I am on the BoD of condominium complex. Management advised that the elevators could be removed from the Capital Reserve as they were “well maintained”. The elevators have been in the Reserve for 17 years. What is your advice re: elevators?

One of our older staff will not work with our younger staff because of what they feel is a lack of respect for coronavirus safeguards. They need to work together. The older staff member is not really working and the lost of productivity is hurting the association. The younger staff member is following basic guidelines as far as we can tell. Can we put the older staff member on notice that this is no longer acceptable? The association can not afford this to continue.

Doors difficult to open.  Strange smells in corridors and lobbies.  Inconsistent temperature regulation.   These are all very common issues in high-rise buildings which are usually due to poor ventilation and building pressurization.  It is in the best interest of the building and its tenants to have a Professional Engineer conduct a property condition assessment to find the root of the problems and make professional recommendations to alleviate the ongoing issues.
