Annual budget meeting 2024 – Update

The following is a reproduction of a memo dated 8 January 2025, distributed by management to all shareholders [PDF version].

Dear Shareholders,

During the December meeting, the Board finalized the 2025 budget. Last year two assessments were announced for the elevator replacement project (ending 1/2031) and façade repairs (ending 1/2025). The facade work will be completed in the next few months, and the elevator replacements will start in 2025 with 31 Nagle, followed by the other two in 2026 and 2027. There are no new capital assessments. However, there is a 4% increase in maintenance starting February 1, 2025, to offset operating costs.

Following the large increase the year prior to balance the budget, the increase this year is to account for uncontrollable costs related to the employee union contract increases, RE tax increases and most importantly the rising cost of building insurance. Insurance premiums across all of NYC are on the rise even with minimal insurance claims over the last 10 years in the building. Carriers are not providing coverage the same as in past years due to wind and water events in the North East. The insurance broker is working to minimize the renewal in the summer but we are anticipating double digit increases.

Please also note that residents using the parking garage will see an increase in their monthly parking from $200 to $250 in February. This is the first increase in over a decade but is still more than 50% less than if you were a regular monthly parker in the garage. Please keep in mind the garage is operated by a private company and not by the coop directly.

Sincerely,

The Board of Directors

If you wish to run for the Board, please send a bio to my attention so it can be distributed to the shareholders before the meeting. I should be in receipt of this bio no later than Thursday, 1 October, in order to have it distributed prior to the meeting with proxy ballots. Write-in votes will be available on the proxy ballots sent out prior to the meeting. You are encouraged to include a picture or headshot. The bio can be emailed to and should be in Word format.

A general proxy is attached. We do ask that everyone return the proxy prior to the meeting so that there is a quorum.

COVID-19 – Masks and face coverings

MEMORANDUM

To: All Residents

Date: 22 May 2020

Re: Masks and face coverings

While we wait for more information from local and state authorities on plans to reopen and enter into Phase 1, all emergency COVID-19 rules previously circulated are still in effect. Please make sure all members of your household are advised of all rules and procedures. Please forward to any tenants and subtenants.

Mask and face coverings

  • Everyone should be wearing a mask when you leave your apartment. That includes all residents. If you have a medical condition or disability that prevents wearing a mask, please take extra precautions. Practice social distancing at all times.
  • We continue to receive complaints about residents not wearing a mask or face covering in public. Even when walking outside, a mask or face covering should be readily available for use when near other people.
  • Hallways, elevators, laundry rooms, basements, outdoor areas are all considered public spaces. Masks must be worn in these areas.
  • Children over the age of 2 should be wearing a mask.
  • All non-residents must wear a mask at all times while on the property. This includes guests, visitors, aides, etc.

Masks and face coverings are for your protection and the protection of others you encounter. Wear one when you leave your apartment.

COVID-19 – Update, 15 May 2020

MEMORANDUM

To: All Residents – Nagle Apartments

Date: 15 May 2020

Re: COVID-19 – Update

Please make sure these notices are reviewed with all residents in your apartment. This includes but is not limited to family, aides, domestic employees, renters, and sub-tenants.

Annual shareholders meeting

The annual meeting originally scheduled for next month has been postponed to the fall, when, hopefully, it will be safe to meet as a community in some fashion. Board elections will be held at the meeting. As soon as there is clarity on what date the meeting will be held, official notices will be sent out. Financial information will be sent out by the end of the month.

Non-essential work

  • As parts of the State move towards phase 1 of re-opening plan as set forth by the Governor, NYC is not part of that yet. That means that non-essential work is not allowed in apartments at this time, and any future work must be approved by management prior to being scheduled.
  • As soon as that is possible for your building it will be announced. Please be advised that any alterations or major renovations will have to be done under very strict guidelines to limit traffic in the buildings and to be sensitive to the many residents working from home in terms of noise.

Executive order – face coverings

Governor Cuomo issued an executive order still in effect stating that masks or face coverings must be worn anywhere that you are unable to maintain proper social distancing.

  • All residents should be wearing masks or face coverings when they leave their apartments at all times. Hallways, lobbies, elevators, laundry rooms, and mail rooms are all areas where it is hard to properly practice social distancing.
  • Anyone non-resident who enters the building must have a face covering. There are no exceptions.

No smoking

  • Smoke is not permitted to escape your apartment and into common areas per building regulations. This is especially important during these times of residents being primarily at home. As the weather gets warmer and windows are opened, smoke should not waft into neighbors’ windows either.
  • Do not smoke outside of any building entrance. This is not permitted at any time and especially during this period of social distancing. Walk away from the building if you are going to smoke.

Trash

  • Please make sure that all trash is bagged properly. Loose trash, especially organic garbage, should not be placed in trash barrels or thrown down the compactor chute. It has to be bagged.
  • Trash bags being placed in the trash barrels should be sealed tightly. This helps prevent vermin.
  • Recycling must be organized properly. Boxes should be broken down and only placed in proper areas for collection.

Noise

As all residents adjust to staying home, please remember that there will be more regular noise than usual, especially during the day. There are people working from home, students home schooling, and non-essential workers out of work, among others. However, please be respectful of your neighbors and try to limit noise as best as possible. Physical activities should be curtailed to apartment conditions and coordinated on a schedule with your neighbors, if it is problematic. All apartments are required to have 80 percent floor coverings.

Laundry carts

  • If laundry carts are still in use, please do not remove them from the laundry room. You should wash your laundry bag to reuse with clean laundry or clean your non-washable basket before reusing.
  • Laundry carts are for laundry only. Please do not transport other items using the cart.

Paperless billing

  • Due to the delays with the US mail, management is strongly recommending everyone sign up for paperless billing. You can turn it off at any time.
  • If you do not receive regular mailed invoice by the end of 5 May, please contact me.
  • To sign up and activate this service, you must follow these steps: Go to the reviewmyinvoice.com and click on “Register Now”. The information that you enter, such as your name, address, and account number (including hyphen), should be exactly as they appear on your rent bill. The whole process will take just a few minutes.

Special recycling programs suspended

The city has suspended all special recycling programs, which includes textile/clothing bins, organic recycling, and eCycle electronic recycling. Organics and textiles can be thrown out in regular trash. Electronics must be kept in apartments or brought to recycling centers. Many centers are closed, so keeping in your apartment for the time being is the best course of action.

Newspapers

If you are not staying in your apartment during the pandemic and have newspapers being delivered, please notify the super if you want them put in your apartment. Otherwise, they will be recycled after a few days. This is to avoid old papers from piling up.
