          Item 4.      Changes In Registrant's Certifying Accountant.


             Effective  April  22,  1994,  Registrant  dismissed  its  prior
          Independent Auditors, Deloitte & Touche ("Deloitte") and retained
          as  its  new  Independent  Auditors,  Imowitz Koenig  &  Company.
          Deloitte's Independent Auditors' Report on Registrant's financial
          statements for  calendar years ended  December 31, 1993  and 1992
          did not contain an  adverse opinion or disclaimer of  opinion and
          were not  qualified as to  audit scope or  accounting principles.
          However, Deloitte's Independent Auditors' Report for the calendar
          year December  31,  1993  was modified  due  to  the  uncertainty
          regarding Registrant's  ability to  continue as  a going  concern
          since Registrant has substantial balloon payments due on Notes in
          1994; the financial  statements did  not include any  adjustments
          that  might  result from  the outcome  of  this uncertainty.   In
          addition,  Deloitte's   Independent  Auditors'  Report   for  the
          calendar year December  31, 1992 was  modified to emphasize  that
          Registrant held investments  in and  operated properties in  real
          estate markets  experiencing unfavorable economic  conditions and
          would  be  required  to renegotiate  certain  notes  payable with
          balloon  payments,  obtain   financing  elsewhere,  or   sell  or
          otherwise dispose of related properties.  The  decision to change
          Independent  Auditors   was  approved  by  the  Managing  General
          Partner's  Directors.    During  calendar  years 1992,  1993  and
          through  April  22,  1994, there  were  no  disagreements between
          Registrant and Deloitte on any matter of accounting principles or
          practices, financial  statement disclosure, or auditing  scope of
          procedure which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction
          of  Deloitte,  would have  caused  it  to make  reference  to the
          subject  matter  of  the  disagreements  in connection  with  its
          reports.

             Effective  April 22, 1994,  Registrant engaged Imowitz Koenig &
          Company  as  its  Independent  Auditors.   During  the  last  two
          calendar years and  the subsequent  interim periods  to the  date
          hereof,  Registrant  did  not consult  Imowitz  Koenig  & Company
          regarding  any  of  the  matters  or  events set  forth  in  Item
          304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.  

          Item 7.      Financial Statement and Exhibits.

          (c)     Exhibits:

          10.     (a)  Letter dated April 27, 1994  from Registrant's Former
                  Independent Auditors.
