Window Replacement
No money from HADCO. Is it time to request David (DS) to write a letter to Hadco?

107 Laundry Room Floor
Same.

BW&S was at the building yesterday and today with a full crew and a police detail. BW&S was able to pump down far enough to access our lines. BW&S performed a dye test and the dye came back into the BW&S lines; therefore, they were able to determine that the water is flowing from the buildings to the BW&S lines.

BW&S performed a camera test and saw no breaks in the lines. However, there may be a sag in one of our lines, so more investigation is needed. BW&S will gives us their full report.

Questions for Dave Modica
  • When will the BW&S report become available, and would it be possible to get the report by the end of the week?
  • Why did JMechanical charge the association twice?--$1840 and $1780
Landscaping
The plants for $1000 have been planted. Modica cut the branch on 111 Jersey Linden Tree. Stil waiting for updates on the Aphid treatment.

Later edit: After the meeting the board walked around the buildings and looked at the landscaping in front of the buildings. The board did not see any annuals planted. From April 20, 2010, meeting notes: "The board decided to ask Malkasian to work with $1000 (total, labor inclusive) to add plantings and improve the landscaping with the following specific requests: 1) no arbovitaes, 2) add approximately $100 worth of annuals in locations Malkasian sees fit."

Terrazzo Sidearms Need Repairs
Same. The sidearms still need repairs.

Water Damage/Leaks Due to the March 15 Storm
Waiting for status on the sky lights owners for fixing them. Status on the ceiling patches. MA to start getting roof bids for full replacement.

Repolishing Wood on the Fronnt Doors
Same. MA to bid sanding and polishing the front doors of 107 and 111.


Renegotiate Insurance Deductible
Same

Preparation to Renew the Laundry Contract
Besides looking into getting new type of machines, the board also would like to consider contracting a different vendor. Currently, our contract is with Automatic Laundry Services (ALS).

Miscellaneous

  • Questions for Modica:
    • What was happening with the power outages during the night? (on 6/13 and 6/14)
    • What services are included in the Janitorial Work? Can the janitor the weeds/common area outside?
  • The gate on Queensberry side does not close. The door also may need oiling.
  • A basement unit in 107 on the back courtyard side has a cord coming out of the unit. Is this an antenna? The board is concerned that whatever it is, it is not legal.
  • Line of credit

These minutes are written to Yelena’s best recollection. Please notify her of any discrepancies immediately.
