Board Members Present: Katharine Flanders Mukherji, V.P.; Rose Firestein, Treas.; Levi McConnell, Sec.; Madeleine Milan. Also Present: Elia Malara, Managing Agent; Jose Perez, Superintendent
The meeting convened at 7:30 pm and was adjourned at 8:30 pm.
Superintendent’s Report:
- 2 rooftop fresh air vent fans were replaced at 15 Bergen.
- Heat has been turned on, due to the recent dip in temperatures.
- The boiler will be serviced in advance of the winter season.
- The 2nd and 3rd floor hallways of 120 Boerum Place will be re-painted in semi-gloss, for easier cleaning.
- Work will commence to re-align the door to the basement at 120 Boerum Place.
- General maintenance and repairs were addressed throughout the past month.
Financials:
- Financial reports and budget were reviewed and determined to be in order.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Residents are not allowed to connect their clothes dryers to the fresh air vents. Many modern dryers don’t need to vent. They are called condensation dryers, and can also be quite energy efficient. Connecting a dryer exhaust to the fresh air vent is a serious fire hazard.
PLEASE DOUBLE-BAG and TIE your discarded cat litter.
Please be conscious of your water usage, as NYC water usage rates are increasing at a fast pace. Fix leaky faucets and remember, “less is more.”
The next Board Meeting has been slated for Tuesday, November 26th, 2013.
