Dear Mr. Chairman:

     This is in reply to your letter of September 30, 1970, requesting
that we check out the contents of an enclosed anonymous letter
concerning the quality of plumbing and heating work performed by
Barberio & Sons in Ba on _,7V6 WJ rsay.

     As far as we could determine, the firm had done plumbing and/or
heating work in the following three projects in Bayonne, New Jersey,
which could involve Federal housing programs.
   1. d HdBay Project
1. Hud-B

     The Hud-Bay project, owned and developed by the Hud-Bay
Development Corporation, consists of 125 housing units that have
been rehabilitated through the use of private funds. Barberio did
all the plumbing and heating work for which it received about $225,000.
The developer has placed the rehabilitated housing units in the leased-
housing program authorized by section 23 of the National Housing Act.
Some of the units have been rented.

2. Midtown urban renewal proiect

     Midtown is an urban renewal project in which the Midtown Develop-
ment Corporation has constructed town houses through the use of private
financing. The plumbing work was done by Barberio.  Although no
Federal money was provided for construction of the houses, mortgage
insurance may be made available to the potential homeowners by the
Federal Housing Administration.

3. Concentrated code enforcement project

     There were 98 property owners in a concentrated code enforcement
project who received Federal financial assistance to rehabilitate their
properties. Of these properties, 31 required plumbing and/or heating
work, We found only one property where Barberio had done plumbing
work. The firm has completed a portion of the work for which it has
received $1,000.
