PRINCETON AIR HANDLER & ROOF PROJECT – MAY 2 2024

Good morning everyone! For those on the 12th floor, we are sure we are hearing the footsteps on the roof and no it’s not Santa coming early this year. The roofers are up there cleaning the Princeton section of the roof in advance of the coating material being applied. Most of the equipment being used on the roof is gas-powered, so we had to turn off the Princeton air handler to prevent the fumes from entering the building. The unit will be turned back on when the crews leave and off each morning when the work starts.

At present, this only impacts the Princeton air handler, as no work is taking place on the Harvard wing of the building.

Thanks for your understanding in this matter. Any questions, please contact the Management Office.

HARVARD PARKING LOT REOPENED – MAY 1 2024

The crane was able to make quick work of getting materials up on the roof! All the equipment is gone and the lot opened back up except for those parking spaces that will house the dumpster and port-o-potty.

Many thanks to everyone for their cooperation today.

MEETING RM & LIBRARY PATIOS – APR 30 2024

We placed chairs and a small table on the Library and Meeting Room balconies. Those using the rooms, now have a place to sit, relax and enjoy the lovely outdoors. The beautiful flower pots were planted by the Outdoor Committee for the pool area, we are just borrowing them until the pool opens! The Outdoor Committee will be planting flower pots for both the patios (Meeting Room & Library), in the near future.

ROOFING PROJECT REMINDER – APR 29 2024

As a reminder, the Harvard parking lot will be closed on Wednesday, May 1 beginning at 6 am and until the crane leaves the site late in the day.

Residents should be aware that they WILL NOT be able to enter or exit the HARVARD building at ANY location while the parking lot is CLOSED. Please remind any guests/visitors that they MUST enter or exit ONLY through the Princeton building.

CONTRACTOR SCHEDULING – APR 26 2024

All residents please be aware that you MUST contact the Management Office and schedule your contractors in advance. This includes carpet cleaning vendors. A deposit should be on file with the office and contractors may only work during permitted hours.

Unfortunately, we are having contractors show up without being scheduled, working beyond permitted hours, making deliveries through the main lobbies, ,all because they don’t know the rules. When you call the office to schedule, we will remind you of the rules your contractor needs to follow.

It is in everyone’s best interest to contact the office to determine elevator availability and allow us to track a contractor should damage occur or we need a vehicle move.

Thanks for your cooperation in this matter.

ROOFING PROJECT START DATE – APR 22 2024

A more detailed notice is being drafted and will be sent out this week, so this is just a short SAVE THE DATE type of thing.

On Wednesday, May 1, the roofer will have the materials delivered for this project. We will need to CLOSE the Harvard parking lot, beginning at 6 am on May 1 so the crane can come in and set up. The crane will then hoist the materials onto the roof around 8 am, lasting approximately 6 hours. The crane will then be dismantled and leave the lot around dinner time.

Residents and guests that usually park in the larger section of Harvard and by the carports, will need to have the vehicles out of the lot no later than 6 am. Parking on Harvard Avenue will not be an option as the crane will need to navigate Harvard Avenue. We suggest parking in one of the other parking lots on the property that day.

A portion of the Harvard lot will house the dumpster for the duration of the project. Again, more details will be provided in the memo that will go out this week.
