Officers’ reports

After moisture was reported from a unit in the building, the board solicited information from all owners regarding any issues throughout the building.  That information has been collected, and the board is continuing to localize the building areas with problems in order to determine the most cost-effective solution to the problem.  Based on a previous inspection, the most likely sources of moisture intrusion into the building envelope are issues discovered on the roof, around the windows, and in the building’s mortarwork.  Given the repairs that were conducted to the roof this winter, the next likely repairs will be directed at windows.  During discussion with Morrison Hershfield, the company that conducted the 2010 envelope inspection of the building, the company offered, for a fee, to facilitate the bidding and engagement process with area contractors to repair the identified issues.

Terry Spencer reported that he investigated security camera costs as a potential resolution to package theft in the building.  The camera costs run between $200 and $300; together with installation the cost is likely to be reasonable.  However, the board’s concern is in the effectiveness of a camera solution.  There would be no way of determining based on the footage from these cameras whether a package is being stolen versus simply picked up.  The board will follow-up with the building’s community manager to determine if she is aware of solutions that other homeowners associations have used to solve this problem.

Voting forms will be sent out shortly to all homeowners to approve changes to bylaws to make the building non-smoking and to adjust requirements that will facilitate collection of delinquent accounts.  If the board receives sufficient approvals, the bylaws updates are expected soon after.
