heating

oil burner primary controls

11/3/13 Sometime after everyone has gotten oil and fired up their heating systems I will have the boilers cleaned and serviced. (they need oil in the tanks to do it). It is getting a little bit harder to find good independent service companies so I may have to set service up with each of your oil suppliers. 1) Could you let me know when you have oil and who you bought it from. 2) If you notice and water dripping from radiators let me kpow about that too.

Thanks,

Dear Donna and Tim,

Once again there are changes in the building, Hilary is traveling this summer and so are Manuel and Maria. We lost a great family when Marco and Tina had to return. We have relisted their apartment today.

It has been are general practice to rent out apartments at market rate or almost market rate but then not raise rents as a matter of course. In your case it is coming up to 11 years since you moved in and 11 years without a rent increase. We have decided that we need to offer to renew your lease for September 1 at a new rent of $2500.

Factors that enter into our decision are that the market rent for apartment 4 is at least the level of your current rent and it doesn't make sense to have that level of disparity in the building. Other factors include my realization that I will have to be more realistic about setting aside money for repairs, since eventually I will have to actually hire other people to do stuff to the building.

Peri and I both hope that you will consider our offer in the best light and that you will decide remain in the apartment. We value your family as great neighbors and an important part of our community. We would be happy to talk with you or meet with you and look forward to reaching a new agreement.

All the best,
Tim and Peri McKenna

Hi Donna and Tim,

apt 5 stove

The first thing I would check is the oven (bake) igniter. How long takes to light up the burner? If it's more then 60 seconds since you've heard a click from the control then the igniter is bad and has to be replaced.

The next step is to check the oven temperature sensor. Pull the range out of the wall, unplug the power cord, remove the back panel and locate the two wires plug for the oven sensor. Unplug it and check the resistance. It should be about 1100 Ohms at the room temperature. If it has more then 20 Ohms difference replace the oven sensor.

If the oven igniter and the oven temperature sensor are fine then the problem is a bad control board.

- The part number for the new oven igniter AP2020569

- The part number for the new oven sensor AP2023670

- The part number for the new oven control board AP3792697

Good luck. Gene.

shower enclosure

Noah and I started work on Sarenna's apartment today. There are a couple of things that need to be done that will impact you:

1. 1. 1. 1. shower in big bathroom

The closet ceiling and living room ceiling in Sarenna's apartment show the evidence of the leaks caused by the shower door and collapsed tiles. It doesn't make a lot of sense to repair and replace ceilings without addressing the problems of the shower.

1. 1. 1. 1. rear bathroom supply piping

There are very few brass water pipes left in the building. All the piping in Sarenna's apartment is brass and, as best as I can tell, the cold water piping in your rear bath is also brass. The second floor piping will be replaced now as it is in poor condition and who knows when I will next be able to get into that apartment. While it is possible to reconnect your old brass pipes to the new copper pipes, it might make more sense to replace all the remaining old brass piping in one fell swoop. That would mean pulling off a band of plaster 2'x 6' under the cabinets in Tai's room to reconnect the fixtures from the back. In either case there will be a a stretch of hours where the water in that back bath will be off untill the brass from the second floor to the basement is replaced. My memory was that I re-piped your bathroom but I was fooled by the illusion of old pipes running through the second floor. Further study revealed that the pipes are already replaced; nothing needs to be done in your rear bath

1. 1. 1. 1. one possible scenario

My preference would be to rebuild your shower and floor (and repaint bath walls and ceilings) first so you have a nice working bath. it is hard to say if that could be done in 3 days to 6 days, it depends on what I find and in making sure all the items I might need are available and ordered before I start.

It would be good to rebuild/repair the shower by October 1. These type of corner showers are called 'neo' showers and most are now glass on all 3 sides. I would tile the other 2 walls. Would that be OK? We could do less; just replace the door, repair the floor and repair the plaster and tiles. I am open to do either.

Let me know what you think. I could come over to talk about how it would go.

Thanks,

Tim McKenna 857-498-2574
