Structural Needs Assessment Report
BG noted that mortar sunk in in the alley on Queensberry side of the building. Mortar does dry and shrink during some number of days. DM noted a lentil on the Jersey Street side on the terrace level, on the right as you exit 111. The lentil looks like it has had major repairs some time in the past—should it be replaced? MA to look into hiring an engineer to do a final walk-through. MA to send cost estimates for the engineer before the board approves the hiring.

Second Means of Egress
Still waiting for the final pricing from Logan Grate. MA expects that Logan Grate will not charge extra to replace the 111-2 grid. (See Window Replacement section for more details.)

Damaged Bollards by the Dumpsters
Cement has been poured, and the bollards for straight for a few days. One bollard was bent again despite the cement. Waste Management is yet to contact KL. The board decided to cut down the bent bollard, and place reflective tape on top of the other two bollards.

Window Replacement
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.

107 Laundry Room Floor
Same.

Dead Tree in Front of 107
We are on the city's "inspection list"--they will come to make sure it is actually dead.

Bad Smell in 107
The drain was cleared out today, 11/18. DM will see if the smell is still present tomorrow.

Issues in the Monthly Financial Statement
Bank statement balance differs from the operating budget because checks may have been cut, but have not yet cleared. Item Complete.

Moped in the Courtyard
There was a moped by the Queensberry alley gate. Notice went to that one. There is one more in the courtyard--MA will put out a notice for it to be removed.

Locking in Oil Price
Locked in at $2.49. Item Complete.

Torn Carpet In The Basement
Carpet is shredded across from Unit 20-A, probably from the vacuum cleaner.

Miscellaneous

  • MA has sent out a reminder to remove AC units out of the windows, but AC units are still in.
  • Fire escape has bricks and/or some other items on the 4th floor balcony of building 107.
  • There was a hot water outage on 11/16 because circulator pump was down (gas furnaces).

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

Structural Needs Assessment Report
Chiccarelli-Pires (C&P) was approved by the board prior to the meeting. MA to ask Noblin to discuss window padding. 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. The board will then decide if the padding is close enough to approve the C&P padding or to proceed with the original plan of only resealing the wood on the old windows.

Second Means of Egress
MA received a bid from Logan Grate to furnish and install 3 window grates with a push lock at $650 each. This bid only covers bedroom windows on the courtyard side. MA to ask for another bid to include grids for smaller windows on the front side of the building.

Inner Courtyard Cleanup
The courtyard cleanup has been moved to May 24th due to inclement weather on May 16th.

Bad Smell in 107 during Peak Shower Time
Smell is gone. Item complete.

Graffiti on 111 Steps
Item complete.

Legal Consultation
The legal consultation fee was approved and the letter has been mailed to the owners. Item complete.

Damanged Bollards by the Dumpsters
The bollards have been straightened out, but not reinforced with concrete yet. David M. will discuss this with C&P when they are onsite.

One of the Dumpsters Damaged
Fixed since the meeting. Item complete.

Window Replacement
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.
