Just a heads up that the boiler will be shut down - this means no heat or hot water - from 8:00 p.m. this Sunday (2/1) night and through Monday (2/2) evening for essential boiler repair work.

On Wednesday, January 21st, 2009 at 7:30pm, members of the board and management will be hosting a shareholder meeting in the lobby. All shareholders are invited to attend. This is an opportunity to ask the board/management any questions you have about our building, and engage in dialogue in person alongside your neighbors. We hope to see you there!
The planning for 2009 is complete, and the following projects are on the docket to improve our building this year.
- Repairs of broken marble on the building's façade
- Fire escape scraping and re-painting
- New ballasts and efficient fluorescent lighting in all public areas
- Hallway lighting decorative fixture replacement
- Replacement of radiator air valves on our 6th floor to balance heat distribution
- Multi-thermostat wireless indoor heat monitoring system for our boiler
- Boiler repairs and efficiency upgrades in anticipation of future replacement
- Garage door replacement, including new safety sensors
- Lobby wall Plexiglas replacement across from the elevator
- Lobby carpet repair or replacement to remove unsightly ridges
- Elevator repairs as needed and required by inspection
Please note that this list is subject to change based on an ongoing needs/cost analysis that the board is always monitoring.
This week, the elevator was out of service for parts of three days. The management and board appreciates everyone's patience during this work on the elevator. You may now notice the smoother and faster-responding movement of the elevator door. A special thank you to the gentlemen from the repair company who worked as quickly as possible, and for long hours, to minimize the time the elevator was out of service.
