Our taxes in Edgewater are going to be re-assessed in a five-year rolling plan because at this time, our assessed taxes are below 80%. Our taxes are the lowest in Bergen County and our Mayor and Council Members are well aware. If someone thinks that keeping our building neglected and dilapidating will in turn keep the land from being assessed at it’s accurate value for 2020-2025, you are mistaken. Thus–while I was looking at the beautiful orange glowing sunset light upon the GW Bridge and the buildings of Washington Heights juxtaposed with the pot holed, uneven, water collecting, drive way and parking area of Waterside Condominium, Inc.–I thought, well, if it has to be like gravel, it could be nice gravel. There are many fine residential properties, properties with extensive driveways, that choose loose gravel driveways, they are easy to maintain as even ground and are beautiful. We must have good drainage on the river, as we are, and the parking lot drainage is slow and often clogged. The drains need to be raised anyway, and if they were raised, it may be permitted to put in gravel. My heels may dislike gravel but my eyes, footing, and financing would be thankful.

If anyone has a soft area in their floor, don’t let anyone tell you that it is water damage from your heater, or water heater, etc. This is what parquet does when there is moisture from above, from inside our units, it peels up in layers. When you have structural deficits and/or wood rot from under your top flooring is when it bends under your weight, feels soft or springy or spongy.

The corner of parquet peeling up in layers under my HVAC because of moisture. This is water damage from above looks like on wood top floor.

Voting

There’s an election posted for the board elections but the board promised to publicly review and vote on management as is the law every two years. The management was to be voted last October but postponed to January or February, both are past and no notice of a vote announced. They skipped a public vote for management. Such being a fact is, voting in one new board member, as has been done previously, is not going to be effective. At least three new board members are needed along with a new management company to make any differences. Hopefully, please, the management company managing our beautiful twin building next door. It is cost and management effective to follow the lead of our twin building and negotiate contracts based on our huge property here at 1111 River Road.

I will not be running for the board because I do not want to be associated with the financial practices of the current board. In order for me to be on the board, at least 20 owners would have to sign a petition to elect me as board president but only if two new board members, not previous or current members step up as well.

I did not bother voting on May 5th, total waste of time as my voice will always be disrespected by anyone allowed to be on the board or in management. It is like that is a requirement.
