No. Ongoing monthly assessments are not a capital expense and would not get added to the cost basis before or after the conversion.

Capital assessments are different than regular monthly assessments.

For your entry, if you want to clearly identify the expense you can use 'Other or Miscellaneous' and identify it. Otherwise, you could use cleaning and maintenance.
