1105 Massachusetts Avenue Condominium Trust
Board of Trustees Meeting
January 23, 2025
The meeting of the 1105 Mass Ave Condominium Trust Board of Trustees was held on Thursday, January 23, 2025 at 4 PM via Zoom.
Present for the Board of Trustees were Laura Cohen, John Giannacopoulos, Rick Landau, Brad Settle, Peter Sullivan, and Bev Thornton. (Roger O’Sullivan was unable to attend)
Also in attendance were Elder Nunez and Myra Miller.
PREVIOUS MONTHS MINUTES: The December 19th meeting minutes were approved as presented.
WATER LEAK INTO ZOES SPACE: There is a new restaurant preparing to open in the former Zoes space. There is an isolated spot in the front of the space that has taken in water during heavy rains. We think it might be water on the mezzanine leaking through. This has been looked at by the plumber (thinking that it might be a drain line with a crack that only leaks when there are heavy rains, overwhelming the drains.) When the waterproofing contractor returns from vacation, he will look at the walkway. We just completed many repairs on the walkway. This may be the time to really look into the re-tiling of the mezzanine.
LAUNDRY EQUIPMENT: We will need signs that say to leave the washing machine doors open at the end of a cycle. Also to order the fences for the backs of the machines.
The Board voted to leave the bases on the 6th floor equipment but do NOT install on any other floor. (Myra be sure the contract reflects that no bases mean an increased percentage of revenue.)
We still need to get a hard-wired connection to the 3rd floor for the value-added machine. (PS the electrician came back and informed us that he can do this)
BEUDO: No update
VDA ELEVATORS: After sending an email that we are going to proceed with phase 2, Myra followed up with a payment deposit and another email telling them that this had been completed. Laura suggested using Associated Elevator as a possible elevator company in the future.
OTHER MAINTENANCE: We need more information before activating the outdoor butterfly and setting the timing on the fobs. We will need a plan for a new recorder for additional camera coverage (we wanted to add a camera to watch the garage door).
.
We need to publish an information sheet when the changes to the butterfly system are ready to implement, as well as engraved postings for the outside doors.
Toilet feed line notice is waiting for cost from plumber
NEXT MEETING DATE: The next meeting will be held on Thursday, February 27th at 4PM via zoom.
The meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
ELN Management
