It’s been a busy month at West Gate House, between the TRV installations and continued work in both the 860 and 870 lobbies. Below are a few updates for all residents:
Lobby Renovations
In 860, the tiles are almost finished being laid, following the completion of the subfloor and piping work. The next significant part of lobby to be addressed is the vestibule. The Board is working with our architect and designer to choose a new front door, focusing on aluminum and stainless steel options. In 870, we are nearly at punch list stage. As many of these items will also need to be addressed in 860, there are some cost and efficiency advantages to waiting on 860 in order to address the punch list for both buildings together. These include replacing signage, putting up framed photographs, installing a new inset rug just inside the exterior door, installing a new exterior awning and new exterior lights, painting the elevator door, and replacing the radiator covers.
TRV Installations
TRV installations continue this week and next. The Board has discussed needing to schedule some installation make-up dates for resident who were either not able to be home or provide access on the days their floor was visited by our plumbing partner. If you’re interested in a make-up date, please let the Board know at wghpresident@gmail.com. In the near future, we will also be sending out an instructional sheet about how to use your new TRV.
Watering
Each year, we rely on an amazing crew of dedicated volunteers to help us water and tend to our treepits and courtyards. If you would like to help out this summer, please let the Board know.
Missing Tax Refund Checks
It’s come to the Board’s attention that a few residents have had tax refund checks go missing (and in some cases, fraudulently endorsed). We know of at least one other situation several years ago with a building in the neighborhood where several residents had their refund checks stolen. If this has happened to you, please let the Board know by emailing us at wghpresident@gmail.com. It would be helpful to know how widespread this issue is, as there is more power in having a group that’s been identified to help authorities investigate further.
As always, you may contact the Board at wghpresident@gmail.com with any questions.
