Attention Owners in the 01 and 02 tiers who wish to replace unit windows: Supreme Windows was able to secure a window replacement permit for Unit 502. The permit allows for brick-to-brick replacement of the "historic" (12th St- and Mass Ave-facing) windows-- meaning identical to how they are currently installed. Since brick-to-brick installation is allowed, the replacement cost per window will be reduced (by about $100 per window from what was originally quoted) and the estimated manufacturing/delivery time of the windows will be reduced. In order to secure a SECOND, identical permit for ALL OTHER OWNERS in the 01 and 02 tiers who wish to replace their historic windows, we need to know exactly which owners/units are still interested in moving forward . The permit is valid for one year from the date it is secured, which gives owners some time to save/plan for window replacement. PLEASE SEND the BOARD an EMAIL BY DECEMBER 2nd ( board@thenewplaza.com ) and indicate if you want ...

Residents are likely aware that the laundry machine credit card readers (and related website  www.checkmywash2.com ) have not been working properly for the past few weeks.    The technicians at Coinmach are currently troubleshooting the matter.  We're told that it is likely a problem with the online system and will be repaired by the end of next week.  In the meantime, please continue to use the MoneyCards to pay for laundry services.   Also, as a reminder -- the Board does not actively monitor the laundry room whiteboard.  Problems with the laundry machines themselves should be reported directly to Coinmach.  If, after next week, there continues to be a problem with the credit card readers, please contact Thos. D. Walsh via email  office@thosdwalsh.com   and cc the Board at  board@thenewplaza.com .   We will post again on the Listserv when the matter is resolved.  Thank you for your patience.
