I. Maintenance
There had been a few complaints about heat as it turned on for the season. The boiler is being turned up from 170º F to 180º F. A request was made to move a planter to the entrance of 134. Jose will rearrange the new plantings at 134 Boerum so that one planter would be nearer the door. The board is planning on additional planters and replacing the remaining wooden tubs next year as the budget allows.
The carpets on the first floor of 120 Boerum Pl., and in 134 Boerum Pl. will be shampooed soon.
An exterminator has been hired to visit on a monthly basis to set traps in common areas, for mice, which have been spotted in some of the buildings.
A company approached, asking if we would want to have cell phone transmitters on 120 Boerum Place rooftop. Safety aspects, positioning, and revenue were discussed. Since we have not received an official proposal, no decision was made.
II. Financials
A review of the Condo’s finances showed them to be in order. We have paid back the Line-Of-Credit loan that was used toward the recent renovations to the 2nd and 3rd floor hallways at 120 Boerum.
On January 1st there will be a 3 percent increase in common charges.
3. New Business
Strangers in the Building: Please do not allow any vendors/strangers in the building. If they are not visiting you, please do not allow them in, even if given a plausible excuse. Vendors have been found wandering the building knocking on doors, uninvited.
The next meeting will be on Nov. 19.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:30pm
