services need to be upgraded or new services need to be added, the
North vault contains free space to add equipment. The South vault
currently cannot accommodate any new electrical equipment.
The simple truth is that the
quality of life in Battery Park
City has been immeasurably
improved by the existence of the
marina and the club/school. The
real estate agents who sell
condos and coops in BPC should
be sending commissions to
North Cove Marina.
– Josh Goldberg
After Hurricane Sandy, all electrical meters were replaced in kind and in
the same locations. No changes were made to the layout of the
electrical system. Therefore, we believe all work done when the marina
was built prior to 1989 was according to code. If the code has changed,
than this equipment would be grandfathered. We believe there is no
change needed to any of the electrical sub-meters.
5.2 Recommendations - The existing cold water services to both the
North and South side of the marina have pipe leaks and corrosion. We
recommend the replacement of the existing water services with new
meter, RPZ, piping and insulation. In addition, the copper sump pump
discharge pipe, located in North utility vault and South water meter
vault is corroded. We recommend replacing the corroded pipe and
fittings.
We do not believe the water service on the north or south sides of the
marina leaks contrary to the surrey report. We do leak tests at the
marina every spring when the water is turned on and again during the
summer. We would like more information from the contractor to know
what specific leaks they observed as these were not detailed in the
report. It is possible that the contractors observed condensation on the
water pipes. Depending on the flow of water through these pipes as well
as the humidity of the vaults, this could have been significant
condensation which could have been misread as leaks.
