alternation plan

No need to volunteer anything re: planned updates at your board interview. The updates you describe sounds minimal and likely wouldn't need any sort of formal approval anyway unless the lighting requires extensive rewiring/channeling. Shelving in the closet and radiator cover are cosmetic.

^^^ I should clarify that to say closet shelving is "generally considered" cosmetic (some, very rare, co-ops require approval even for cosmetic updates) but it is quite unusual. Either way, still no need to discuss at board meeting unless they ask directly, in which case you can just say you expect to do a few very minor tweaks but are thrilled that the unit is move-in ready and won't require any significant work.

got it. thank you very much!
