 Superintendent’s Report:

  • Building roof fans inspected.
  • Paint touchups performed.
  • New signs have been posted by recycling cans.

 Financials:

  • The financial report was reviewed and the buildings’ finances are in good standing.
  • Common charges do not need to be raised at this time, but this determination will be re-assessed later this year and as future large expenditures are scheduled (e.g., roof replacement).

 New Business:

  • We still await insurance determination with respect to water damage from sprinkler pipe break. EM Holdings is regularly following up with broker and adjusters.
  • 120 Boerum lobby renovation project is in progress and on schedule; USPS approved requested variance with respect to mailbox size, subflooring and drywall have been installed, package room has been expanded; floor tiles next.
  • Board has completed initial review of RAND engineering report and will work to prioritize projects.
  • Roofing companies will provide bids and plan for roof replacement of 120 Boerum, which likely will need to occur within the next few years.
  • Super will place bio-safe mosquito repellent on roofs where water may collect.

 Important Reminders and Updates:

  • The Annual Meeting will take place in June. Specific date and invitation will be posted and distributed.  Please plan on attending!
  • Multiple Board Members’ terms will expire this year, and elections will be held at the Annual Meeting. We encourage anyone who is interested in joining the Board to let the Board or EM Holdings know so that ballots, if necessary, can be made in advance of the meeting.  Ideally, every building will have at least one person serving on the Board (note that for some time no one from 134 Boerum has expressed interest in joining the Board).
  • Please ensure you have a valid email address that you check regularly set up on the Skytrack website, so you receive timely communications from the Board.
