Summary

At the public-comment portion of the April 21 meeting, Alex Maldonado, property manager for 75 Prospect Street, disputed a 2025 water bill he described as $65,000 and said the building (about 80% vacant) experienced toilet leaks. He asked for assistance with the bill; the Board advised that it does not remove water charges but could assist by setting up a payment arrangement.
The meeting record also includes a separate communication (staff/agenda item) noting a bill dispute for 75 Prospect Street in the amount of $62,764. The transcript does not reconcile that difference in figures in the public record; the Board's public response was procedural (payment arrangement options) rather than a waiver of charges.
