Building water shutoff on Tuesday March 18 at 9am

The Quincy Water Department will be replacing our water meter in the laundry.

Water for the whole building will be shut off on Tuesday, March 18th at 9am. The project should take a few hours.

There is a big chance that a curb stop valve also would need to be replaced. If this is the case it will require street excavation in front of our main entrance.

Thank you

Street work in front of our building on Monday, October 14th

We got a short notice from the City Building department and our contractor about a street work in front of our building.
On Monday, October 14th (Columbus Holiday) they will be connecting our new drain system to the city storm line located under the street. Thomas Burgin Parkway is a busy street and the City would like to take advantage of a low traffic during the coming holiday.

During this day they will excavate the street diagonally from our driveway, connect our drain and patch the street with new asphalt. We expect all this work will be completed within one day.

Thank you for your patience.

Masonry repairs project starts on Thursday October 3rd

Our contractor gets ready with tools and materials and they should be starting on Thursday, October 3rd.
They will start from repairing retaining walls (re-pointing, drainage and cap stones) and we will know more about their plans on facade repair and balcony painting soon.

Our driveway will be busy but we do not expect access problems.

Thank you

Masonry repairs and building waterproofing project starts next week

We have one more restoration project scheduled for this year. It is for masonry repairs, building waterproofing and balconies painting.
It is tentatively scheduled to start on Monday or Tuesday next week (September 30th or October 1st).

As of today, we do not know where our contractor will start their work and how long it will take to compete the project. Hopefully, we will get that information soon after they begin.

We do not expect serious problems with building access but, on the days when the balconies above the garage gates will be painted, access to the driveway might be limited.

Please stay tuned for updates.
Thank you

Driveway will be open on Sunday morning

Our driveway will be fully open for foot and car traffic on Sunday early morning (September 15th).

Thank you

Paving is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, September 12th

It looks like the driveway paving is tentatively scheduled for Thursday this week.
If all goes as planned the asphalt would need 72 hours to cure (to harden) before we can start driving on it. During curing the driveway will not be accessible at all.
Please expect the driveway to be open on Sunday night (September 15th).

Also, there is a chance that the street/sidewalk part of our project will be done on Tuesday or Wednesday this week and before paving. It is for connecting our new drainage system to the city drain.

Please stay tuned for latest updates and do not forget to wipe your feet before entering the building from the garage because the floor gets dusty with fine soil flying in every time when the gates get open.

We are almost done.
Thank you for your patience

You can drive on the driveway at your own risk

The drainage system is installed but not connected to the city drain yet. This work will require excavating the street and sidewalk and it should be done some day next week. We do not have information when it is scheduled.
Our driveway is leveled, covered with gravel, compacted and it is ready for paving. It is about 3 inches below the level of garage floor and sidewalk and it has several manhole risers with sharp edges.
This weekend you can drive on the driveway at your own risk and condo cannot be responsible for damages of your car or tires.

Parking and walking on the driveway is not permitted.

Thank you
