Superintendent’s Report:
- Winterization completed to prepare for cold weather, including shutting off spigots, enabling protective heat tape on pipes, and sealing stair vents.
- 120 Boerum roof continues to be replaced in phases; work completed by units 3E and 3F.
- All improvements called for by building insurance provider (e.g., sidewalk repair, meter rooms cleared of obstructions, etc.) have been completed.
- Additional mice sightings reported in 134 Boerum and 15 Bergen in particular. The Super has undertaken additional efforts to mitigate potential ingress areas, and added additional traps and poison. Management will provide suggested exterminator contacts to owners.
- Damage caused to Common Areas and certain Units by leak from 3K has been repaired.
Financials:
- The Condo’s finances were reviewed, and everything is in good order.
- We are pleased to report that we have met our projected budget for this year.
- The Condo still has approximately $7,000 to be distributed to certain Units who overpaid their property taxes. We are actively working to obtain the distribution amounts from our lawyers, and apologize for the delay.
New Business:
- The Board is investigating whether it is feasible to permit owners of Garage spaces to pay for the installation of wiring to permit charging of electric vehicles. Among other things, this will depend on having adequate electrical service to the Condo. Management will be in touch with Garage Unit owners as we investigate and explore this potential opportunity.
The Board and Management wish everyone a happy and healthy holiday season and New Year. In light of this particularly challenging year, please remember to show your appreciation for Val and Patrick for their work on the “front lines” this year — they have worked extremely diligently to keep our Condo clean and safe.
We are very lucky to have them.
Other Important Reminders and Updates:
- The Super has confirmed the Condo has keys to most Units for access in event of an emergency, and will be requesting new keys from a few remaining Units. As per our Bylaws, compliance is mandatory. Fines will be assessed if owners do not comply.
- Remember that masks are required in hallways at all times due to the COVID pandemic.
- Please remember to clean up all needles that may drop in Common Areas when removing holiday decorations. Instructions on removal will be posted on building website.
