Cheng to follow up with Hann & Hann regarding the bill for the Huntley balcony and roof repairs.
- Tile replacement in Foyer at 1756 1/2
Tim reported that his neighbor's floor tiles are partially protruding into the common foyer area. Cheng is to inspect and inform the unit owner of any necessary action.
- Window replacement
Cheng reported he received an introductory letter from an Architect qualified to advise us on selecting windows that meet the historic district requirements. The board feels that the window replacement is an excessive expense to incur at this time and unnecessary. It seems that the extermal framing and sills may be able to be repaired on an as-needed basis.
Cheng to follow up with a contractor to get an idea of the expense and requirements for this work.
- Numbers on the Parking Spaces
Cheng reported that he ordered the stencils for the numbers and Bob Gaston will finish the work shortly.
- Removal of "Junk" Tree
Kassie reported that she got a call about the possible dangers of the "junk" tree in the back alley adjacent to the dumpster.
Cheng to contact the DC arborist to see if he knows of any solutions as well as contacting the phone and cable companies to alert them to the dangers the tree poses to their wires.
We'd prefer to get this tree removed without any cost to the association.

Cheng to contact Tom Spier about sharing the cost of the fence replacement at his yard/dumpster area.
