Occupied Since 2019.

The Job

The Municipal Housing Authority of the City of Yonkers partnered with D+B and L&M Development Partners on a RAD conversion covering three developments: Schlobohm Houses, 415 family apartments; Walsh Homes, 299 senior apartments; and Flynn Manor, 139 senior apartments. Twelve buildings, 853 units, all converted to project-based Section 8 and all rehabilitated without residents moving out.

PPR renovated apartments: kitchens, bathrooms including floor replacement, new finishes and paint.

PPR's Scope

Every apartment PPR turned here got the same treatment:

• Updated kitchens
• Updated bathrooms, including floor replacement
• New finishes and paint throughout

Windows, roofs, boilers, elevators, lobbies, security systems, parking, landscaping and play areas sat with the wider program. PPR's line ran through the apartments.

Renovating With Residents in Place

Nobody relocated for this conversion. Access windows are set by the household, not the schedule, and a kitchen out of service is measured in hours rather than days.

PPR ran the same occupied-building method at Baldwin Oaks in Parsippany, PACT Renaissance Collaborative and Audubon, Bethune and Marshall.

Finished in 2019

This one has been finished for years. The units have been lived in and maintained since — a different kind of proof than a photograph of a fresh install.
