Attending: Steve Bruner, Steve Dembitzer, Michael Hansen, Peter Levy, Katharine Mukherji, Cynthia Steele, and Jose Perez (for the discussion of maintenance issues)Maintenance
Jose gave an update on maintenance issues:
- The roof has been repaired at 134 and roof pitch-pockets at 120 were filled. The roof over the garage was replaced and the flashing fixed. The garage façade was repainted.
- Several common element leaks were fixed (e.g. around the skylight affecting 3D) or addressed (concern of leak for 1H) and others will be looked into (possible leaks under decks for 3D and 3M).
- The gardening consultant was hired, who will treat the yews and soil at the beginning and end of the garden season (early summer and fall). Drip irrigation was installed by Matthew Pilkinton (thank you).
The following decisions were made regarding maintenance.
- We are getting estimates to replace the canopies.
- Repairs on the roof deck are to be expedited.
- We will have the sidewalk in front of 15 Bergen repaired, when the project next door does its section of sidewalk.
- We are getting estimates and samples regarding painting and carpet replacement for the 2nd and 3rd floors of 120, and based on costs and our finances, will decide when this can be undertaken. A small committee will be formed to arrive at consensus on color choices (if you are interested in having a voice, please contact Matthew Pilkington or Katharine Mukherji).
Note: The exterminator comes the 2nd Wednesday of every month to exterminate in common areas where rodents and bugs are likely to be found. If you want to have your unit exterminated, please coordinate with Jose so that they can do it in conjunction with their regular visit.
Finances
We reviewed the financial reports; we are in good standing. There are several anomalies regarding the arrears report which will be reviewed with the Management Company (Peter Burgess was unable to attend this meeting).
The City made an assessment value offer, which we refused according to advice from our Attorney. Our accountant will complete and submit a financial audit form to arrive at a more realistic value.
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 9:30 p.m. The next regular board meeting is scheduled for September 26th, 2007, unless a special meeting is required in the summer.
