1105 Massachusetts Avenue Condominium Trust

Board of Trustees Meeting

July 24, 2025

The meeting of the 1105 Mass. Ave. Condominium Trust was held on Thursday, July 24, 2025.  Present for the Board were Bev Thornton, Rick Landau, Roger O’Sullivan, Brad Settle and John Giannacopoulos.

Also in attendance were Elder Nunez and Myra Miller

PREVIOUS MONTHS MINUTES:  The June 26 meeting minutes were approved as presented

FINANCIAL STATEMENT:  This is the year end report.  Everything has been sent to the accountant.

BEUDO: No update

VDA: We reviewed the 2 proposals and Cleary is the lowest bidder.  The board voted to go with Cleary for this work.    

Motion to approve the Cleary proposal, seconded, all in favor, motion carried.

UPDATE 3A: This is in the hands of the attorneys. They are looking for a signed contract for him to fix his bathroom.  Ultimately, we will try to get a court order to go in and fix the plumbing.

OTHER UPDATES: Myra gave a brief history of the recent package theft.  We have on camera a video of a women coming into the building and stealing all of the packages.  We called in the intercom contractor to make sure the system is working properly, the locksmith to see how she was entering and made a report to the police.  They stated that it did not appear that anything was broken to enter the building.  Anyone missing a package must report the event to the police individually. 

MOVE IN/OUT POLICY: Roger proposed changes to the moving policy.  We want to discourage weekend moves.  950 Mass Ave. has a $500 charge for any moves, 1075 does not allow moves at all on weekends.    We are trying to prevent damage to the elevators and common areas, as well as monitor the number of strangers in the building.  The intent of this policy change is to stop the weekend and holiday moves.  Discussion tabled for now.

OTHER ITEMS: Water drain line replacement: There is a water drain line inside the Beyond Full restaurant.  We have been chasing this leak for a while; it seemed to be old and not active when first reported.  It has gotten worse, and we found a crack in the drain line in the ceiling of the restaurant.  This line has been replaced but the remaining item is the drain cover on the mezzanine that needs to be rebuilt.  The contractor is coming out Monday next week and will work on the drain.  While he is at the building, we need to have him follow up on the PH-B leak into 12B.  We think that when the owner of PH-B installed her deck they might have penetrated the new roof material with a nail.

Toilet Feed Lines - We need to schedule the inspection of every unit to look at the toilet feed lines to get a count of how many actually need to be replaced.

2G rental: The tenant requested an extension to the lease (which ended July 31).  We do not have a new tenant ready to move in so the lease was extended to August 15th.

New accounting program: ELN reported that they must upgrade to a new program.  This new program will give owners access to their account ledgers and the ability to see their balances as well as make payments of monthly condo fees through the program.

NEXT MEETING DATE:  Pencil in August 28th tentatively if needed.

Respectfully submitted,

Myra Finn Miller
