Superintendent’s Report
- All decks have been replaced except for Jose’s.
- Jose has arranged for Abilene to inspect and service the boilers in preparation for this Winter.
- The intercom problems some units have been experiencing have been resolved. They were due to a bad cable between units 2L and 3L, which has been repaired.
- Water from rain and thawing snow was getting into the external intercom at 120 Boerum, causing it to function poorly. A shelter, or some other structure for the box has been proposed.

- Re-pointing of the planter on Boerum Place is being investigated.
- Jose will get a bid for an additional wooden storage shed on Boerum Place.
