Superintendent’s Report:
- The board is discussing the best way to deal with E-Waste. It is currently against City rules to throw electronics in the trash. Please take your electronics to a local recycling center. Local centers are posted on the 120 Boerum lobby bulletin board.
- There is an ongoing issue with USPS and the mail keys at 15 Bergen. Solutions are being investigated.
- Stained or damaged ceiling tiles will be replaced throughout all buildings.
- There was a leak in one of the units in 134 Boerum. The cause is being investigated.
- The track will be inspected soon to see if it needs repair and/or repainting.
Financials:
- The real estate tax assessment has been lowered following the annual filing of protest. There will be a refund given to all residential units and taxes will be slightly lowered going forward. The amount has not yet been determined.
- The financial statement was reviewed. Everything is in good order except for some arrears of certain units.
New Business:
- Peter Levy (President), Katharine Mukherji (Vice President) and Matthew Pilkington (Treasurer) volunteered to remain in their positions. We are holding off on voting for a new Secretary in the fall as Levi McConnell and Andrew Kurland were not in attendance.
- Replacement of the ceiling tiles in the lobby of 120 Boerum is being estimated.
- 120 Boerum lobby is in need of a renovation. A committee is being formed. Please email Hannah Berkin-Harper hberkinharper@gmail.com if you would like to serve on this committee.
