(24) Delivery Rules – These Delivery Rules have been formulated with the express purpose of protecting the Lessor against liability while at the same time making deliveries as convenient as possible for the Lessees.

For ease of reference, these

201w16hous.rul.doc

Delivery Rules refer to the “Lessees,” but apply as well to any occupant of an apartment, each of whom must individually comply with these Rules:

In all instances, the elevator operators will refuse to accept any such packages on behalf of the Lessee, unless the Lessee shall have signed and delivered to the Superintendent a Waiver in the form annexed to these By-Laws as Attachment A. Once the Waiver is delivered to the Superintendent, he will provide the elevator operators with a Waiver List. The elevator operators will be authorized to accept such packages only on behalf of the Lessees identified on the Waiver List, and, at a convenient time, will deposit the package in front of the outer door of the occupant’s apartment. Notwithstanding that Lessees may have provided the Superintendent with a Waiver, the elevator operators, at their sole discretion, may refuse deliveries of any living creature or hazardous materials, and shall refuse to accept delivery of any packages that they deem, “suspicious,” or that might block egress to the hallway, or otherwise pose a threat to the safety or security of the residents;

As a result, we must alter our procedures for the conducting of Open Houses in ourbuilding to ensure the safety and security of our building. The new Open Houseprocedure is as follows:

• Notify the building's Superintendent of the schedule for the Open House nolater than 3:00 PM on the Friday before the planned Sunday's date.Notify the building's Superintendent of the schedule for non-Sunday OpenHouses at least 48 hours in advance. Telephone: 212 255-2544.

• The Real Estate Broker must station a person in our lobby to collect namesand addresses of the attendees of the Open House, and direct the attendeesto the correct apartment. These records must be maintained a minimum offour (4) weeks, and be provided to the co-op upon request.

• The Real Estate Broker must also station a second person in the apartmentbeing exhibited for the entire duration of the Open House period. Thoseattending the Open House must not be left unattended.

Please make sure this is implemented immediately on any Open Houses that youschedule in our building. Attendees will not be admitted to the Open House unlessyour representative is in our lobby to admit them.

RE: HOMEOWNER'S INSURANCE

I would like to take this opportunity to remind all shareholders of the importance ofcarrying adequate and up-to .•date insurance on the contents of your apartments. By theterms of the Proprietary Lease, even if there is damage to your apartment caused by abuilding component, the coop's responsibility is limited to the floors and walls of yourapartment, and does not include responsibility for restoring specialty finishes. If youhave custom paint or wallpaper, the coop will be responsible only to plaster and paint in astandard color. The coop, and its insurance company , will assume no responsibility forfurnishings, personal belongings, or such "improvements" as kitchen cabinets and otherbuilt-in furniture. These are items that must be covered by your own insurance policy.

Living in an apartment building makes it especially important that you have sufficientcoverage. As managing agents, we had two instances last winter when apartments weredamaged by steam leaks while the residents were away. Several hours of steam saturatingan apartment can do more damage to furniture, art work, pianos, etc., than you canpossibly imagine.

Further, please remember that your policy should include sufficient liability insurance tocover any instances of damage to other shareholders' apartments that might be caused bysome problem in your apartment, such as overflowing sink or tub, or a broken pipe underthe sink, etc.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact your building manager.

Insurance.Summary

INSURANCE SUMMARY This summary has been prepared as a brief explanation of the coverage usually carried by our buildings and as an answer to the many questions asked us concerning the boundary between the building entity’s and the individual apartment owners insurance.

PERSONAL INSURANCE

HOMEOWNERS TENANTS POLICY Your building has purchased insurance that covers the Building, Rental Value/Common Charges and/or maintenance. Legal Liability and Water Damage. Apartment owners should purchase a “Homeowners Tenants policy. This combines into a single contract protection for furnishings, wearing apparel, improvements and betterment (painting, wallpaper and decorating) as well as personal liability and additional living expenses protection. Available policies are Tenants policy. Condominium and Cooperative as the case may be. Most shareholder/unit owner policies include Water Damage coverage as pointed out under the Water Damage paragraph. As an extension under this policy, coverage on fine arts, jewelry, furs and other valuable personal property may be included.

PERSONAL UMBRELLA LIABILITY This coverage is available for owners and tenants. Like the Commercial Umbrella Liability coverage, this policy would pick up where your primary coverage leaves off.

BUILDING INSURANCE Building and contents

Coverage consists of Fire, Extended Coverage, vandalism Mischief and other Allied Perils on the building including machinery fixtures, equipment and furnishings used in the operation of the building. This does not extend to cover additions, improvements and betterment made by the shareholder unless originally furnished by the corporation. The shareholder’s special improvements should be covered under their personal Homeowners Tenants policy.

