OIL TANK ABANDONED
F.Y.I. Our buried oil tank in the rear of Cryder House
has been properly abandoned; drained of any oil sludge, and filled with concrete slurry as per New York City code. This is done in an effort to preclude a spontaneous cave-in and possible injury and or loss of life.
GARAGE CHAIR LIFT
Contracts are in place and just as soon as permits from the city are approved, work will begin on the installation of a chairlift, which will provide for shareholders to move from garage level to basement level of the building. The chairlift is “key” operated. Shareholders requiring this accommodation will be able to secure a key for same in the office after the installation.
SECURITY’S A PRIORITY AT CRYDER HOUSE
The board of directors considers the security of shareholders to be a priority. Accordingly, a series of protocols for security agents has been developed over time. Members of the board along with our resident manager meet regularly with our security agents along with their supervisors to assess their performance and to review our policies. At the same time, the board and
management encourages and receives feedback and input from the agents.
We are reminding all shareholders that any and all guests and/or delivery personnel MUST be announced by security agents via our intercom phone system prior to their being admitted to the building. Should guests and/or delivery persons appear at your door with no prior announcement, you are asked to advise the office of same.
OUR ART IS HOME GROWN
We hope you have taken the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful display of Mike Reed’s photo/art work adorning the halls adjacent to the clubroom.
Thanks Mike for making this area of the building something for us all to enjoy.
STORAGE ROOM MATTER-PLEASE TAKE NOTE
Each apartment is permitted one storage locker in one of the two storage rooms in the basement for a one time, non-refundable/non-transferable administrative fee of $100.00.
As of late, staff has reported a number of large items stored on top of and adjacent to lockers.
Please be advised that all such items are subject to being removed and discarded by our staff. They should be stored inside lockers and/or in apartment units.
PROMENADE/SEAWALL REPAIRS
Work on repair of our seawall and promenade areas will commence with the onset of warmer weather. We continue to expect the project to be completed this spring prior to the beginning of the pool season.
BREAK DOWN THE CEREAL BOXES
Please be reminded that cereal boxesARE NOT to be left in the compactor room. They are to be broken down and left in the plastic bin in the laundry rooms… and styrofoam egg cartons go down the chute with regular kitchen garbage.
