We are pleased to inform you that Arkay Decorating, Inc. will begin painting the hallways the week of March 11th. The scope of work for this project includes patching, skim coating, and painting of the walls and ceilings. All hallways and apartment doors and door frames will also be painted. We expect the work to take 3-4 months to complete. Arkay will begin in 870 West 181st Street and after they complete 870, they will go on to 860.
Arkay is a U.S. EPA Certified Contractor and will conduct all of their work under EPA and NYC Local Law 1 guidelines, following lead safe work practices due to the age of the building. This will include the covering of hallway floors with plastic sheets and the apartment doors with tape or plastic sheets during the scraping phase of the work, in order to control dust.
The workers will start on the top floors and work their way down. All the work will be performed Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:30AM and 4:30PM. While the work is being performed, you will be able to get into and out of your apartment at all times.
As work on a floor is about to be completed, you will be contacted to arrange to have your door and door frame painted. Arkay will need the door to be open for about 4 hours.
You may receive a copy of the pamphlet “The Lead Safe Certified Guide to Renovate Right” by stopping by Sam’s apartment at any time. It will be left outside his door.
