organizations. The Joint Housing Committee has come back with its recommenda- e tions. These recommendations are now incorporated in these amendments to the ordinance. The amendments basically apply to housing co-ops already under Federal aid and bound by Federal regulations. This ordinance permits these non-profit housing co-ops to go before the HCC Department Director to demon- strate that there are equivalent Federal regulations already covering them on those items that are regulated by the City ordinance. It permits the HCC Director to make a finding that the Federal regulations are equivalent and thereby avoid double bureaucracy, cost, and expenditure of services. It also provides for.some fee waivers for non-profit housing co-ops upon a showing that the fees that the co-ops have paid to the State and Federal government because of their requirements have reduced the administrative cost to the City because of not having to regulate. These non-profit housing co-ops will still need a conversion permit but this allows for a waiver of certain permit conditions. The unnecessary application of double regulations will be avoided.
