Board Meeting Minutes: February 23, 2021

Meeting conducted via videoconference

Board Members Present:  Peter Levy, President; Katharine Flanders Mukherji, V.P.; Andrew Kurland, Sec.; Matthew Pilkington, Treas.; Michael Tedesco; Cameron Martin; Malik Ashiru; Hannah Berkin-Harper; Terra Chalberg

Also in Attendance:  Valdet Boleviq, Superintendent; Kathleen Malara, EM Holding Corp.; Larry Deshati, Verrazano Roofing (for a portion of the meeting)

Superintendent’s Report:

  • The Super now has keys for all Units, as required. 
  • Leak in roof above unit 3F still not resolved.  The Super is working with management and the roofing company to address this (see also below).
  • ConEd is scheduled to come to the building during the first week of March to assess providing additional electricity supply to the garage to support electric car charging.
  • The Super is still working to repair a broken exhaust fan on the G line of 120 Boerum.
  • Some units at 120 Boerum are reporting increased mice activity, and the Super is working with the exterminators to target, in particular, Common Areas around those units.

Financials:

  • The financials were reviewed and are in good order.

New Business:

  • We expect to be able to take advantage of NYC programs and implement periodic e-waste and textiles collection at Skytrack, hopefully starting this Spring.  We will post additional information on this on the website as we know more details.
  • Due to the continuing leak in Unit 3F, the roofing contractor attended part of the meeting and presented a proposed solution to address the problem, involving more significant repairs to the roof around that part of the building.  The Board is continuing to assess and will move quickly on this so that the leak is remedied as expediently as possible.
  • The Board, and the “Design Committee,” is continuing to work towards developing plans to renovate the Common Areas of buildings other than 120 Boerum.

Other Reminders and Notices:

  • By and large, the Units which are reporting the most mice activity have not taken necessary steps to ensure potential areas of access within their apartments are properly sealed.  Please be reminded that it is the responsibility of Unit Owners to take these steps.  However, note that the Condo is working diligently to ensure all Common Areas are appropriately and adequately addressed in this regard.
