Public Reporting Burden

Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average .5 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. This information is required to obtain benefits. HUD may not collect this information, and you are not required to complete this form, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

Title V of the Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban Development and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act of 1988 (P.L. 106-65, 111 Stat. 1384) authorizes the FHA Multifamily Housing Mortgage and Housing Assistance Restructuring Program. HUD implemented a statutory permanent program directed at FHA-insured multifamily projects that have project-based Section 8 contracts with above-market rents. The information collection is used to determine criteria eligibility of FHA-insured multifamily properties for participation in the Mark to Market program and the terms on which participation should occur. The purpose of the program is to preserve low-income rental housing affordability while reducing the long-term costs of Federal rental assistance. While no assurances of confidentiality are pledged to respondents, HUD generally discloses this data only in response to a Freedom of Information request.

The Renewal Contract as amended by this Addendum includes the following Exhibits that are checked:

Exhibit A1: Identification of Units (Contract Units) by Size and Applicable
Contract Rents;

Exhibit A2: Identification of Units (Contract Units) by Size and Applicable
Contract Rents after Capital Repairs and/or Acquisition;

Exhibit C: Reserved

Additional Exhibits: (Specify any additional Exhibits if applicable)

1. Initial Rents. Except as otherwise provided herein, Contract Rents shall be as provided in Exhibit A1 attached hereto.

2. Rents after Capital Repairs. The Owner will make capital repairs to the Project’s dwelling units in accordance with the Owner’s proposal, specifically that portion of the proposal captioned Scope of Work, as used to determine the Contract Rents in Exhibit A2 (the “Scope of Work”). Such repairs shall be referred to throughout this Addendum as the “Capital Repairs.” Until acceptance by HUD of the Capital Repairs, and until cost certification, if applicable (see section 11 of this Addendum), the Contract Rents shall continue to be those provided in Exhibit A1. If HUD accepts the Capital Repairs, the Contract Rents shall be as provided in Exhibit A2. In this event, the Contract Rents as provided in Exhibit A2 shall be effective on the first day of the month following the date of HUD’s written notification to the Owner that the Capital Repairs are accepted, as provided in section 8. b. of this Addendum. Thereafter, all subsequent adjustments to Contract Rents shall be determined in accordance with the provision of the Renewal Contract governing Contract Rent adjustments.

3. Compliance with Applicable State and Federal Requirements. The Owner hereby certifies that the Capital Repairs are permissible under the applicable State or local zoning and housing codes, ordinances or regulations as modified by any waivers obtained from the appropriate officials. The Owner further agrees to repair and substantially rehabilitate the Project to meet all applicable local standards, including as applicable the following:

1. State and local building codes, ordinances and regulations;

2. Standards set forth in the Project Capital Needs Assessment;

3. Economic Opportunities at 24 CFR Part 135;

4. Handicapped Accessibility Guidelines at 24 CFR Part 41;

5. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973;

6. Lead-Based Paint Requirements at 24 CFR Part 35;

7. Equal Employment Opportunity Regulations (for contracts in excess of

$10,000) at 41 CFR Chapter 60;

8. Any conditions imposed by HUD pursuant to regulations at 24 CFR Part 50 and/or 51; and

9. The relocation plan or statement prepared pursuant to any HUD
   requirements or the Uniform Acquisition Policies Act of 1970.

4. Date for Commencement of Capital Repairs. The Date for Commencement of the Capital Repairs shall not be more than _________________ calendar days from the date on which the Renewal Contract begins, as provided in section 2a of the Renewal Contract (referred to in this Addendum as “the effective date of the Renewal Contract”).

5. Date for Completion of Capital Repairs. The Date for Completion of the Capital Repairs shall not be more than 365 calendar days from the Date for Commencement of the Capital Repairs referred to in the preceding section. Consistent with section 2 of this Addendum, in the event that the Capital Repairs are not completed and accepted by HUD by the date referred to in the preceding sentence, the Contract Rents provided in Exhibit A1 will remain in effect until the first day of the month following the date of HUD’s written notification to the Owner that the Capital Repairs are accepted, as provided in section 8.b. of this Addendum.

6. Flood Insurance. Provided that the Project is located in an area that has been identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as an area having special flood hazards, and provided further that if the sale of flood insurance has been made available under the National Flood Insurance Program, the Owner agrees that the Project will be covered during the life of the Project by flood insurance in an amount at least equal to its development or project cost (less estimated land cost) or to the limit of coverage made available with respect to the particular type of property under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, whichever is less. In the event that the foregoing two conditions are satisfied, the Owner further agrees that it will advise any prospective purchaser or transferee of the property in writing, prior to any such purchase or transfer, of the continuing requirement pursuant to this section to maintain such flood insurance during the life of the property.

