brings major improvements for shareholders
Th e fi rst phase, for example, began
in November of 2017 and includes the
installation of new windows, air conditioners
and video intercoms in every
apartment. Th e construction crews
install all the components in the same
day, unit by unit, minimizing the hassle
for the residents. Since the board
wanted all of the apartments to place
the air conditioners in the same window
to give the buildings a uniform
appearance from the outside, they purchased
brand new air conditioners for
every unit that had window air conditioners,
Kinitsky said.
Th e project also involves the installation
of new elevators, which began in
July. It takes seven weeks to complete
each elevator, and Kinitsky said that
additional employees have been made
available to assist residents with carrying
things up the stairs while the elevators
are being built.
While the pool and tennis complex
are also seeing some improvements
during the project and the community
room is getting an interior renovation,
the biggest addition will be a
5,500 square foot fi tness center complete
with an aerobics and spin room,
an Olympic-sized swimming pool,
weights and machines scheduled to
open by next summer.
Members of the Fitness Center will
have access to personal trainers and a
full schedule of weekly classes.
“One of the most sought aft er amenities
in any coop is a fi tness center
and we are pleased to be able to provide
that for our residents. Th e amenities
at Windsor Park make it one of the
most complete communities around,”
said Kinitsky.
So far, the improvements are a big hit
with a number of Windsor Park residents.
“My windows, air conditioners and
video intercom were installed perfectly
in a few hours,” said Sharon
Levy. “Th ey work so well and I’m so
pleased with everything. Th ey are so
nice and effi cient and the process was
so easy.”
“I can’t believe that all the upgrades,
including the construction of a new fi tness
center were without any charge to
shareholders,” added Ron Brodsky. “I
don’t know of any coop that can spend
$22 million on improvements and not
ask shareholders for a penny.”
