Updated policies address condo and co-op project safety and sustainability

Projects with critical repairs or deferred maintenance can lead to unsafe conditions, uninhabitable homes, and financial hardships for homeowners. We introduced temporary requirements in LL-2021-14 to address projects with significant deferred maintenance and special assessments. Effective Sept. 18, 2023, our requirements addressing critical repairs and special assessments will be incorporated into permanent policy for condo and co-op projects with five or more attached units. Condo Project Manager™ (CPM™) will be updated the week of Sept. 15 with new data elements related to required repairs, deficiencies, inspections, and assessments.

Project Eligibility Review Service

The Project Eligibility Review Service (PERS) is a review method lenders can use to submit project information to Fannie Mae for eligibility review. PERS may be required to review certain types of projects.

Condo Project Questionnaire

Government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) have developed standardized Condo Project Questionnaire forms (1076/1077). Although optional, we recommend these forms. They offer lenders a clear and consistent approach to collecting condo project information from HOAs.
