The meeting convened at 7:30 pm and was adjourned at 9:10 pm.
Superintendent’s Report:
- Necessary repairs to the cladding on the outside of the staircase at 120 Boerum have commenced. Scaffolding may be erected on the outside of the building, or in a courtyard area to facilitate these repairs.
- Repairs to brick pointing and mortar repair in the courtyard near the I/J/K line at 120 Boerum Place are in the process of being estimated. Once approved, work will commence.
- The heating system will not require a new pump, as the diagnosis on the existing pump is that it had become mis-aligned. It will be serviced prior to the heating system being reactivated.
- Repair or replacement to loose and/or stained carpet tiles to re-commence.
- The roof of 134 Boerum has a leak, and is being investigated. A roofer is being brought in for investigation.
New Business:
- The board approved Patrick to replace Alex as porter. The board also gave Alex a farewell bonus and good wishes for his new position.
- Improper trash disposal is occurring in the Skytrack buildings. A mattress and box spring was improperly disposed of recently, and the condo has received a $100 fine as a result. PLEASE be respectful to the community and your neighbors and PROPERLY DISPOSE OF BULK TRASH ITEMS. Mattresses and box springs must be properly bagged and disposed of on specific days and not before. An old toilet was also deposited on the street, near the Dean St. exit. Our staff retrieved it and put it out on the proper collection day. The owner responsible has been fined $50. PLEASE see Jose if you have a BULK TRASH ITEM to dispose of.
- NOTICE: Improper disposal of any bulk or electronic item will result in a fine by the condo association to the resident responsible.
- The malfunctioning front door lock to 120 Boerum has been inspected and adjusted. We will continue to monitor to the extent it causes further issues. Please remember to always ensure exterior doors throughout the Skytrack Condo shut and lock behind you when you enter or exit.
- New keys will be distributed to garage space owners, as a new high-security lock is being installed on the garage entry door.
- The list of specific super duties (in development) was reviewed.
- The board is requesting a recommendation from our accountant, Mark Levitch, on the amount we need to raise common charges in order to maintain a healthy budget.
- The next board meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday, October 27th, at 7:30pm.
Financials:
- The financial statement was reviewed. Everything is in good standing.
PLEASE NOTE:
- NOTE: Skytrack Condo cannot take responsibility for any packages left at the building by couriers. Please collect any of your delivered parcels that couriers leave in the lobby within one day of their delivery, if at all possible. The board is actively discussing options for resident access to packages.