RENTAL INCOME INSURANCE The building insures itself against the loss of maintenance charges through untenability of an apartment after a fire or other insured peril. For the tern of untenability, the Building’s insurance would relive the shareholder of the obligation for maintenance charges. However, this coverage would not provide the shareholder(s)/unit owner(s) with the costs incurred while living elsewhere during the term of the restoration.

LIABILITY INSURANCE The comprehensive General Liability portion of the Multi Peril policy provides legal costs and indemnity for damages awarded to others (not employees) against the building because of the accidents arising out of the existence of common property. Although this coverage protects your interest in the building’s assets, it does not cover your individual liability that would be obtained under the shareholder’s Homeowners Tenants policy.

Insurance.Summary

BOILER AND MACHINERY This coverage is carried to protect the building against boiler and air conditioning damage. The most valuable part of this protection is the required inspection services by the carrier’s engineers. This also covers any ensuing damage caused by a boiler loss.

DIRECTORS & OFFICERS LIABILITY

This coverage indemnifies the corporation for a loss which it would be legally obligated to pay because of any civil claims made against the insured’s Directors, officers or Manager caused by any negligent act, error omission, or breach of duty while acting solely in their capacity as a member or the Board.

WORKERS COMPENSATION This covers the Building’s statutory obligations to its employees for medical costs and loss of time through injuries suffered in the course of their employment. Again, this does not extend to cover personal employees of the shareholders and/or unit owners.

DISABILITY BENEFITS This coverage also required by law, is carried by the building for the building employees.

WATER DAMAGE INSURANCE MULTI PERIL POLICY

The Corporation carries Water Damage insurance covering damage to the building and its equipment caused by accidental discharge or leakage of water. This is known as Direct Water damage. This coverage does not apply to the personal property of the shareholder(s) and/or unit owner(s). The shareholder(s) and/or unit owner(s) should obtain a Homeowners Tenants policy which covers direct water damage to the shareholder(s) and/or unit owner(s) personal effects. In the event of a loss due to Direct Water damage, the damage to the building would be submitted to the Corporation insurance carrier and the individual owners’ damage should be submitted to their own carrier.

EXCESS/UMBRELLA LIABILITY As a supplement to the liability coverage under the Multi Peril policy, the building is further protected by an Umbrella / Excess policy. This contract picks up where the primary insurance leaves off. It provides increased limits of liability and covers legal liability hazards.

Many houses and apartments built before 1978 havepaint that contains lead (called lead-based paint). Leadfrom paint, chips, and dust can pose serious health

hazards if not taken care of properly.

By 1996, federal law will require that individuals receive certaininformation before renting, buying, or renovating pre-1978 housing:

LANDLORDS will have to disclose knowninformation on lead-based paint hazardsbefore leases take effect. Leases willinclude a federal form about lead-basedpaint.

SELLERS will have to disclose known infor-mation on lead-based paint hazards beforeselling a house. Sales contracts will includea federal form about lead-based paint inthe building. Buyers will have up to 10days to check for lead hazards.

RENOVATORS will have to give you this pamphlet before starting work.

IF YOU WANT MORE INFORMATIONon these requirements, call the National Lead Information Clearinghouseat 1-800-424-LEAD.

Are You Planning To Buy, Rent, or Renovatea Home Built Before 1978?

This document is in the public domain. It may be reproduced by an individualor organization without permission. Information provided in this booklet isbased upon current scientific and technical understanding of the issues present-ed and is reflective of the jurisdictional boundaries established by the statutesgoverning the co-authoring agencies. Following the advice given will not neces-sarily provide complete protection in all situations or against all health hazardsthat can be caused by lead exposure.


IMPORTANT!

Lead From Paint, Dust, andSoil Can Be Dangerous If Not

Managed Properly

FACT: Lead exposure can harm young children and babies even before theyare born.

FACT: Even children that seem healthy canhave high levels of lead in their bodies.

FACT: People can get lead in their bodies bybreathing or swallowing lead dust, orby eating soil or paint chips with lead in them.

FACT: People have many options for reducinglead hazards. In most cases, lead-basedpaint that is in good condition is not a hazard.

FACT: Removing lead-based paint improperlycan increase the danger to your family.

If you think your home might have lead hazards, read this pamphlet to learn some

simple steps to protect your family.

People can get lead in their body if they:

◆ Put their hands or other objects covered with lead dust in their mouths.

◆ Eat paint chips or soil that containslead.

◆ Breathe in lead dust (especially duringrenovations that disturb painted surfaces).

Lead is even more dangerous to childrenthan adults because:

◆ Babies and young children often puttheir hands and other objects in theirmouths. These objects can have leaddust on them.

◆ Children’s growing bodies absorb morelead.

◆ Children’s brains and nervous systemsare more sensitive to the damagingeffects of lead.

