Board Initiatives

What this board is working on for the year ahead.

A living page — updated as work progresses.

This board took office in May 2026 with several explicit priorities. The work below is what each Chair is leading right now, and what residents can expect to see real progress on this year. This page will evolve as the work does — what's here today is the current state of the plan, not the final picture.

Maintenance & Capital Planning

Flavius Chair, Maintenance Committee

Flavius, as Chair of the Maintenance Committee, is working to build a clear picture of exactly what this building needs maintained, in what order, and at what relative cost. The first step is commissioning a reserve study — bringing in licensed engineers to professionally assess the building and the capital needs that follow.

They will confirm and expand on the items we already know are critical:

  • Boilers
  • Access control & cameras
  • Risers and water pipes
  • Façade

The engineers will also surface anything we've missed, recommend the order the work should be done in, and give us a credible estimate of the capital expenditure required. That estimate is what tells the board — and residents — what capital we actually have to plan for.

Streamlining Communication

Brendan President & Chair, Tech Committee

Brendan, in his role as President and Chair of the Tech Committee, is working to streamline communication in every direction — between the board and residents, between management and residents, and between residents and the board.

The goal is faster, clearer information flow with less ambiguity about who knows what. He aims to achieve this with low-cost software and procedures tailored to how this specific building actually operates.

Strategic Funding

Anca Chair, Strategic Funding Committee

Anca proposed the creation of a new Strategic Funding Committee and volunteered to chair it. Its purpose is to seek out any and all funding options — grants, programs, partnerships, and other instruments — that could close the capital expenditure gap identified by the reserve study, while avoiding or reducing the need to raise carrying charges.

Carrying charges are the lever residents feel most directly. This work is what gives us a real chance to address the building's needs without raising carrying charges as a first resort.

What you can expect by year's end

Fundamentally, the board and residents alike are keenly aware that this building has critical infrastructure needs and insufficient current funding. That has been true for a long time.

What is different this year is that, by the end of it, every resident should clearly understand:

  • How much longer this building can run before critical systems begin to fail;
  • What it will cost to restore those systems;
  • Precisely how we plan to obtain those funds.

All of this information will be made continuously available through this website and every other channel the board has. The intent is transparency in real time — not announcements after decisions are already made.
