Teitel Jewish Apartments in Oak Park
received a superior rating on its annual
MMAM (Michigan Multi Family-Assets
Managers) review. According to Karen
Ostrander, MMAM
senior asset manager,
this is only the second
superior rating ever
received in the state
of Michigan.
MMAM is con-
tracted by HUD
(the Department of
Joel
Housing and Urban
Schoenberg
Development) for
these inspections, which are done on all
Jewish Apartments & Services yearly.
This process is comprised of a physical
inspection of the building as well as the
resident's financial files. The purpose
of these inspections is to ensure the
agency is in compliance with the gov-
ernment requirements.
Joel Schoenberg, administrator of
Teitel Jewish Apartments, said, "The
inspections are important to ensure
that government tax dollars are being
used efficiently and to verify the build-
ing is in compliance with all HUD poli-
cies and procedures. The inspector's
thorough audit of the residents' files
verify they are paying the appropriate
amount in rent and that the building is
billing HUD for the correct amount of
subsidies.
"They also ensure the agency is
doing everything they can to market
the building correctly, keeping it full
with minimum turnover time when a
resident moves out."
