1105 Massachusetts Avenue Condominium Trust
Board of Trustees Meeting
July 23, 2026
The meeting of the 1105 Mass. Ave. Condominium Trust Board of Trustees was held on Thursday, July 23, 2026 at 4 PM via Zoom.
Present for the Board were Bev Thornton, Peter Sullivan, Bob Whittaker, Laura Cohen and Alexandra Solemano. Brad was out of the country and could not attend.
Also in attendance were Elder Nunez and Myra Miller.
PREVIOUS MONTHS MINUTES: The June 25, 2026 meeting minutes were approved as presented.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT AND ACCOUNT STATUS: No discussion or questions – this is the yearend report.
BEUDO: Brad did report the needed information for our classification.
ELEVATOR KICK OFF MEETING: The kick off meeting is August 25 at 1 PM. Bob gave Brad the name of a person to be project manager, but we don’t know if he was contacted. We need to follow up with Brad and Bev suggested that another Trustee also join an initial meeting to make sure we are all ready to move forward. We need to communicate to residents and owners about this project. In the past there was a lot of communication about what to expect. We have not done a newsletter since last fall. Bev can’t do the newsletter now. Bob offered to pick up writing the newsletter and Laura offered her office printer to help.
TOILET VALVE REPLACEMENT: We have done 3 stacks so far. We have not planned for the situation when something happens in a unit that was not replaced. Elder has communicated with owners who did not give access to their units but repair did not get done. Plan for a paper trail of communication with all owners whose valves were not replaced.
REQUEST FOR A PUT AND TAKE FOR BOOKS AND MAGAZINES: There was some discussion about the location, 3rd floor laundry room makes sense for a location since the value added machine is there and all people adding money to their cards go to the 3rd floor. Then put in the newsletter that we have a small lending library in the 3rd floor laundry room.
2G LEASE RENEWED: The lease was renewed with the current tenant. The rent has increased $100 per month in this new lease.
OTHER MAINTENANCE ITEMS: Motion to approve the parking lot repair expense and the garage light fixture base, Seconded, all in favor, motion passes.
Ray met Bradley last week to discuss the plumbing needs in the building. There was a lot of water in the street at the last rain storm, it was suggested that we call the city to clean the street drain.
The drains on the mezzanine were overwhelmed during the recent rainstorms, and we are cleaning the mezzanine drains tomorrow, 7/24.
Regarding the roof covered in grease from Boston Burger Company, they cleaned the roof and are in the process of getting a new venting design. When Allstar comes out, have him look at the roof material and evaluate whether damage has occurred as a result of the grease. Elder said that the roof is much better now, they have put down absorbent material on the roof. We need to follow up with them and find out when they replace the vent.
NEXT MEETING DATE: Elevator meeting is 8/25 at 1 PM. The next Board meeting will be Thursday, 8/27 at 4 PM
Respectfully submitted,
ELN Management
