Replacement of Windows & Balcony Doors

Here is the 2014 schedule for replacement of windows & balcony doors:


January -- complete/sign the contract

February -- stage the building for the project which includes balcony repairs

This means that scaffolding will be put up around the building and protection (covered) walkways will be installed on street level in various places around the building (similar to what you see at the Irene on Williard Ave).

The scaffolding and protection will be in place for as long as the project is in progress which is expected to be one year.

David Robinson provided this additional information:

Ken Kosteva of Wiss, Janney and Elster (WJE) preselected four general contractors with experience in the repair/replacement of building facades.  They were provided the statement of work with specifications and drawings.  They each responded with proposals and were interviewed by WJE personnel and members of the MR&R Committee.  Manganaro was selected as the best value, also the least expensive.  The Board of Directors voted to award the contract to them, and WJE with input from Ted Ariev is currently negotiating the contract for the Elizabeth.  We expect to have it signed before the end of the year.


The company that the contract is being worked out with will use 2-3 teams of workers.

They have not yet determined where the work will begin -- that is part of the contract negotiations underway now.

March -- work begins pending weather conditions.
