Lobby Renovation in 120 Boerum Pl. to start on Mon. 3/5/18
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Lobby renovation is set to begin MARCH 5. The lobby will be largely closed to foot traffic for 4 months. Lobby work will be from 8am-6pm Monday- Friday. We anticipate certain phases being noisy (especially demolition) and we appreciate everyone’s patience during this process. Here’s what we are anticipating:
– All mail, packages, and deliveries will come through the Dean Street door. This means that people will need to be called for deliveries and will need to come to the Dean Street door to let deliveries and guests in. We know this will be inconvenient. We are looking in to other solutions. Please let us know if you have suggestions.
– A frame will be build for the old mailboxes and will be placed in the Dean Street lobby. You can collect your mail there.
– Packages will be stored in the closet at the Dean Street entrance. The closet has limited space so please collect packages as soon as you can.
– Signs will be placed on the Boerum Place entrance to let deliveries and guests know that they need to go around the corner.
– The only residents allowed to use the Boerum Place door are Val and his family, and the residents of 1-O (as they have the door in the lobby). Please cooperate with this restriction as each time people enter the main door it will hold up the contractors.
– We are happy to take suggestions to make this process run more smoothly, and there may be changes to the procedure as we go.
120 Boerum Place Lobby Renovation
The 120 Boerum Place renovation is expected to begin March first and to last four months. Every effort to minimize inconvenience will be made, but there will be issues with access and deliveries. Alternative solutions will be provided. When a more specific and detailed schedule is drawn up, the residents will be informed and updated. The Board thanks you in advance for your patience. We are optimistic that the final results will have been well worth the temporary inconveniences.
Heating Status
The boiler company has confirmed that the boiler is working well and has recommended a consultation with a plumber. We have scheduled a visit for today. The likely explanation for the feeble heat is that there is air in the system which needs to be removed and replaced with additional water.
CPR Restoration Will Return On Friday
Because of the snow storm, CPR Restoration had to cancel the continuation of the clean up from the sprinkler system leak. They will return on Friday to visit the affected residential units.
Update: Broken Sprinkler Pipe On Roof (Boerum Place Stairwell)
The flood source is a break in the sprinkler system piping, where the test valve is, on the roof. The sprinkler system has to be turned off. Repair service is on the way. Residents in lines A, B, C, N, and M, in 120 Boerum Place, may have been affected.
Domestic water has been turned back on.
Emergency water turn-off
Due to an as yet undiscovered water leak source, the Condo.’s water has been shut off. There is heavy flooding in 120 Boerum Place.
Sad News
It is the Board’s sad duty to inform the Skytrack community of the passing on December 26th of long-time managing agent and friend of Skytrack, Elia Malara. Our condolences are extended to his widow, Kathleen, and to the rest of his family and friends.
Heating System Repair
As most of you realize, the heating system is not operating at it’s maximum capacity. Our boiler maintenance company has checked it out and found that a critical part must be replaced. Unfortunately, that part will not be available until Tuesday. Until then, we will have to limp along in the present capacity. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
