NYC FORUM TO ADDRESS LOOMING DOOR-LOCK DEADLINE
With New York City's (NYC) new door-lock monitoring rules set to go into effect in less than a year, the New York Association of Realty Managers (NYARM) is presenting a forum, “NYC ELEVATORS. . . to Modernize or, NOT to Modernize?" on February 11 at 6:30 p.m. NYARM notes, "During NYC's mandated elevator door-lock-monitoring device work, logistical best practices are needed, no matter what." More than 40,000 elevators in NYC must have the devices installed by January 1, 2020. The presentations are designed to walk building managers through the process of scheduling modernizations and planning shutdowns. Appearing on the panel will be Joseph Caracappa of Sierra Consulting Group (moderator); Mick Carnevale of Joseph Neto Associates/Lerch Bates, Inc.; Joe Corrado of Champion Elevator Corp.; Dmitri Dits, assistant commissioner of Central Inspections (elevators) with the NYC Department of Buildings (DOB); Charanjeet Singh, PE, executive engineer, Elevators Plan Examination Unit, DOB; plus, legal counsel and senior property management. The forum schedule will include networking, exhibits and dinner refreshments at 6:30-7 p.m., panel presentations at 7-8 p.m. and more networking and meet-the-speakers opportunities at 8-9 p.m. The event will be in Room 301, 500 Eighth Avenue at West 35th Street, NYC. For pricing, more information or to RSVP, contact NYARM Executive Director Margie Russell at phone: (212) 216-0654 or (516) 456-0313, or email.
