Re: Garage Roof and Interior Repair Program
Date: 6 March 2015

As the garage interior project completed its 7th month, the upper level structural and concrete repairs have been completed. The soundproofing and insulation below the residential areas of 31 Nagle and 14 Bogardus are being completed this week. The new lighting and the new epoxy flooring is scheduled to be done by March 25th. At that time the first floor will be able to be partially open for residential parking. Specific information on Nagle Apartment Corp. residents registering for using the garage will be sent out by next week.

The work on the bottom floor is over two-thirds completed, with the majority of the cement fireproofing already being done. The structural repairs to the steel support beams will be done on or about April 3rd. At that time the floors and lighting will be prepped for installation. The lower level of the garage should be open by May 15th, and Xinos should be completely done with the project by May 31st.

The garage roof level will have the railings installed and will be reopened to general traffic in about 4 weeks. Until then, please continue to not walk on the roof. It is still a construction site. The roof sill still not able to be used recreationally. The board has chosen a roof deck designer, and the construction of that roof deck will be at the end of summer or early fall. In the interim, there will be areas designated for furniture so the roof can be used. Furniture cannot be placed directly on the new roofing material (both white and blue).

As the garage interior project enters into its 6th month, the upper level is close to being completed. Over the next 3–4 weeks, the insulation and insulated panels are being installed below the residential areas, the walls are being painted, and the new garage floor epoxy covering is being applied. There is still some concrete work that is being completed to fulfill the required fire proofing.

While work is being completed on the first floor, the structural steel repairs is being done on the bottom floor. This work does not require as much concrete removal and does not require concrete forms to be built. This means that the work on that level will have less noise and vibration impact. There will still be noise and vibrations, just not as much as the first level. The structural work on this revel is anticipated to be done in March. The bottom floor’s walls and floor can be completed at that time. Xinos has increased their crew size to try to finish this work even earlier.

The first floor cannot be open for cars until the floor is completed and the structural work is completed below and signed off by the city. The structural work is being done from the front of the garage to the back so that the first floor can be opened in sections for operation. An update will be given on that timing in 3–4 weeks.

The garage roof level is still a construction area and should not be accessed for regular passage or recreational activities at any time. The board has interviewed landscape designers for the garage roof deck installation. An announcement on that design will be made at a later date. Please stay off the roof for general purposes until further notified.

From: Blue Woods Management Group

During the holiday season we would like to remind all residents to be extremely careful with decorations, Christmas trees, lights and candles. The number of injuries and fires during the holiday season throughout the city has increased over the years. Please make sure Christmas trees are watered frequently and that holiday lights are safe to use without any signs of bare wires.

Do not place Christmas trees near any radiators or other sources of heat. Artificial trees should come with a label that states the tree is fire resistant. That label does not mean that the tree cannot catch fire, so precautions still need to be taken.

Candles should be extinguished when you leave your apartment. They should be placed on a stable surface where they cannot be knocked over by a child or a pet. Holiday lights of any kind should indicate that they have been tested by a nationally certified testing laboratory, such as “UL.” Check all extension cords to make sure they are rated for the intended use. Do not use cords with any cuts or signs of fraying. Never place an extension cord under a carpet as that is a fire hazard.

NYC Department of Sanitation will be doing their curbside Christmas tree recycling pick up from Monday January 5, 2015, to Friday January 16, 2015. Trees can be placed on the curb where the garbage is normally put out anytime during this period. The trees should not be wrapped and all lights, ornaments or other decorations removed. The city mulches the trees and uses the mulch in parks and playgrounds. Please take precautions when removing the tree from the building to try and limit the amount of needles that are dropped as they can be very difficult to clean up, especially from the elevator saddles. It is recommended to wrap the tree when removing it and then unwrap it on the street.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. We wish you a safe and Happy Holiday Season.

Re: Garage Roof and Interior Repair Program

Please be advised that the work on the interior of the garage is progressing. The removal of the damaged concrete has taken longer than expected due to the strength of the original concrete. The removal on the top floor is primarily done and work has started on the steel and concrete repairs. The ceiling insulation panels, new lighting and resurfacing of the floor is scheduled to start shortly. That level will open as quickly as possible.

The board is currently working on the plans for a new garage management company and design for the garage roof deck area. There will be updates on these items individually as those decisions are finalized.

The lower garage level will have work started on it shortly including the removal of concrete. The noise from this work will be primarily heard in the basement of the buildings with far less of an impact than the work on the top floor.

The roof level is still a construction area and should not be accessed for regular passage or recreational activities at any time. The railings and stair replacement and repairs will be done in 2–3 weeks. Please stay off the roof and stairs until further notified.

Subject: Shareowner Committee Meetings
Date: 14 October 2014

Garage Deck Steering Committee

The Board is seeking guidance on two immediate items: what type of decking material to place on the garage roof; and what type of fencing design to use (both necessary so that we can re-open the deck) and some longer term items like what to put on top (the fun stuff). If you can, please attend at least one of the following meetings:

• Thursday, October 16th, 8:30 p.m.
• Sunday, October 19th, 3:30 p.m.

Garage Operations Committee

The Board is seeking guidance on what type of operating model we want to use for the Nagle Garage and what changes we want to see on how it operates. The immediate need is to select a list of conditions we would want to place in a request for proposal (RFP) in order to select a garage management company. If you can, please attend at least one of the following meetings:

• Thursday, October 16th, 7:30 p.m.
• Sunday, October 19th, 4:30 p.m.

Meetings will be held in either the lower courtyard garden behind 37 Nagle (weather permitting) or in the basement of 37 Nagle in the bike room.

If you can’t attend but would still like your thoughts to be heard, please e-mail your thoughts to Steve Vernon at [click to reveal e-mail].

Please be advised that the main garage level roof replacement is almost complete. The new roof membrane will be installed by the end of next week if not much sooner. The new roof does not have a paver or walkway system at this point. It should only be used for emergency passage or to get from the Bogardus basement to the Bogardus side gate. Smoking or grilling is prohibited on the roof as it will damage the membrane. Please do not bring chairs or other furniture onto the roof as it will damage the membrane.

The roof is still a construction area and should not be accessed for regular passage or recreational activities at any time. The fencing and stairways still require repairs and are a hazard until completed. Please stay off the roof and stairs.

The work on the interior of the garage will begin in full force on September 2nd. There will be loud noises during demolition of existing concrete in need of repair. The plan is to have the first floor of the garage open to residents by October 1st. This will be updated as work progresses.

The new Board of Directors, including elected officers, was announced and posted to the building bulletin boards on 10 August 2014.
