The homeowners of Westlake Village Condominiums recently voted to finance an estimated 6.4 million dollar association loan that will fund renovations of the building, and ensure that its codes are up to date. Because the HOA does not have the money to pay for the building's enhancements, homeowners will be responsible for funding this association loan by taking out their own loans, which could be demanded as soon as September 1st. These loans will be repaid monthly through the homeowners association, which is the driving force behind the renovation project. Only one bank – yet to be revealed – has expressed interest in financing the project, at an interest rate above 6%. The building, which was built in 1979, has experienced a wide range of
As you aware, this firm represents the interests of the Spinnaker Tower Condominium Association (hereinafter “Spinnaker”). It is my understanding that Jefferson Grounds, LLC would like to complete construction of a concrete apron in the Harbortown Community later this year. It is my understanding that Jefferson-Grounds, LLC (hereinafter “Jefferson”), has requested that Spinnaker open up Jib Lane in order to accommodate traffic within the Harbortown Community during the construction of the apron. As indicated in our previous letter of April 29, 2015, Jefferson does not qualify as the “Administrator” under the Declaration of Easements, Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Harbortown Community, recorded in Liber 22198, Page 562-575, Wayne
The real estate industry is thriving with approximately sixty-eight percent of all Americans being homeowners. With low interest rates, 1st time home buyer down payment assistance programs, and government funded educational opportunities (i.e. the Home Ownership Center of Greater Cincinnati), the real estate and mortgage lending industries will continue to flourish. However, there are some unethical lending practices that are threatening the housing industry as a whole.
Newark is the most populous city in the state of New Jersey, and one of the nation’s largest shipping hubs. It is the sixty-seventh most populous city in the country and has just over two hundred seventy-five thousand residents. This makes it the second most populated city in the New York metropolitan region, after New York City. It is the largest port on the Eastern Seaboard, location of several corporate headquarters, and several universities. It is a diverse city, made up of five wards containing many neighborhoods that vary greatly, from urban business and industrial districts, to quiet near-rural areas on the outskirts of the city.
The city is currently looking at two projects costing in excess of $4,000,000 each that will require financing. The first project is the HVAC improvements at the James J. Eagan (JJE) Civic Center which are estimated to cost $4,000,000. The second project is the renovation of the former Dick Weber Bowling Lanes to accommodate municipal court and police functions which is estimated at $4,600,000. To facilitate the financing of these two projects the city has engaged the services of Michelle Bock, Managing Director with Piper Jaffray and Co., to act as a Financial Advisor (FA) to the city as it relates to the financing of the aforementioned projects.
They did not have a problem with the development as long as each owner worked on his own house. But as soon as they swapped labor, the unions ordered all union workers off the job. So the going was at least a little dicey for the association. Nevertheless, before the year on the mortgage was up they were able to re-finance the loan and obtain an additional $5,400 to help with general development costs. By the time a few of the homes were completed they even had
In September 2003, Mason Sexton, a young, inexperienced developer, was making plans to replace a rooming house he had inherited next to the University of Virginia campus in Charlottesville with a new 14-unit, 5-story apartment house. In his attempts to assemble the information, approvals, and resources necessary to go ahead, he runs into many problems associated with the development process. While Sexton is able to carry out most of the conceptual, investigative and planning stages of this development, he runs into many problems because of his inexperience and his initial plan changes over time. He runs into issues obtain financing, has to spend money to obtain a certificate of occupancy, underestimates the
Dogs may be a mans best friend, but their waste is not. For the residents of One Brooklyn Bridge Park Condominiums, their ongoing matter of waste layering all parts of where they call home has become an epidemic. Having to indoor walking through corridors and lobbies littered with feces, urine, and other dog waste on a daily basis has caused extreme discomfort among residents, as well as being exceedingly expensive and time consuming to clean. As a response to this persistent problem the board has decided to implement an ordinance that all dogs living in the building must have their DNA registered. Through a service called Poo Prints the board can send register each dogs DNA and send in samples of waste for DNA testing. Then the board can discover
