accountant


We’re a small (10 unit) coop looking for a new accountant to do our taxes and annual audit. We do the books ourselves on quickbooks. Last couple of years we’ve paid a guy $2,500 for the taxes and audit, but he’s slow and not responsive enough. Any suggestions on someone who can handle for a similar price?

Square Foot Construction Costs


I live in and help run a five story walk up brownstone coop with around 7,200 square feet of total space. Our insurance policy expires soon and I want to increase the coverage. We currently have $1 million, which seems low given construction costs should there be a catastrophic loss. The question is, what exactly would it cost per square foot to replace a five story, 7200 square foot building in brownstone brooklyn. We wouldn’t need to cover interior finishes, that’s responsibility of the individual owners. I’ve heard anywhere between $150 and $300 a square foot. Any ideas?

Heat Timer


The heat timer unit connected to my five story building’ relatively new weil mclain gas boiler is shot. I was very unhappy with the contractor who installed the boiler, so i’m looking for someone new to replace the heat timer. The boiler is gas fueled, but has the unusual set up of having a gun style burner, usually seen on oil burners. any suggestions?
