The Board has asked me to post the following:

Due to unprecedented supply chain issues facing the manufacturer, the parts for our garage door have been delayed until at least the end of the month. Our installer, who this building has used for years, has never seen this type of backlog happen before. We live in unusual and challenging times.

If the parts come in on the new date, we still hope to have the repairs done and everyone back in the basement garage by November 1.

In the meantime, important improvements have been completed. The basement ceiling has been repaired. The entry points from the garage to the residences feature long-overdue security via a new fob system. In addition, plans are in place for repainting the lines and numbers; management is working on getting the ramp potholes filled; and additional work on the ceiling along the north wall is being researched.

There have been people wondering why we couldn’t just leave the door open and continue using the basement garage during this time. Unfortunately, in light of an ongoing lawsuit at a Boston condominium, legal counsel advised that the Board must take measures to secure the basement to avoid significant risk to the Association.

The Board apologizes for the inconvenience and thanks everyone for their patience.
