Which Risers Are On Tap For 2017?
December 30, 2016
With the Budget Review Meeting approaching, January 9th at 7:30pm in the Party Room, there have been a number of inquiries about the Riser Projects planned for 2017.
Specifics are not yet available, as we are gathering preliminary bids and references for materials, plumbing contractors and a new carpenter. However, based on what we presently know, the following is a list of the domestic hot water risers we plan to look at and the tentative timing work could be possible:
- HIGH ZONE 02/04 (all ’02 unit kitchens and ’04 unit bathrooms from 30 to 55th floors) March and April 2017
- LOW ZONE 14/15 (all ’14 and ’15 unit kitchens from 3rd to 29th floors) May and June 2017
- LOW ZONE 05/06 (all ’05 unit bathrooms and ’06 Mst bathrooms from 3rd to 29th floors) August and September 2017
- LOW ZONE 03/15 (all ’03 and ’15 unit bathrooms from 3rd to 29th floors) October and November 2017
Those of you who have stayed on top of our long term calendar may note, the ’02/’04 riser is being accelerated by several years. That is in response to concerns our team has had, following a number of issues we have had to address on that riser. In an effort to be proactive, we are indeed planning to tackle that riser first, and well in advance of what we had originally planned.
No specific calendar of activities is available as of yet. We are still in the process of getting bids, after which we will seek formal Board approval. However, we do expect preliminary notices to go to the High Zone ’02/’04 tier in January, with more information. We will also schedule a Town Hall Meeting, to sit down with owners and residents, explain the history, process, anticipated schedule and answer questions.
Now would be an ideal time for any Owners in these locations to decide if you want to do remodeling. Particularly if we are going to be working in your kitchen or bathroom. The sooner you start planning, the better.
At any time you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact the office.
