Structural Needs Assessment Report

MA to request a sample of window padding from C&P (to be used on old windows) to compare with the window padding that comes with a new window.

Window Replacement
(05/20/08) DM has volunteered to represent any owners that want to replace their windows this summer, and to get a quote for the windows as one order. MA has sent out a letter to the owners informing them to contact DM directly if they are interested in replacing their windows. DM will get back to all owners who have contacted him with quotes, payment information, and other action items.
(06/24/08) 9 owners have signed up for window replacement. Windows have been measured in all but one unit (key issue with the unit). The exact estimates will come in once all windows have been measured.
(07/15/08) DS and MA drafted a letter to go out to all owners who decided to replace the windows. The owners will have several days in which to agree to the window replacement and conditions outlined in the letter, and return the signed letter with their payment.
(08/19/08) All unit windows for the participating units have been replaced, except for 111-11, which was a add-on unit that is replacing just one window. 111-2 has new windows, but no panning, because 111-2 was replacing the windows on his own, and the panning did not match. 111-2 windows will be capped as part of the structural needs work, with all old windows are capped.
(09/16/2008) All individual unit windows have been replaced and all units have paid the association. The association will now pay $18150 for the work. The association has paid 1/2 of the cost of panning for the windows in 111-2 unit, but the panning was not the right kind and was removed. MA is working with Hadco, the company that was replacing 111-2 unit's windows in order to get the money back. Unit 107-14, which had its windows replaced, had a screen fall out during the storm. MA to contact Lewin about fixing the screen.
(11/18/2008) Several windows on 107 Jersey first floor and 111-2 windows do not have grids. At least one window's panning is cut around the metal rod. In these windows, the iron pins are in the mortar too close to the window. So the window panning was notched to expose the iron stud. The iron grid should be drilled into the brick. MA will work with Logan Grates to replace the grids. The panning then can be redone. MA spoke to 111-2 owner and Hadco on 11/3. Hadco acknowledged that they were paid. MA still working to get the association's money refunded.
(01/20/2009) Window Paining has been repaired. Waiting for Logan grate to reinstall.
(03/17/2009) Still waiting on refund from Hadco. Logan Grates will fix the grids.
(05/19/2009) Same.
(08/18/2009) Same.
(09/15/2009) MA sent another letter to Hadco Window and Door on 9/3, but has not had a reply.
(2010, March update since 09/2009) Hadco paid $375 of $825 deposit they took for panning, $150 per each window, 3 in total, and that was cost to Hadco. So the refunded was $375. MA does not think that we are going to get anymore money from them. What does the association want to do?
(03/16/2010) The unit (111-2) has the correct panning. MA to send another letter to Hadco to demand the rest of our money. What can we do to prevent this situation from happening in the future? --In the future we will only reimburse owners for window panning once the work is complete and the panning is to spec.
(04/20/2010) MA sent the letter and gave Hadco 30 days to reply. If there is no response, the next step would be for David to send a letter to Hadco.
(05/18/2010) Modica has not heard back from HADCO yet.
(06/15/2010) No money from HADCO. Is it time to request David (DS) to write a letter to Hadco?
(07/20/2010) Refund request resulted in Hadco (the window contractor) refusing to refund the final $500. (Hadco have refunded $350 to date.) Corinne had made the request again with a cc' to Modica's attorney. This did not yield a positive result. The board would like to ask David Sherf to send a letter to Hadco, asking to split the remaining $500 and return $250 to the association.
(08/17/2010) MA made one further phone call to Hadco, asking for a final refund of $250.00. MA has received no response and therefore asked David Sherf to write a letter.
(06/24/08) 9 owners have signed up for window replacement. Windows have been measured in all but one unit (key issue with the unit). The exact estimates will come in once all windows have been measured.
