On February 19th, contractors that were soldering leaking water pipes in the ceiling of the boiler room accidentally set off a fire sprinkler head. The flowing sprinkler head triggered the fire alarm and an early morning evacuation. Denver Fire crews were on scene in less than 4 minutes. The water damaged several controls in the boiler room, a pump and a motor; damaged drywall and insulation; expelled costly antifreeze from the sprinker system; and rust stained the courtyard traffic coat. The total damages $34,878.62!

The association installed a new backup heat pump last week for a cost of approximately $3,500. The heat pump circulates heat and hot water to the building. If the primary pump failed (which runs 24 hours a day) and the backup pump would not start the building would be without heat and hot water. The board felt it was essential to have a good working backup. (April 20)
