565 W. QUINCY CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION
Have You Seen the Q Room Lately?
Unit Doors & Elevator Door Frame Painting
The Exercise Room had new equipment delivered this week, go take a look-see. Starting 5/9/16 it will be painted, and starting 5/17/16 the carpet will be installed. The Q Room Commission is in the process of selecting new furniture. Looking Good!
After the Q Room painting is completed (week of 5/9/16), the contractors will resume painting the hallway doors and frames. They couldn’t do it while they were doing the walls, as it is a different kind of paint (enamel –vs- latex). They have completed the 17th & 18th floors, and they will be going down from there. Please be aware of wet paint.
Property Tax Assessment Appeal Successful! Elliott & Associates appealed 565 W. Quincy’s property tax valuation and secured nearly a million $$ in reduction in assessments. This translates to approximately $170k in tax savings per year for the building, over the next 3 years. This will be charged back to the unit owners later this summer. If you’d like your unit’s specific information, the spreadsheet is on www.565WestQuincy.com.
