Maintenance History:
The following improvements were made to the 1349 Race Street property during the eras indicated.

March, 1998:
New Roof – Reconstructed the slope of the roof (to eliminate ponding), and installed a new welded fabric-type roof on the entire building. (Alpine Roofing Company $18,935 - 5 year warranty).

NOTE: Re-checked roof in August 2006 with Rob Tichy, President of Alpine, and had gutters cleaned and lower seams (both at the front of the building and at the rear of the building) re-sealed (precautionary). The roof looked to be in good condition. He recommended that in 3 to 5 years the entire roof should be "silver-coated," and that should add another 8 to 10 years to the life of the roof.

1999:
New Yard Light – Installed a new light over the main driveway in front of the building (SE corner).

New Hot Water Heater – A new 91-gallon gas hot water boiler was installed in the room above the laundry room. ($3,500)

2000:
New Mail Box Area – A new structure was built under the stairs to Unit #5 to house new mail boxes, and storage for maintenance equipment, light bulbs, and other Association supplies.

Laundry Room Improvements – The laundry room door was outfitted with an automatic door closer and a new lock (that requires a key for re-entry).

Building Frontage – The small area of grass in front of 1349 Race was replaced with small stones... and the trees were trimmed.

2002:
Special Servicing of the Heating Boiler – Installed two “thermocouplers,” cleaned the burners, repaired leaks in one of the two pumps.

New Mansard Roofs – Over the entry to each 2-bedroom Unit, and around the top edge of the building. ($6,300)

Exterior Painting – The exterior of the building was completely re-painted. ($7,220)

Bird Barrier Spikes – To discourage birds from perching on the down spouts on the front of the building, “Bird Barrier Spikes” were installed near the top of the building.

September, 2004:
Tree Trimming – The two trees in front of 1349 Race were pruned, trimmed and shaped at a cost of $500 each (Mortensen's Property Services, 990 E. Cottonwood Avenue, Littleton, CO 80121).

October, 2004:
Backflow Preventor – A backflow prevention device (required by the City of Denver) was installed on the boiler system and on the domestic water supply for 1349 Race… and a new water shut off valve was installed.

Sewer Line Clean Out - We had AAA Service Plumbing do a preventative maintenance on the main sewer line on 1/20/06 at a cost of $397.36. They ran 110' of line out to the main sewer line in the alley. The sewer line was accessed from Unit 3A.
