The High Risk Report, available on our website, has been enhanced to include additional information: we have added a column indicating whether there are open bids for the loans on the report.  Clients who run the report to a spreadsheet will be able to sort properties on the report by whether there are any open bids pending.  If no bids to repair damages or correct citations have been supplied, the client can request that SPI obtain bids to address the damages or violation.

In addition, if there are open bids, the client can view them via the link to the loan number.  The property menu (which is accessed via clicking on the loan number on the report) has a link to all open bids.  The user can review the bids and approve them or escalate them for immediate approval so that the damages do not progress and possibly result in additional fines for unaddressed violations or citations.

Safeguard will run the High Risk Report internally as well, and the High Risk Team will review the report regularly to check for any bids that may be needed, for utility status where sump pumps have been reported, and generally to ensure quality control and timely follow-up for all of Safeguard?s clients.  In addition, we recommend that our clients run this report weekly to identify high risk properties and follow up with Safeguard?s High Risk Team accordingly.  The report can be scheduled to be automatically run and e-mailed to you.
