Bid from Nadja for alternate structural engineer
“Damage” in other units has been primarily related to cracks & water damage to walls as well as around windows

No timeframe included
Thomas moves to approve the CBS bid, the original; Kris seconds. The committee unanimously approves the original bid from Complete Buildings Solutions-Engineering.
Crack issues in many units: see linked albums document
Taften to orginize documentation and get that sent over to CBS. I still need pictures and information from several members and will be reaching out soon.

Small bedroom sheetrock is to be changed out in the big bedroom instead due to it being softer - same cost $250

New water issue in 1801 #5, window issue with the sealant according to Matt from Empire windows who was out to look at the issue. I will have him look at all of the window seals of windows reporting problems.
Committee recommends moving forward with this bid.
Doug boiler license, updated. Still willing to help out with Windows and Boiler/water heaters. Not responding to the windows issues reported previously.
Water heater issue in 1801 on May 25th. I had called NSI/Horwitz previously and they said to wait for failure or replace, since the hot water heater is 20+ years old.
Water heater was set to override, need to replace the water heater.
Committee agrees to move forward with NSI/Horwitz replacement, and this will be sent straight
Any other member is free to get other bids.
In Shannon’s unit, water damage in the ceiling touching Mark Morrills unit.
Squirrels getting stuck in the gutters, need to have open gutters… open a hole for now until gutter replacement
Taften to look into roofing covers and cleaning; Julia sending link to Taften versus open gutters
Check to see if the squirrels dead bodies are causing the water back up.
Landscaping company, might need to come out and check the gutter drainage.
Lawyer about the insurance claim, Drew Update: Lawyers recommendation is
Nadja getting the fire alarm inspection done. Taften sent contact information for company we use.
Nadja will be getting a rug doctor in lieu of carpet cleaning this year, please watch for when that will be at the cooperative. Would prefer having it for a few days so people can coordinate who can clean which buildings.
If you bring new business without giving me notice, then please be prepared to speak on the issue, the solutions, and/or what work/time you are willing to put into the problem/solution.
All quotes & quotes for work required to include cityviewcoop.buildings@gmail.com
