Carpet voucher
(Continued from page 1)
“Should they choose to upgrade, the value of the voucher that Riverbay gives them will be used towards the upgrade and they just merely pay the difference.” New shareholders who choose not to carpet can use their vouchers towards other style floors, such as Pergo floors, vinyl flooring, vinyl wood look style flooring, ceramic tiles and the Riverbay 9x9 developed specifically for Riverbay by Mohawk, as well as a whole host of other choices, Boiko said. On the other hand, current shareholders who would like to put down carpeting/flooring, redecorate or change their existing carpeting or flooring, can also make their purchases through the new Portico program, which also includes the Mohawk wood floors that Riverbay uses in the apartments. “All current cooperators who choose to redecorate or upgrade their carpeting or flooring can go to Tri-State Interiors and tell them that they live in Co-op City and would like to look at the carpeting or flooring available through the Portico program,” Boiko said. “From there, they can choose whatever they like from low end – which is excellent carpet – to a very high end carpet and purchase from the company directly who will also install the carpeting for them.” Mohawk’s Portico Program is designed for homeowners, but because of the size of Co-op City, the company agreed many years ago to extend the program to the Riverbay Corporation.
Deepest Sympathy It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Mrs. Bess Rosenberg of Building 35 on Monday, November 28, 2016. Mrs. Rosenberg was a long-time shareholder of Co-op City and had many friends here who remember her as a kind, caring and selfless individual who always looked out for others and would oftentimes put others ahead of herself. She was a loving mother and grandmother, and a conscientious member of the community. She will be sorely missed. May her family know no more sorrow. Please join us in keeping the family of Mrs. Bess Rosenberg in your prayers as they mourn the loss of their loved one.
