Board of Managers Meeting Minutes, October 28th, 2014

Board members present: Katharine Flanders Mukherji, V.P.; Rose Firestein; Terra Chalberg; Madeleine Milan. Also Present: Elia Malara, Managing Agent; Jose Perez, Superintendent

 

The meeting convened at 7:30 pm and was adjourned at 8:50 pm.

 

Superintendent’s report:

  • All of the heating tubes in the boiler were replaced to avoid further repairs and boiler down-time this winter. Thank you to all residents for your patience while the water was shut off to carry out the repairs.
  • A new door is being installed at the top of the Dean Street stairs in 120 Boerum Place to replace the old door, which had been leaking into an apartment below.

 

New business:

  • A new door and frame will be installed on the pedestrian entrance to the garage, to make sure it opens and closes properly.
  • A window and fan will be installed on the Boerum Place stairs at 120 Boerum Place, to improve ventilation and regulate heat during the warmer months.
  • The board voted to replace the bricks in the sidewalk with concrete at the entrances to all Skytrack buildings (except the 120 Boerum Place Dean Street entrance). The bricks in place at the moment become very slippery when the sidewalk is wet or frozen.

 

Financials:

  • The financial statement was reviewed and appears to be in good standing.

 

Notes:

  • Please make sure that both garage doors have closed properly behind you before leaving the garage. There was an incident with an intruder in the garage recently.
  • Several units in the building have had water damage caused by leaking refrigerator icemakers. If your fridge has an icemaker please be aware that icemakers often cause leaks, particularly if the fridge has been moved recently.

 

The next Board Meeting has been slated for Tuesday, December 2nd, 2014
