Superintendent’s Report:
- The rodent situation outside the buildings has improved, and steps continue to be taken around plantings to prevent rodents from living there.
- Repairs from a leak at 134 Boerum Apt. 1 will be completed this week
- The lobby renovations are almost complete (15 Bergen and 122 Boerum lobbies done), except contractors are waiting for delivery of certain materials. We will ensure the contractors are cleaning up each day adequately. Approximately two more weeks are expected.
- The new garbage set out rules have proved to be burdensome, as expected.
- A unit on the D line of 120 Boerum noticed discolored hot water. This does not appear to be a building-wide issue; we will investigate.
Financials:
- The Condo financials were reviewed, and all is in good order.
New and Ongoing Business:
- The Board had preliminary discussions on the report concerning backflow valves received from the building engineers shortly before the meeting. Review and discussions will continue.
- The Board discussed a leak into Unit 1E due to a broken drain line, and whether the line in question was a Common Element. The Board agreed that the Condo Declaration and Bylaws will dictate who is responsible for the necessary repairs and will review the documents further to reach a determination on this issue.
- The Board discussed maintenance and repair projects that will take place in the Garage.
- The Board intends to discuss Local Law 97 at the upcoming annual meeting. This law places carbon emissions limits on buildings, and fines will be imposed in future years for non-compliance.