Lead Gets in the Body in Many Ways

1 out ofevery 11children inthe UnitedStates hasdangerouslevels of leadin the blood-stream.

Even childrenwho appearhealthy canhave dangerouslevels of lead.

Lead’s Effects

If not detected early, children with high levels of lead in their bodies can sufferfrom:

◆ Damage to the brain and nervous system

◆ Behavior and learning problems (such as hyperactivity)

◆ Slowed growth

◆ Hearing problems

◆ Headaches

Lead is also harmful to adults.Adults can suffer from:

◆ Difficulties during pregnancy

◆ Other reproductive problems (inboth men and women)

◆ High blood pressure

◆ Digestive problems

◆ Nerve disorders

◆ Memory and concentrationproblems

◆ Muscle and joint pain Lead affects thebody in manyways.


u

A simple blood test can detect high levelsof lead. Blood tests are important for:

◆ Children who are 6 months to 1 yearold (6 months if you live in an olderhome with cracking or peeling paint).

◆ Family members that you think mighthave high levels of lead.

If your child is older than 1 year, talk toyour doctor about whether your childneeds testing.

Your doctor or health center can do bloodtests. They are inexpensive and sometimesfree. Your doctor will explain what the testresults mean. Treatment can range fromchanges in your diet to medication or ahospital stay.

Many homes built before 1978 have lead-based paint. The federal governmentbanned lead-based paint from housing in1978. Some states stopped its use evenearlier. Lead can be found:

◆ In homes in the city, country, or suburbs.

◆ In apartments, single-family homes,and both private and public housing.

◆ Inside and outside of the house.

◆ In soil around a home. (Soil can pick uplead from exterior paint, or othersources such as past use of leaded gasin cars.)

Get your children tested if youthink yourhome hashigh levels of lead.

Lead-based paint that is in good conditionis usually not a hazard.

Peeling, chipping, chalking, or crackinglead-based paint is a hazard and needsimmediate attention.

Lead-based paint may also be a hazardwhen found on surfaces that children canchew or that get a lot of wear-and-tear.These areas include:

◆ Windows and window sills.

◆ Doors and door frames.

◆ Stairs, railings, and banisters.

◆ Porches and fences.

Lead dust can form when lead-based paintis dry scraped, dry sanded, or heated. Dustalso forms when painted surfacesbump or rub together. Lead chipsand dust can get on surfaces andobjects that people touch. Settledlead dust can reenter the air whenpeople vacuum, sweep, or walkthrough it.

Lead in soil can be a hazard whenchildren play in bare soil or whenpeople bring soil into the house ontheir shoes. Call your state agency(see page 12) to find out about soiltesting for lead.

You can get your home checked for leadhazards in one of two ways, or both:

◆ A paint inspection tells you the lead content of every painted surface in yourhome. It won’t tell you whether the paint is a hazard or how you should deal with it.

◆ A risk assessment tells you if there areany sources of serious lead exposure(such as peeling paint and lead dust). Italso tells you what actions to take toaddress these hazards.

Have qualified professionals do the work.The federal government is writing standards forinspectors and risk assessors. Some states mightalready have standards in place. Call your stateagency for help with locating qualified pro-fessionals in your area (see page 12).

Trained professionals use a range of meth-ods when checking your home, including:

◆ Visual inspection of paint condition andlocation.

◆ Lab tests of paint samples.

◆ Surface dust tests.

◆ A portable x-ray fluorescence machine.

Home test kits for lead are available, butrecent studies suggest that they are notalways accurate. Consumers should not relyon these tests before doing renovations or toassure safety.

If you suspect that your house has leadhazards, you can take some immediatesteps to reduce your family’s risk:

◆ If you rent, notify your landlord of peel-ing or chipping paint.

◆ Clean up paint chips immediately.

◆ Clean floors, window frames, windowsills, and other surfaces weekly. Use amop or sponge with warm water and ageneral all-purpose cleaner or a cleanermade specifically for lead. REMEMBER:NEVER MIX AMMONIA AND BLEACH PRODUCTS TOGETHER SINCE THEYCAN FORM A DANGEROUS GAS.

◆ Thoroughly rinse sponges and mopheads after cleaning dirty or dustyareas.

◆ Wash children’s hands often, especiallybefore they eat and before nap timeand bed time.

◆ Keep play areas clean. Wash bottles,pacifiers, toys, and stuffed animals regularly.

◆ Keep children from chewing windowsills or other painted surfaces.

◆ Clean or remove shoes before enteringyour home to avoid tracking in leadfrom soil.

◆ Make sure children eat nutritious, low-fat meals high in iron and calcium, such asspinach and low-fat dairy products. Children with gooddiets absorb less lead.

