While the Board and Super are actively working to alleviate issues with respect to sewer backups, which are largely the fault of inadequately sized sewer mains that service our building, please limit water use, including toilet flushes, during intense periods of rain. And when significant rain is forecast please refrain from starting dishwashers, washing machines, and taking baths and showers. Using as little water as possible may prevent sewage from backing up into lower level apartments, which obviously has the potential to cause severe damage. The Board reserves the right in an emergency to temporarily turn off water for a short period of time if it seems that it may help prevent sewage backup.
During torrential downpours, do not add water to our drain system
Refrain from flushing toilets, running washers, bathing, showering, etc. This may help prevent backups in the lower apartments.
HEATING SYSTEM WORK
As mentioned at the Annual Meeting, we have made arrangements so that work on the components of the heating system owned by each Unit (e.g. radiators, valves, and thermostats within Units) can take place this summer. The window for such work will be either the week of August 23 or August 30. To the extent you wish to do any such work, please inform EM Holding or Val now so that you can be added to the list and we can ensure the work is able to happen.
You may use any plumber of your choice, though some recommendations (in alphabetical order) are:
B&D Plumbing 718-625-1396
Einstein’s Plumbing 718-246-4095
Sallustio Plumbing 718-858-9080
Weiss Plumbing 718-875-3926
Flooding
To minimize water backups in lower level Skytrack apartments, please avoid heavy water use such as dishwashers, washing machines, and baths, and please minimize toilet flushing if at all possible, during periods of heavy rain this afternoon and through the evening.

Vermin
Please be advised that the Board and the Super are aware of sightings of rats in the vicinity of Skytrack, including on Dean Street and Boerum Place, and share the concerns expressed by many of you. We have taken and will continue to take steps to address this problem including by working with our exterminator to ensure the building is as protected as possible. We have installed poison stations at various locations, and as evidence by deceased rats that have been seen, we believe these measures are working. Management also is in touch with neighboring buildings to ensure that they are taking appropriate measures. We encourage Skytrack residents to contact 311 and file complaints to ensure the City is aware of the recent influx of vermin in our neighborhood, so that they can also take appropriate measures.
