I have.
I bought them from the hardware store on Bedford. I can show you how to replace them if you need me to.

Hi Alvin — This might be a good topic for the Google Group for the building, which sends out email alerts to members when there are new posts. – Phil, 4A

Yes! I decided to disconnect the smoke alarm after it repeatedly turned on when the oven was only at 350. I installed another one which helps but that goes on occasionally as well. I make sure that the kitchen fan is on whenever the oven is in use….sucks.

Is anyone having issues with their smoke detector? Ours is ridiculously sensitive, going off almost any time we’re cooking anything and today when we lit a candle across the apartment.

We tried a few – and finally found a great cleaner – Kazmiera 646 388 2127. $80 for 2 bedroom/2bath – we are very happy with her.

I agree there are mechanical issues in the building. Besides a structural engineer reviewing the building, a mechanical engineer should be called in too. It’s worth the small investment to pay for a team of engineers to come in, which I believe the board is doing from the email they sent out. It protects us to make sure it the building was built to code and industry standards. Send an email to the board with your opinion.

i am really nervous about the hot water breaking down again…not sure how many in the building lost their hot water today. it’s not the worst thing in the world, but it’s really inconvenient when you expect to be able to take a shower and can’t.

if this broke several times last season and is breaking again, then something weird is going on… the inspection should definitely hone in on this issue…

Also agree.
Probably was an oversight.
I am also concerned about large future costs once the assessment is done and therefore the percentage per common interest seems fair.

I agree. I hope it was an oversight in that email sent out…

Bop I agree with you. I’m all in favor of the work being done but all assessments are done on the proportion of the percentage of common interest allocated to each apartment in the offering plan. The offering plan clearly states this is the way assessments are handled. Besides the apartments having a percentage of common interest, don’t forget the parking spots have a percentage of common interests! For example why should residents that don’t have cars pay for a security camera in the garage area, why should residents that don’t have cars pay for an engineer to review the parking garage area? It does not benefit them…. That is why there is a percentage of common interest allocated to apartments and parking spots.

$300 cost now is not a large amount but if we have large future assessments such as a new roof or new roof AC tower this will largely effect us and is not fair. If the Board pushes this through I will hire an attorney, this is black and white and clearly in the offering plan. The building has been looking great and the Board has been doing a great job so far but it is very irresponsible of them not to look at the offering plan before looking to access a project like this.