What You Can Do Now To Protect Your Family

In addition to day-to-day cleaning andgood nutrition:

◆ You can temporarily reduce lead haz-ards by taking actions such as repairingdamaged painted surfaces and plantinggrass to cover soil with high lead levels.These actions (called “interim controls”)are not permanent solutions and willneed ongoing attention.

◆ To permanently remove lead hazards,you must hire a lead “abatement” contractor. Abatement (or permanenthazard elimination) methods includeremoving, sealing, or enclosing lead-based paint with special materials. Justpainting over the hazard with regularpaint is not enough.

Always hire a person with special trainingfor correcting lead problems—someone whoknows how to do this work safely and has the proper equipment to clean up thoroughly. If possible, hire a certified leadabatement contractor. Certified contractorswill employ qualified workers and followstrict safety rules as set by their state or bythe federal government.

Call your state agency (see page 12) forhelp with locating qualified contractors inyour area and to see if financial assistanceis available.

Take precautions before you begin remod-eling or renovations that disturb paintedsurfaces (such as scraping off paint or tear-ing out walls):

◆ Have the area tested for lead-basedpaint.

◆ Do not use a dry scraper, belt-sander,propane torch, or heat gun to removelead-based paint. These actions createlarge amounts of lead dust and fumes.Lead dust can remain in your homelong after the work is done.

◆ Temporarily move your family (espe-cially children and pregnant women)out of the apartment or house until the work is done and the area is prop-erly cleaned. If you can’t move yourfamily, at least completely seal off thework area.

◆ Follow other safety measures to reducelead hazards. You can find out aboutother safety measures by calling 1-800-424-LEAD. Ask for the brochure“Reducing Lead Hazards WhenRemodeling Your Home.” This brochureexplains what to do before, during, and after renovations. .

If you have already completed renova-tions or remodeling that could havereleased lead-based paint or dust, getyour young children tested and followthe steps outlined on page 7 of thisbrochure.

Remodeling or Renovating a Home WithLead-Based Paint

If not conductedproperly, certain typesof renovationscan releaselead frompaint and dustinto the air.

◆ Drinking water. Your home might haveplumbing with lead or lead solder. Callyour local health department or watersupplier to find out about testing yourwater. You cannot see, smell, or tastelead, and boiling your water will not getrid of lead. If you think your plumbingmight have lead in it:

• Use only cold water for drinkingand cooking.

• Run water for 15 to 30 secondsbefore drinking it, especially if youhave not used your water for a fewhours.

◆ The job. If you work with lead, youcould bring it home on your hands orclothes. Shower and change clothesbefore coming home. Launder yourclothes separately from the rest of your family’s.

◆ Old painted toys and furniture.

◆ Food and liquids stored in lead crystalor lead-glazed pottery or porcelain.

◆ Lead smelters or other industries thatrelease lead into the air.

◆ Hobbies that use lead, such as makingpottery or stained glass, or refinishingfurniture.

◆ Folk remedies that contain lead, suchas “greta” and “azarcon” used to treat anupset stomach.

What is lead?Lead is a poisonous metal. It is found inmany places, especially in paint in homesbuilt before 1960. It can also be in dust,water and soil.

Can lead affect your child’s health?Yes. Lead is a poison. Too much lead inthe body can cause a serious health risk tochildren. Lead poisoning can impairchildren’s health, learning and behavior.

Most children who have elevated blood leadlevels do not have symptoms. You musthave your child tested to learn if your childis at risk for health problems related to leadpoisoning.

How can children get lead poisoning?Most commonly, lead-based paint is thecause of lead poisoning. It may be found inolder homes in NYC (especially those builtbefore 1960). When this paint peels, orwhen it rubs against another surface, it canbreak into paint chips or crumble into dust.Young children can swallow lead dust andpaint chips when they put their fingers, toys,or pacifiers in their mouths. This normalhand to mouth behavior in children undersix makes them more likely to get leadpoisoned. Less commonly, lead that cancause lead poisoning also may be found inwater, dirt (soil), traditional medicines,cosmetics, cans, pottery and as a by-productof some adult occupations and hobbies.

The floor in and around the workarea must be covered with thickplastic or equivalent sheeting.Before removing furniture or otheritems from the work areas thefurniture must be cleaned with aspecial vacuum called a HighEfficiencyParticulateAir(HEPA)Filtervacuum.

3. All plastic or like sheeting, dropcloths and other supplies, equipmentand disposable clothing that are usedin the work areas shall remain in thework area or be stored in a safemanner to minimize exposure tooccupants.

4. Peeling paint or painted frictionsurfaces that bind (doors andwindows subject to friction orabrasion) must be wet scraped usinga scraper and water mister to reducedust and other work-related debris.Cracked or peeling subsurfaces (thesurfaces that havebeen painted)must be repairedbefore they arerepainted.
