After review of Respondent's records, the EPA determined that Respondent had entered into contracts to lease the residential dwellings that are target housing at the following locations (the Properties) on the specified dates listed below: 205 Antreville Highway, Iva, South Carolina 29655, built in 1971, lease entered into on December 1, 2025; 310 Concord Avenue, Anderson, South Carolina 29621, built in 1965, lease entered into on July 1, 2025; 3011 East North Avenue, Anderson, South Carolina 29625, built in 1962, lease entered into on April 1, 2025; 1118 East River Street, Anderson, South Carolina 29624, built in 1950, lease entered into on February 1, 2025; 600 Glenwood Avenue, Anderson, South Carolina 29625, built in 1950, lease entered into on March 1, 2025; and 1308 Hanover Road, Anderson, South Carolina 29621, built in 1974, lease entered into on July 1, 2025.
