Superintendent’s Report:

  • Loose cables were removed from 15 Bergen, and others will be addressed.
  • Plaster repairs completed at entrance of 120 Boerum.
  • Boerum Pl. storage sheds were power washed.
  • Eco-safe mosquito repellent was placed where water collects on roofs of buildings.
  • Hanging tape removed from garage ceiling.

Financials:

  • The Condo’s finances were reviewed, and everything is in good order.
  • Reminder to pay condo fees on time to avoid late fees and interest charges.

New Business:

  • Malik Ashiru and Michael Tedesco, our new/returning Board members who were elected at the Annual Meeting, were welcomed to the Board, and the Board recognized Hannah Berkin-Harper and Levi McConnell for their service as Board members.
  • The floor in the garage will be cleaned on July 4, when we expect many to be out of town.
  • We continue to await the city to provide permits for work required to 2L deck and 15 Bergen masonry repair.  A professional “expediter” is handling this process.
  • The Board discussed complaints about rodents.  Though reports have decreased markedly, some units continue to be affected.  See “important reminder” below.
  • The Board re-elected Peter Levy to continue to serve as President, Katharine Flanders Mukherji to continue to serve as Vice President, Matthew Pilkington to continue to serve as Treasurer, and Andrew Kurland to continue to serve as Secretary.

Important Reminders and Updates:

  • All unit owners are responsible for ensuring there are no points of access for rodents in their units (for example, around pipes, under moldings).  We recommend calling a reputable extermination contractor if there are any questions about this.  We have received positive feedback on these two services (though feel free to use one of your choosing):
    • 1) On Guard Pest (212-228-4186)
    • 2) Eliminate All Pest Control (718-304-6199)
