Board of Managers Meeting Minutes: February 24th, 2015

Board Members Present: Katharine Flanders Mukherji, V.P.; Hannah Berkin-Harper, Treas.; Levi

McConnell, Sec. Also Present: José Perez, Superintendent; Elia Malara, Managing Agent

The meeting convened at 7:30 pm and was adjourned at 9:00 pm.

 

Superintendent’s Report:

• The boiler’s heat pump is failing. It’s the original pump, so it’s best to replace it completely. The

management company is activating the replacement process for the first window of 40 degree+ days.

This work should be completed as soon as possible. The board is hopeful that addressing this issue

also helps our heating system perform more more efficiently, and help units be more comfortable.

• Many of the roof drain pipes have frozen inside the garage area, and in many other areas around the

buildings. Jose is going to heat the drain pipe in hopes of melting the ice, so that the drains can clear.

• The garage door is being replaced, so please bear with us as we work to remedy the situation.

• The carpet tiles at 120 Boerum on the 2nd floor are to be re-glued.

 

Financials:

• The financial statement was reviewed. Aside from one owner with significant arrears (which is being

referred to the lawyers representing Skytrack Condo) everything is in order. Please remember to

pay your common charges on time, and correctly. It helps everyone.

New Business:

• The next board meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday, March 24th, 2015.

 

PLEASE NOTE:

• Please, NO plastic bags in the recycling.

• PLEASE bundle your cardboard and tie or tape it together for removal.

• Please TIE garbage bags before depositing into trash chute.

• Bulk trash can be placed outside the 15 Bergen Street exit, on the curb ONLY on Sunday evenings

after 5pm. NO EXCEPTIONS.

• For any owners who are renovating, when refinishing wood flooring, please consider your neighbors

and use a water-based sealant.

• A parcel has been stolen from the front entry of 120 Boerum Place, so please pick up your packages

as expeditiously as possible.

If residents notice an issue or problem with any of the common elements, please notify the

Superintendent (Jose, 646-239-8762), Building Manager (E.M. Holding Corp., 718-625-4671) or email,
