We believe we have finally solved the problem that was causing grossly inadequate heating up until late last night, when additional repairs took place. A malfunctioning temperature sensor was identified, resulting an insufficient amount of hot water circulating through the buildings. As of approximately 10 PM, the right quantity of water at the right temperature (which is calculated constantly by a computerized control system) has been correctly circulating through the system.
As the system continues to stabilize, we would like feedback from residents about what temperatures they are finding in their apartments. So far Board members have reported a range of temperatures today from 71 degrees to 80, depending on direction of exposure and direct sunlight. This is a very significant improvement, and is not just as a result of the warmer temperatures outside.
We would also like you to know that the Board, the management company, and Jose have been working feverishly (scores of hours, hundreds of emails) with plumbers, the boiler company, and other experts to achieve what we hope is this final fix to the system-wide problem we have been experiencing these past weeks. Note that residual issues you experience likely relate to unit-specific problems (such as broken valves), some of which may only be able to be addressed when it is safe to drain the water from the system. We of course will continue to work with you to address any such problems. Thank you.
