Board plans targeted outreach to condo property managers to inform compliance strategy
Summary
Board members agreed to run informal technical interviews with a handful of local condo property-management firms (not condo boards) to learn how the Healthy Buildings ordinance would affect condo stock and to shape outreach and equity metrics.
Jessica introduced a plan to hold small technical conversations with professional condo property-management companies to learn how condo ownership structures affect compliance. She said the outreach would be informal and focused on management professionals, not condo boards, to avoid premature public debate: "They're going to have a lot of challenges when bonding with neighborhoods like this," she said, explaining condos are an important stock of affordable housing in the city.
Members favored phone-based informational interviews with two board members conducting the calls to avoid open-meetings issues; they recommended targeting three to five companies for initial interviews and asked city staff and volunteers to help identify likely candidates. The group also discussed whether outreach messages should come from the city or be co-signed by the board and city staff; members cautioned that private regulatory conversations should not include city staff to avoid public-meeting obligations.
