The Physical Needs Assessment (PNA) is designed to provide outstanding maintenance issues and short-term capital item replacements; to develop a 5-year Reserve Replacement Schedule; and to establish a maintenance monitoring baseline.
Our approach to a Physical Needs Assessment (PNA) includes the following key considerations:
| » |
Identify deficient conditions in terms of deferred maintenance and building and life safety code non-compliance issues; |
| » |
Evaluate work necessary to return vacant and off line units to occupied status; |
| » |
Evaluate work necessary to meet long-term viability and market needs; |
| » |
Provide a long-term viability plan; |
| » |
Provide a reasonable cost analysis; |
| » |
Consider work required to comply with federal accessibility regulations and Housing Quality Standard; |
| » |
Evaluate options for increased energy efficiency; |
| » |
Provide a detailed report for each property development that details the assessment data; |
| » |
Provide individual cost tables and digital photographs to document the deficient conditions at each property; |
| » |
Consult with stakeholders, including residents, persons with disabilities, and advocacy groups. |
