Arrears report:

(A). Unit # 6: This Unit is now almost $16,000.00 in arrears. Wells Fargo Bank holds the mortgage on this property but has not, as yet, scheduled a foreclosure action. As previously reported, the HOA sued the Desvarieux sisters now living in the unit, but was unsuccessful in that action.

(B). Unit # 16: CitiBank held a foreclosure auction on December 2nd. This unit was purchased by CitiBank for $750,000.00, CitiBank is now paying all Common Charge including arrears from December 2016.

The Board won a judgment covering non-payment of Common Charges from the previous owner (Louis Zazzarino) of the Unit; going back through May 30, 2016. The Board filed a second action against Mr. Zazzarino, (former owner of this Unit) to recover arrears from June 1 through November 30, 2016. We are waiting a resolution of this action by the court.

Collection of arrears from Unit 16 and the rental of three (3) parking spots have added to the income of the community.

The Board also discussed:

(1). Various landscaping issues with Ron Vitti: These included exploring changing the sprinkler system, improving pruning of plants in the community and determining the cause water flooding areas between Units 1 & 2 and the area behind Units 29 & 27.

(2). As previously mentioned in the December minutes- Suez Water Co. charges “Gated Communities” (including Brookridge HOA) $2,200.00 more per fire hydrant than they charge the City of New Rochelle. The Board previously voted on a proposal to join the other Gated communities in New Rochelle to withhold paying the charges on the 3 hydrants within our property. This action was scheduled to begin in December but was delayed by the New Rochelle HOA.

(3). Our community’s pool will open in early May.
