Superintendent’s Report:
- Re-roofing project on north side of 120 Boerum has been completed, and fortunately no additional leaks have been reported. The 3F and Common Area decks were reinstalled.
- The Super painted the scuffed wall at the main entrance of 120 Boerum.
- The Super worked on gardening projects around the Condo with assistance from Rose at 134 Boerum (thank you!).
- Reports of mice have once again increased – the Super installed door sweeps in common areas and met with exterminator team to assess other steps. (See below for more on this.)
Financials:
- The financials were reviewed and are in good order, though we had certain significant expenses last month, including a water bill and the cost of the unanticipated roof repair.
- Additional owners have signed up for the optional automatic debit for Common Charges. To sign up, fill out the form on the Website (https://skytrackcondo.com/private-documents) and provide to EM Holding. There is a $5 signup fee and a 25-cent monthly fee for this optional service, which covers the associated bank charges.
New Business:
- A committee has been formed to advance the plan of adding electric vehicle charging capability to the garage (note that if the project goes forward, the cost will not be borne by the Condo as a whole). Board member Matthew Pilkington will lead the committee, and will be in touch with garage space owners directly with more details.
- We have retained a designer to facilitate the renovations to lobbies of buildings other than 120 Boerum; she will work with the Design Committee and contractor going forward.
- To address the continuing rodent problem, we have secured discounted pricing from a company to incentivize owners to have areas of potential access within their Units properly sealed. Details will soon be provided to all owners, and posted on the Condo website.
- The Board decided to hire Robert Aviles to continue on as Porter providing weekend service at the building now that Patrick has taken another opportunity. On occasion Robert’s son (also named Robert, as it happens to be) will assist him.
Other Reminders and Notices:
- The City intends to re-commence weekly compost collection in October.
- Details regarding the Condo’s first e-waste collection day will be shared as soon as the City approves the plan.
