multi-Family Housing Rehabilitation Guidelines, the owner has agreed to provide a match of $169,354 towards the rehabilitation of the property. On March 30, 2001, the City's Loan Review Committee (LRC) met and reviewed the application for funding for this property and voted to recommend approval by the Mayor and City Commission. The LRC recommended a Matching Grant of $1 05,000 towards the rehabilitation costs for this property. Under the Program Guidelines, the maximum matching grant that this property can qualify for is $40,000 (based on: 4 units x $12,500 for three-bedroom units, 4 units x $10,000 per unit for two- bedroom, and 2 units x $7,500 for one-bedroom units for a total of $1 05,000). A review of City and County records for the property indicates that there are no unpaid water or sanitation bills and taxes are paid for the current year. In accordance with the Program Guidelines, the rehabilitation proposed will bring the property into compliance with the City's Property Maintenance Standards. Currently, there are seven (7) tenants and three (3) vacant units in the building. Owner has estimated that no relocation will be necessary.

The regulation was issued under sections 1012 and 1013 of the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992, which is Title X (ten) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992. Sections 1012 and 1013 of Title X amended the Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act of 1971, which is the basic law covering lead-based paint in federally associated housing. The regulation sets hazard reduction requirements that give much greater emphasis to reducing lead in house dust. Scientific research has found that exposure to lead in dust is the most common way young children become lead poisoned. Therefore, the new regulation requires dust testing after paint is disturbed to make sure the home is lead-safe. Specific requirements depend on whether the housing is being disposed of or assisted by the federal government, and also on the type and amount of fmancial assistance, the age of the structure, and whether the dwelling is rental or owner occupied. PROPERTY EXEMPT FROM LEAD-BASED PAINT REGULATION. . Housing built since January I, 1978, when lead paint was banned for residential use . Housing exclusively for the elderly or people with disabilities, unless a child under age 6 is expected to reside there . Zero-bedroom dwellings, including efficiency apartments, single-room occupancy housing, dormitories or military barracks . Property that has been found to be free of lead-based paint by a certified lead-based paint inspector . Property where all lead-based paint has been removed 4 . Unoccupied housing that will remain vacant until demolished . Non-Residential property . Any rehabilitation or housing improvement that does not disturb a painted surface TYPES OF HOUSING SUBJECT TO 24 CFR 35 . Federally-Owned housing being sold . Housing receiving a federal subsidy that is associated with the property, rather than with the occupants (project-based assistance) . Public housing . Housing occupied by a family (with a child) receiving tenant-based subsidy (such as a voucher or certificate) . Multifamily housing for which mortgage insurance is being sought . Housing receiving federal assistance for rehabilitation, reducing homelessness, and other special needs If you want copies of the regulation or have general questions, you can call the National Lead Information Center at (800) 424-LEAD, or TOD (800) 526-5456 for the hearing impaired. You can also download the regulation and other educational materials at www.hud.gov/lea. For further information, you may call HUD at (202) 755-1785, exl. 104, or e-mail HUD at lead regulations@,hud.gov. d) After the Project, and the property herein, has been rehabilitated, it must conform to the applicable codes, ordinances and statutes of the City and of Miami-Dade County, including, but not limited to, the South Florida Building Code, the Zoning Ordinance, and the Property Maintenance Standards.

Low and moderate income households means the combined income of all members of the household does not exceed 80% of the Area Median Income, as published by HUD. All tenants must be offered a written lease. A "Household Income Certification Report" will have to be completed for every rental unit claimed as meeting the above requirements at least annually.

The following income limits apply as of this date, but may be revised annually: I person 2 persons 3 persons 4 persons $25,000 $28,550 $32,100 $35,700 Monthly rents for units occupied by low and moderate income households are considered affordable if they do not exceed the "40th Percentile Fair Market Rents for Existing Housing", published by HUD, as of this date, but subject to revision annually. Currently the rent for a one bedroom apartment is $571, including a utility allowance of$40 per month, for a net rent of$531 per month excluding utilities; the rent for a two-bedroom apartment is $712 per month, which includes a $49 per month utility allowance, for a net of $663 per month, and the rent for a three-bedroom apartment is $978 per month, which includes a $63 per month utility allowance, for a net of $915 per month. 5 (12) It is understood by Owner that if the Project is converted to condominiums, sold, or withdrawn from rental use within five (5) years after the Final Certificate of Completion is issued, the full amount of the Matching Grant payment will become immediately due and payable to the City.
