The project to replace the main water lines serving all the the High Zone hot and cold water risers (serving the 30th to 55th floors), has been scheduled to begin on Monday March 25th. A calendar of the expected activities related to this work is listed below. Workers are expected to be conduct this work in the hallway and the crawlspace above the 55th floor from March 25th through Friday May 9th. They will begin by 9am each weekday and plan to wrap up work by 5pm, though workers anticipate mobilizing around the 8am hour to gear up and make preparations.
55th Floor Ceiling Demo – Monday March 25th thru Friday March 29th
55th Floor Prep and Plumbing – Monday April 1st thru Friday April 5th
55th Floor New line Prep & Test – Monday April 8th thru Friday April 12th
30 to 55th Floor WATER SHUTOFFS Wednesday April 10th, 11th and 12th 9am to 5pm
55th Floor Demo Old Plumbing – Monday April 15th thru Friday April 19th
55th Floor Insulation Work – Wednesday April 17th thru Tuesday April 23rd
55th Floor Reconstruction – Monday April 22nd thru Friday May 10th
Due to the nature of this work, there will be hallway obstructions from time to time, noise, dust and other conditions which could cause some frustration and inconvenience. The noise may be heard downward several floors, particularly during the “Demo” work, and especially the demo of old plumbing. We appreciate all our residents patience and understanding while this important improvement is made.
ALSO, residents of 5501, 5506 and 5511 will need to be accessed during the project (similar to the above schedule), as the valves to the main lines are above the entryway ceiling. That is the bad news – the good news is, as a part of the project, these valves are being relocated to the hallway. So that will decrease the need for access from in or above these units in the future.