7. Review and Inspection. The Owner or an architect employed or engaged by the Owner must inspect the Capital Repairs for acceptable completion. The inspection must be sufficient to enable the inspector to report that he/she has inspected the observable elements and features of the Capital Repairs (for both assisted and unassisted units) in accordance with professional standards of care and judgment and that, on the basis of the inspection, the Capital Repairs have been completed in accordance with the Scope of Work and this Addendum and that there were no observable conditions inconsistent with the Completion Evidence, as defined in section 8 of this Addendum. The results of the inspection must be evidenced by a written report (the “Report”), which the Owner agrees to submit to HUD. HUD may, within 30 calendar days of receiving the Report, perform an inspection of its own prior to accepting the Capital Repairs to determine whether there are any defects or deficiencies in the Capital Repairs that preclude or materially affect occupancy.

8. Capital Repair Completion and Acceptance by HUD. The Owner will notify HUD of completion of the Capital Repairs by submitting to HUD (i) a certificate of occupancy and any other local approvals necessary for occupancy (the “CO”); and (ii) a certification by the Owner or Owner’s architect that there are no defects or deficiencies in the Capital Repairs except for (a) ordinary punch list items, and/or (b) items of delayed completion that are minor in nature or that are incomplete because of weather conditions and that do not preclude or materially affect occupancy (the “Certification”). The CO and the Certification shall be referred to collectively as the “Completion Evidence.” The Owner agrees that its submission of the Completion Evidence is a certification as to compliance with the applicable State and Federal requirements stated in section 3 of this Addendum.

1. If, after review of the Completion Evidence and any inspection of the Capital Repairs pursuant to section 7 of this Addendum, HUD determines that the Capital Repairs have been completed according to this Addendum, HUD shall accept the Capital Repairs.

2. If HUD accepts the Capital Repairs, the Owner will be notified in writing of this decision. If there are punch list items that do not preclude or materially affect occupancy and if all other requirements of this Addendum have been met, the Capital Repairs shall still be accepted.

3. If defects or deficiencies exist, other than punch list items, HUD will determine whether and, if so, the extent to which the defects or deficiencies are correctable and the corrective actions necessary to permit acceptance of the Capital Repairs. In addition, HUD will determine whether and, if so, the extent to which the Contract Rents should be reduced as a condition of acceptance.

i. If HUD determines that corrective actions are necessary to permit acceptance of the Capital Repairs, HUD will notify the Owner of such determination and the corrective actions necessary for acceptance of the Capital Repairs in writing. If the Owner fails to correct such defects or deficiencies, HUD shall not accept the Capital Repairs.

ii. If HUD determines that the Contract Rents must be adjusted as a condition of acceptance of the Capital Repairs, HUD shall require the Contract Administrator to reevaluate and revise the comparable market rents based on the actual work completed. If the reevaluated comparable market rents exceed the Contract Rents as provided in Exhibit A2, the Contract Administrator will set the rents at market. HUD will provide written notification to the Owner of this determination, the reason for the determination, and the resulting rents.

iii. If HUD determines that the Capital Repairs cannot be accepted, the owner will be notified of this decision in writing.

9. Projects Subject to an FHA-Insured or HUD-Held Loan. In the case of a project subject to an FHA-Insured or HUD-held loan, the provisions of the applicable mortgage insurance program in place at the time that the Capital Repairs commence shall also apply. In the event of a conflict between this Addendum and the applicable mortgage insurance program provisions, the mortgage insurance provisions shall govern.

10. Cost Certification for Owners Renewing under Option Two. In the case of a Renewal Contract issued under Option Two of the Section 8 Renewal Guide, the Owner will, upon completion of the Capital Repairs, submit to HUD a simplified form of cost certification establishing that the costs support the increase in Contract Rents as provided by Exhibit A2. This requirement shall apply regardless of whether the Project is HUD-insured. Except as provided below, the form to be used for the cost certification is Form HUD-92330 (“Mortgagor’s Certificate of Actual Cost”). If a cost plus construction contract was used or if an identity of interest exists between the Owner and the general contractor, the form to be used is Form HUD-92330-A (“Contractor’s Certificate of Actual Cost”). An accountant's opinion is not needed. If HUD accepts the Capital Repairs, HUD will determine in accordance with applicable requirements whether, and the extent to which, the certified costs support an increase in Contract Rents. If HUD determines that the certified costs do not support an increase in Contract Rents, the Owner must submit a new budget reflecting the approved costs, as determined by HUD, and HUD shall direct the Contract Administrator to implement the resulting rents. HUD, or the Contract Administrator will provide written notification to the Owner of this determination, the reason for the determination, and the resulting rents.