The Lenses of Gender by Sandra Bem begins by introducing the three lenses that will be discussed in the book: androcentrism, gender polarization, and biological essentialism. The most significant aspect to this reading was the concept of females being an addition to males or the ‘other’. Specifically, this idea is derived from a biblical view. When taking a look at the creation of man and the story of Adam of Eve, “Adam is explicitly given the power to name--that is, define--every single creature on earth, including women… Adam is unambiguously said to be created in God’s image. Eve, in contrast, is an inferior departure from this godly standard,” (Bem, 1993, p. 46) This perception of females being below the male standard carries out throughout
On one end, developer Franklin Properties wants to turn the library into 22 residential condominiums. The building would also include a café, a wellness center, a community meeting room and space for medical offices. The Franklin project would also adapt the structure of the exsisting Old Library. "Even though it's only twenty units of housing, they are condominiums. Which means people are going to buy them, and I think the downtown community would benefit from having twenty people that are homeowners, that are living
According to the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, Philadelphia experienced the most gentrification between the years of 2000 to 2014. Out of 356 communities, only 15% of them experienced the effects of gentrification during that period. Many of the newly gentrified areas, for the most part, are located in Center City, or around already gentrified neighborhoods in West and South Philadelphia, or near the University of Pennsylvania and Temple University. The previously gentrified neighborhoods had gentrified during the years of 1980 to 2000. To understand the effects of gentrification on housing, diversity, and economics the differences between gentrified communities like North and South Philadelphia, and non-gentrified neighborhoods like
It is common sense to pick a target, the houses that look nice, where most of the people works, apparently working + nice houses = money. It is not a particular selection, most of the time is randomly. Burglars stated that they balance the target; easy to enter; checked for the alarms; no people around; burglars even know when they owners are not in the house. I also noticed that there is gentrification, one of the inmates stating that two blocks up where the nicest houses are located.
In the past research, I found that Orland Park is a great place to live. It has a nice neighborhood, great schools, and great houses. Recently, I began doing research to find out more information on the housing market in Orland. Before I researched the housing market, I was almost certain that Orland would do extremely well in the housing market. I was thinking that they would have a lot of apartments for rent and many houses for sale. In addition, I figured they would be selling extremely well. However, after I did my research, that was not the case at all.
Imagine sitting in a massive round table drinking and eating with all your close friends. Everyone is having fun when suddenly a mysterious Green Knight interrupts the celebration and proposes a challenge, which was accepted by Gawain. That is the story of Sir Gawain and The Green Knight, an alliterative poem written in the mid to late fourteen century. Little is known about who wrote the poem, but most scholars refer to him as the “Pearl Poet.” The poem is part of medieval romantic tradition that tells the tale of a young knight’s journey. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight was written in North or West Midlands dialect and is referred to as one best Middle Age romance stories. The story depicts the ethical orientation and the social context of Arthurian Romance and the ideology of English chivalry. Chivalry (chevalerie) is a French term that means “Skills to handle a horse,” but after the first crusades chivalry became more of an honor code to an ideal knight. Sir Gawain and The Green Knight is not only an adventurous tale but is also a test for Gawain’s character and a test of his adherence to the knight’s code of chivalry. The Code of Chivalry includes qualities such as honor, love, and humility. In the poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, the author uses different types of symbolism to demonstrate the theme of the nature of chivalry.
The facility has a potential growth by acquiring IT systems. As mentioned, the major challenges are staffing, technology, and limited financial resources which is expected since the merger Suburban’s administration never performed any improvements or major capital investment. In my opinion, the selling of the facility demonstrate failure but also without the acquisition of technology the hospital could not expand their capabilities neither improve their services.
Western Europe in the seventeenth-century thinkers divided into two groups, the "ancients" and the "moderns". The "ancient" group emphasized Aristotle and other classical authors as the foundation of knowledge, in fields such as medicine, mathematics and astronomy. The "modern" group argued that human reason provided the key to knowledge. Their viewpoint contradicted the Christian idea of humanity as tainted by original sin and capable of salvation through God's mercy. They had the belief that God endowed humankind with reason and through that reason the truth would come.
