President’s Message
Local Law 152 Update
As reported at the October 6 shareholders’
meeting and in last month’s Cryder
Point Courier, reparations for the 21
Building cooking shutdown involve
a very lengthy process. At that time
(which now seems like eons ago), the
estimate was that the work would be
completed by the end of the year, so
the long duration is not new news.
However, the process has been
further stalled by a stop-work order
imposed by the DOB. A Building Link
notification of this was sent out as soon
as the order was received. We do not
know who placed the call or the intention
of the person who did it. Even if it was meant
to help speed things up, a call to the DOB or
other city agencies adds to delays since these entities
have their own internal politics and timelines which
further complicate matters. Residents who have questions
should first contact Management.
Regardless of the stop-work order, we have not been
idle. We have been soliciting additional bids from contractors
to ensure we will be having quality work done
at a fair price. At press time, we do not have all of the
proposals yet; as soon as we do, we will be pulling the
numbers together and conducting side-by-side comparisons.
Accordingly, we are seeking a venue to hold an
in-person shareholders’ meeting as soon as possible to
present all the particulars to shareholders. This situation
is complicated by the fact that the Community
Room remains closed. The damage in the room from
Hurricane Ida cannot be addressed yet as the insurance
adjuster is experiencing a backlog of claims (and
the room might be too small for this meeting anyway).
Our usual offsite locations (the Bay Terrace Jewish
Center; local grammar school) are not renting space
at this time as they are undergoing their own repairs,
so we are looking for an alternative site as quickly as
possible.
We will update residents as we receive more information.
Thanks to everyone for your continued patience.
Local Law 11 Inspections
These inspections began on October 27 and, overall,
have been proceeding smoothly. Thanks to everyone
for clearing their balconies so thoroughly and quickly.
We anticipate this project to be completed on
time. As of now, we do not expect any unwelcome
surprises and will advise residents
of the final disposition as soon
as we have it.
Management Office: By Appointment
Only
The Management Office is open
Monday–Friday from 10 am until
4 pm. An appointment allows the
office to set aside sufficient individual
time to help residents with their
questions and concerns. To schedule
an appointment, please call Stacey
Pankavich at 718-767-5003, Ext. 2, or
email her at spankavich@cryderpoint.
com. Thank you.
BuildingLink Reminder
Those of you who have active accounts are aware of
the many updates that are sent out from Management
using this tool, such as emergency repair notifications,
etc. It’s a lot faster and more efficient than using paper
notices, and everyone is urged to sign up. Please contact
the office if you have any questions about how to
get started.
Emails to the Board and Management
If your question involves building or property
issues, please email Management at bnewell@cryderpoint.
com and/or spankavich@cryderpoint.
com. If you would like to email the board directly
regarding a building or property issue, please be
sure to also include Bill and/or Stacey. Building/
property issues are forwarded to them, so including
them in your initial email will help with a
faster response.
And on a lighter note…
There was a great turnout for this year’s Halloween
Parade on Sunday the 31st. The pictures paint a thousand
words, and I hope you enjoy the coverage on
Pages 6 and 7 in this issue.
Please keep an eye out for the flyers announcing our
5th Annual Food Drive, happening now through November
17.
Speaking of food, Thanksgiving is right around the
corner and Hanukkah starts at the end of the month.
On behalf of the Board, I wish all the residents and
staff at Cryder Point the best for fun and festive holidays.

A Fond Farewell
RICK AND ESTHER AT ONE OF CRYDER
POINT’S EPIC POOL PARTIES
We rarely (if ever) get a
chance to say “Bon Voyage”
to longstanding residents who
move away, but it’s nice when
we can.
Rick Buser and his wife, Esther
Lugo, are heading off to
Florida soon and I have to say,
it seems like they have mixed
emotions. “We will surely miss
everyone at Cryder Point,”
Esther said, somewhat wistfully. “All the friends we’ve
made, the staff and, of course, great memories during
these 18 years living here.” Esther wanted to make sure
we’ll be in their thoughts. “All our best wishes to everyone
else at Cryder Point,” she added.
And all our best wishes to you, Rick and Esther. At
least you’ll be in the same time zone, so don’t be strangers!
