To: All Residents

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
Date: 3 November 2014

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].

Re: Garage Roof and Interior Repair Program
Date: 27 August 2014

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.

Regarding: Hurricane Preparedness

Dear Residents,

Now that hurricane season is in full swing, the Board wants to remind residents of steps they can take to better prepare themselves in case one approaches NYC. It is the responsibility of each shareholder or resident to be prepared. The Board is suggesting that each household review its own emergency plans and preparations. Here are some ideas to consider:

1. Services may be disrupted, such as:
   1. Electric service, cooking gas and water on higher floors;
   2. Cable TV and Internet service;
   3. Phone service (both cell and/or land lines);
   4. Heat, hot water, cooling and air circulation;
   5. Public transportation and sanitation (trash) pickup;
   6. Elevators may be turned off as a precaution, or electric service to elevators may be lost;
   7. Building staff and management may not be able to get to the building safely or swiftly.
2. Please have non-perishable food (e.g., canned or dried), a manual can opener, and bottled water on hand for yourself, your family (including any infants and children), and pets for up to fourteen (14) days.
3. Please remove EVERYTHING from fire escapes as these could become airborne with high winds.
4. ATMs may not work — have a supply of cash on hand ahead of time.
5. In case a hurricane approaches, the staff will remove toys from the playground as a precaution.
6. If you own a car, you may wish to maintain a full tank of gasoline, do not park in a low-lying area, or do not park under a tree.
7. Replenish your supply of batteries, candles and flashlights (be careful with using candles — please only use on fireproof surfaces). Please check battery-operated smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Have replacement batteries available.
8. Replenish any prescription or over-the-counter drugs and health supplies that are running low.
9. Maintain a manual or hard-copy of important phone numbers, as cell phones may lose charge resulting in the inaccessibility of these important numbers.
10. Maintain adequate levels of homeowners, renters and/or flood insurance (including replacement cost coverage).
11. Keep important documents in a waterproof bag (for example, a Ziploc bag).
12. Check in on your neighbors to make sure they are doing well.
13. An Uninterruptible Power Supply (“UPS”) device may allow for limited computer, Internet and cell phone charging during a power outage (assuming that your Internet service is DSL and that your modem/router is plugged into the UPS).
14. Although the co-op remains outside of the flood zones, after hurricane Sandy, the co-op’s property has been placed in an evacuation zone by NYC. There are six zones. We are now in evacuation zone five (5). The closest evacuation center is George Washington High School, 549 Audubon Street.

Re: Garage Roof and Interior Repair Program: Garage Roof Work Starting

After some delays in getting the DOB permitting to continue work on the garage, work will be starting June 26th. There will be core drilling and probes done to the garage roof by Xinos Construction, and they will be starting to mobilize materials and equipment into the garage.

The garage roof will be closed for general access. There will still be passage from the basement of Bogardus to the trash area and to the side gate and ramp. There will not be access to the garage roof from the lower courtyard or from Nagle Avenue. There will be an updated schedule as the repair project progresses.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
