Financials:
- The Condo’s finances were reviewed, and everything is in good order.
New Business:
- Board discussed a plan to replace 120 Boerum roof in phases, starting on the Boerum Place side of the building and moving counterclockwise.
- Attorneys for building successfully protested the property tax increase for the next tax period. All units will benefit from the reductions.
- The Board discussed a new trial policy to permit temporary storage of a limited number of strollers in the 120 Boerum package room. The trial period will begin in January 2020 (after the holiday package crush). Details will be shared in advance.
- A new contractor has been retained to complete the structural repairs to the terrace at unit 2L. This contractor is also providing a proposal on repairs to 15 Bergen masonry.
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 mouldings). We recommend calling a reputable extermination contractor if there are any questions about this. Call EM Holdings for recommendations.
