Weekly News Roundup: Condo Loses $1 Million Hush-Up Case; Perv Super; More
New York City: Feb. 8, 2010 — Recent news of note for co-op and condo boards. Updating last week's story, an Upper West Side building is so far refusing to fire its sex-offender super, despite residents telling newspapers he's propositioning them! (The residents, not the newspapers.) The Parkchester South Condominium has to pay a million-dollar settlement because its board hushed up a crime spree. Green cars are in, barking dogs are out, and a co-op/condo association president takes city and state government to task. Plus much, much more. Read all the latest co-op and condo news on Habitat's Monday News Roundup, which now also includes permanent archival links at WebCitation.org!
