Class O of Banc of America Commercial Mortgage Inc.'s commercial mortgage pass-through certificates, series 2001-1, has been downgraded from B-minus to CCC by Fitch Ratings.Fitch also affirmed 16 other classes in the transaction. The downgrade was attributed to expected losses on the specially serviced loans. Currently, 11 loans (7.6%) are in special servicing, five of which are real estate owned, the rating agency said. An appeal of a court ruling regarding three loans is under way, and depending on the outcome, the expected losses related to the loans could change, Fitch said.
