Board of Trustees Meeting
February 27, 2025
The meeting of the 1105 Mass. Ave. Condominium Trust Board of Trustees was held on Thursday, February 27, 2025 at 4 PM via zoom.
Present for the Board of Trustees were John Giannacopoulos, Rick Landau, Roger O’Sullivan, Brad Settle, Peter Sulivan, and Bev Thornton,
Also in attendance was Myra Miller.
CITY OF CAMBRIDGE: Regarding unit 3A and the inside condition of the unit, the city had just called to report that they had a meeting of all people involved in this case. Steve is in rehab and will be coming back home within a few weeks. We asked the city to condemn the unit, this is beyond their ability.
PREVIOUS MONTH MINUTES: The minutes of the January 23rd meeting were approved as presented.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: The financial statement was reviewed as well as the list of the account status (delinquents and prepaids). No questions on the financials at this time.
LAUNDRY EQUIPMENT: The internet line from the office to the 3rd floor is installed and ready to go. Comcast will be here tomorrow (Friday) , and the new laundry equipment should be installed next week. We will share thoughts with Brad about what to inform people prior to installation.
1C: The unit owner has put a request to the city to change their tax base from office to residential. Roger reported that the city has passed a zoning tax change. Roger is concerned that maybe our units might be traded off to the city for low cost housing. Suggestion to make a motion that we support commercial units that want to change to residential. Passed by the board.
BEUDO: Roger reported that the city has recently been quiet. It might be active during fall elections
VDA: VDA reported that their production of our RFP has been delayed because they lost one of their people to a health issue. They will get on this right away, and we should have the proposal within 2 weeks to review
TOILET LINE NOTICE: The price for each toilet feed line replacement would be dependent upon how many units in the stack were going to be done at the same time. Brad suggested that we send out the notice and hear back from people who are interested in getting it done. Then we can try to coordinate these stacks. Bev will tweak the notice.
OTHER MAINTENANCE: The new lobby doors will be installed next week. After the doors go in, we will activate the new butterfly panel.
The photocells sensors on the sides of the garage door were installed. These should prevent the door closing on vehicles and eliminate damage to the overhead door.
Where new drains were installed on the parking lot, the drainage is great. Installing channels in the surface is not working great.
NEXT MEETING DATE: March 27th at 4 PM via Zoom
The meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
ELN Management
