The Parkview experienced a <br /> significant challenge in filling vacant units as quickly as would typically occur. The <br /> property's average occupancy in 2022 was 89 percent, which equates to an average of <br /> 12 vacant units every month. With an average rent of $7,200 per unit, the total rent loss <br /> due to vacancy in 2022 was $1 ,055,000. While The Parkview was able to offset this <br /> vacancy loss by $375,000 through raising market rents upon unit turnover, and <br /> implementing a 5 percent rent increase in 2022, the property still had a $680,000 net <br /> shortfall in rental revenue. <br /> At the same time, The Parkview incurred an overall net increase in staffing costs of <br /> approximately $900,000 in 2022 due to increased reliance on temporary staff whose <br /> wages and other labor costs were higher than if permanent staff were in place. The <br /> pandemic created a very challenging job market in the healthcare and assisted living <br /> sector, with labor shortages and high demand for both permanent and temporary staff. <br /> This resulted in The Parkview having to pay more temporary employees at a range of <br /> $30-$50 per hour. On average, the property had up to 15 full time staff and seven part <br /> time temporary staff every week during 2022. <br /> Finally, The Parkview also had other increased operating costs, including electricity <br /> costs of approximately $42,000 due to the facility's solar PV system being offline for <br /> repairs for much of the 2022 calendar year (repairs were delayed by shortages of parts <br /> and labor again caused by the pandemic), and $150,000 in increased expenses for <br /> maintenance/repair labor and materials due to the increase in unit turnover throughout <br /> the year. <br /> Operating Reserve Withdrawal Request <br /> The Parkview is requesting approval from the City to withdraw an additional $701 ,935 <br /> from its operating reserve to cover operating deficits at The Parkview.
