1105 Massachusetts Avenue Condominium Trust

Board of Trustees Meeting

June 26, 2025

The meeting of the 1105 Mass Ave Condominium Trust Board of Trustees was held on Thursday, June 26, 2025 at 4 PM via Zoom

Present for the Board were, John Giannacopoulos, Rick Landau, Roger O’Sullivan, Brad Settle, Peter Sullivan and Bev Thornton.

Also in attendance were Elder Nunez and Myra Miller.

Also in attendance was Rob Campbell from VDA.  We need to make sure that side wall access costs are included in Cleary proposal to make it more comparable to Stanley.

Alternative for gearless machine (new gear box or does the existing one get refurbished), we need further clarification.

There were questions about the availability of chips and parts for future repairs.  All companies are using 3rd party parts except Kone who uses only their own products.

Rob will go back to Stanley and Cleary and ask for a final number from both.  He needs to clarify what part of the fire alarm is included in their proposals.

During construction there was concern about the elevator that is in service, who will maintain it?  The company doing the work will maintain it.

The board will discuss who they prefer and if we want to give Stanly the final number to see if they can meet the lower price and get back to Rob.  (go to Cleary first and then give the price to Stanley to see if they can meet this price)

The Board discussed including the gearless machine at the time of modernization.  It is encouraged.  They typically try to replace everything at the same time, but you are not required to do it.

PREVIOUS MONTH’S MINUTES:  The minutes of the meeting of May 22nd were approved as presented.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT AND ACCOUNT STATUS: No major categories in question.

BEUDO: Nothing to report at this time.

3A: We have been communicating with owner and the attorney, and it is very frustrating.  We sent a demand letter with a deadline, but we have not moved forward on our demand because it appeared that there was cooperation on the owner’s part.  The City will not move on any of this.  It was suggested to put a final date on this action.  Tell the attorney to put a final date of July 15th and when that date passes, we move forward.

OTHER MAINTENANCE: We received a proposal from ACP for upgrading the fire alarm system to a modular system.  We need to find out if the upgrades are needed for Café Sushi to open (PS no they are not, ACP can upgrade Café Sushi on the old system so there will not be any hold up to their re-opening of the restaurant).

MOVE IN/OUT: It was asked if we can change our current rules and not allow moves on weekends and holidays.  We should increase the rate that our guys are paid for coming in a weekend or holiday.  Roger offered to sit down with the parties involved (Elder and Myra) to create a proposal for the board to review.  Include rules and fines on move ins and out and enforcement of the breaking of the rules.  Motion seconded and approved.

NEXT MEETING DATE: July 24th at 4 PM, we will skip an August meeting but may have a special meeting if needed for the elevator contract.

Respectfully submitted,

ELN Management
