Update – 120 Boerum Pl. Mailbox change

Though we were informed that the Post Office would begin using the new mailboxes in the main lobby on Thursday August 23, it appears that was only the date USPS could begin to use the new mailboxes.  As you are aware, so far mail has continued to be delivered to the temporary location at the Dean Street entrance.  However, please be aware that USPS may make the switch any day.

120 Boerum Pl. Lobby Update

We thank everyone for their patience. The lobby is nearly finished. There are 3 stairs left to tile and the brass railings need to go in. There was a delay in all of the brass arriving which is holding up the opening of the lobby. We anticipate completion next week. Val will be distributing mailbox keys in the coming days so we have an easy transition. 

Heating System has been drained.

Upon notifying the Super and/or the Managing agent of the specific date of the work, all owners who wish to have work done on their baseboard heating units may now do so.  The Super will be on hand during the start of the work.  Be aware that there will probably still be some water in the system in various locations.

Update on lobby construction: 120 Boerum Pl.

Hello Skytrack residents. Thank you for your ongoing patience with the lobby renovation. Hopefully the transition to using the temporary back lobby has not been too bumpy.

There was one big surprise during demolition: The mailbox wall turned out to be 16″ thick brick and so we have a revised plan for that area so avoid additional costs of hiring a structural engineer to design supports for new larger mailboxes. Due to this change, mail recycling will move to the storage closet outside of 1O instead of recessed in the same wall as the mailboxes and there will be a package shelf under the mailboxes to offset the loss of the second cut-out.  See image of new plans.
The package room will be expanded to nearly 2x it’s original size with the demolition of the “mirror maze” in the front lobby
The plywood floor under the old floor tile was not in great shape so it is being reinforced before the new tile is attached.
Also, as I think you all know we are putting on hold new doors and a new awning, they brought the project over budget. We hope to address doors and awnings at all Skytrack buildings at a later date.
We anticipate the renovation to last until mid-July. Please alert Val or Kathleen if there are issues that we can address.
