Items of Information: Hildebrandt's black top will be finished in the Spring. Doing final

not reporting income and when that income is found the resident usually owes substantial
retro rent amounts.
Davis Bacon: Mt. Vernon wage violation, we are working closely with HUD to clear up this
matter, a wage investigation has been completed and communication with Detroit HUD
and MOD Coordinator is on going.
