Superintendent’s Report:
- The Super is still missing keys from 3 Units. Management or the Super will be in touch with the owners so that keys are obtained, as required.
- A ventilation fan on the G line at 120 Boerum has failed, and the Super is working to correct the issue.
- The roofing contractor repaired a leak in the new roof above unit 3F.
- An electrician conducted a survey to determine whether we could add electric cars chargers in the garage. It was determined that there is insufficient supply from the street at this time. ConEd is scheduled to visit the building to look into this issue to determine if the capacity that would be required can be added.
- The contractor is looking into the cracked floor tile at bottom of the 120 Boerum staircase, and developing a plan to replace the tile in a manner such that it should not crack again.
Financials:
- The Condo met its budget for 2020. The Board reviewed the draft projected 2021 budget prepared by our accountant and made some changes to account for expected capital improvements.
- Insurance proceeds have been collected related to the repairs required from the leak from Unit 3K.
New Business:
- The Board is looking into coordinating with the City for the periodic collection of e-waste and textiles. The City program is back-logged in light of the pandemic, but we expect to have additional information in the coming months.
- Board member Hannah Berkin-Harper is continuing her efforts in connection with assisting the planning of forthcoming renovations to the common areas of 15 Bergen, 122 Boerum, and 134 Boerum. At 134 Boerum, the contractor has investigated the stair railing and determined it is structurally sound and in good condition for a high quality refurbishment, so fortunately the railing does not need to be replaced (it would cost many tens of thousands of dollars to do so). Residents of 15 Bergen, 134 Boerum and 122 Boerum have selected their “point people” to help manage the forthcoming renovations. Hannah is awaiting measurements and photos of each of those buildings from the point people so that the creation of plans for the design can proceed.
