Building Maintenance Updates

 

 
 

The missing lower parts of the building downspouts on the driveway side were recently replaced. This should alleviate some of the puddling and leaking that were happening on the basement level.

Scaffolding is scheduled to be delivered by the end of the week for the front façade refurbishment, per the Master Insurance Claim. This may cause some inconvenience for sidewalk traffic in front of the building, and tenants living in the front units should be aware that scaffolding and workmen may be directly outside their windows while the repairs are being done.

Facade Damage/ Roof Repairs

On October 29-30th, a large section of the copper facade on the front of the building broke away from the roof during the heavy wind/rain storms we had over the Halloween weekend. Maintenance noticed it was loose, and pulled the loose section up onto the roof, securing it so that it would not blow away or fall to the into the street. One of the copper downspouts at the back of the building was also damaged. Markwood is in the process of making arrangements to have these repaired as quickly as possible.
