It also recommends that the Board not replace the 2nd floor hallway carpet, to be re-considered tonight, due to the concrete wall and low lighting aesthetics which are not present on the residential floors. In addition, it recommends that the 55th floor porcelain tile, found between the service area and the stairwell to the roof, be replaced by the same vinyl tile located in the service area in order to better match, as voted on by a supermajority of the residents of the 55th floor. The commission’s next meeting is Monday, July 22nd at 6:00 pm in the party room. All owners are welcome to attend.
