THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR PATIENCE!

THE 70 CLARK ST. BOARD OF DIRECTORS

12/1/2023

Unfortunately, we are having a mechanical problem with the boiler.  The repair crew has been called and will hopefully have it running soon.  This does not affect the hot water, only the heat.  We will keep you updated.

Thank you for your patience and understanding!  

11/27/2023

The Boiler is expected to be up and running very shortly.  Our crew of mechanics has been working all day and they expect to be done this evening.  Thank you again for your patience and understanding.

Earlier today, we informed you of the boiler going down.  Mechanics were dispatched and, upon inspection, they found internal components of the boiler that need to be replaced.  This is a sizable job.  They will begin working Sunday morning and it is expected to be completed Monday afternoon.  You may hear noises in the radiators while the work takes place.

Unfortunately, the building heat will be off until the work is complete.  

Be aware that the hot water system is separate and working.

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience while this necessary repair takes place.  

Thank you,

The Board of Directors

ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING

The meeting details were mailed to all shareholders on 1/13/2023.  Please keep an eye out for the details.

FOLLOW-UP:  WATER SHUT OFF

The repair was completed today.  Additional work is needed and will be performed at a later date - to be announced.  Residents are instructed to run their kitchen and bathroom water lines to evacuate scale or rust that may have been dislodged during the shutdown.

We thank you for your cooperation!

WATER SHUT OFF - EMERGENCY REPAIR

Due to a plumbing emergency, a repair will take place Tuesday, January 17th, 2023, starting at 2:00 P.M. and ending at approximately 6:00 P.M. The cold and hot water supply to the entire building will be temporarily turned off. We understand this will be an inconvenience to many residents and appreciate your patience and thank you for your cooperation.

Packages and Pests

12/2/2022

As the holiday season is upon us, there will be an increase of packages and shipments delivered to the

building. Please be mindful to pick up all packages in a timely manner as the package area must not

become obstructed with boxes and packages. This is not only a trip hazard to all, but also becomes a

temptation to passing “Package Pirates”. As more residents shop online, space to accommodate daily

deliveries becomes very limited if previous shipments remain.

Additionally, it is extremely important that food packages be picked timely and not remain in the package area.

A report was received that a rat was sighted in the basement garbage area over the Thanksgiving

weekend. An exterminator visit was scheduled and after the basement was surveyed, traps were

installed. The exterminator will return in a few days to determine the next round of treatments needed

based on the results of the first treatment.

As you may be aware the vermin issue is a city wide problem. In order to prevent this at 70 Clark Street

we need residents to inform management if they encounter any so that we can treat it immediately.

We are fortunate not to have been as impacted as other buildings. In order to better control this we

remind all residents must take their own trash / garbage out regularly in tightly sealed bags. Trash must

not be left outside the apartments, in hallway areas (including the chute closets) or any other common

areas. Additionally, food containers should be rinsed out before being disposed.

Trash must not be allowed to drip or come apart while being taken down to the trash area and must be

placed inside receptacle cans. Leaking or untied bags will attract unwanted pests and create additional

cleaning problems. Only if the trash cans are overflowing, should bagged trash be placed neatly in front

of the cans.

Care should be taken so that bags do not break or tear which, in turn, create a difficult mess for the

building staff to clean and create an unpleasant / unsanitary odor and attract unwanted “visitors”.

Special care should be taken when handling cat litter or any product used in litter boxes. Please be sure

to secure cat litter in plastic bags and place it within trash cans.

With the cooperation and help of all residents, we can continue keeping this building an enjoyable place

to live.

70 Clark Board of Directors

Revised House Rules

11/22/2022

In light of the latest IMPORTANT information regarding the dangers of lithium batteries, as posted by Management just last week, the board has decided to ban them entirely from the building.  We feel this is a small step to take that could potentially prevent a disaster.  This is one of the changes in our house rules. (section 42).

The other change regards smoking and other odors in the building. (section 21)

FIRE SAFETY

11/17/2022

There have been numerous fires in the neighborhood this year, some of which have sadly displaced people from their homes.

In an effort to improve fire safety at 70 Clark, the Board has decided to purchase and install a new smoke/CO detector for each apartment, free of charge!!

Will we advise the details shortly and provide a sign-up sheet in the lobby.

Gas odor

8/25/2022

Yesterday afternoon a tenant informed management that there was a strong gas odor on their floor and that they had called National Grid.

Management advised them that they would call someone with a gas detector to come and inspect.

A call was immediately made to Richard Younger (super) who came within minutes to inspect.

He found that there was no sign of a leak in the building but it was actually coming from another tenants stove that was malfunctioning.

The stove was shut down and the shareholder of that apartment was contacted to repair/replace the stove.

We are happy to report that National Grid did eventually come to inspect and found no signs of leaking gas anywhere.

IMPORTANT!

Thursday, May 12,2022.

Yesterday some members of the board and the management company, Adventure Properties, were made aware that the Clark Street facing windows of three apartments were damaged by unknown objects, some dating back a couple of weeks ago, and another on Tuesday evening.

Due to the serious and potentially dangerous nature of this matter the board called the police to investigate. A squad car was sent the officers took an initial report. The precinct later sent a ballistics unit to further examine the damage, which at this time is is suspected to have come from a BB pellet.

If a window in your apartment is struck, PLEASE call 911 immediately so police can investigate. Please then contact Adventure Properties at 718-488-9430 so they can keep track of the situation and keep the board up to date. The board is cooperating with the police during this ongoing investigation.
