Our condo has negative operating funds and almost no reserves and our mothly charges will be going up. aren't we in a terrible financial situation to be so on the edge? The Board seems tobe in dneial or glossing over this
Can anyone recommended a good Tax Certiorari Attorney who has been successful with the city in reducing assessments. We have a 24 unit co-op in Chelsea
We are raising our maintenance in 09 by 5%. I'd like to know what others are doing.
NYSERDA's been giving out large sums in cash incentives and subsidized loans (even in THIS day and age!) for co-ops and condo or rental apartment buildings in the Con Ed territory. You should look into it more or email me for more information.
Have any of you board member been threatened or physically attacked by a resident, a vendor or anyone else in the course of board business?
This is for a Habitat article on how to help prevent such occurrences, and how best to handle them if they do occur.
Anyone with personal experience with this or a story lead, please contact me at franklovece@copper.net ASAP.
Thanks
I was at the CNYC thing this past weekend, and went to the new technology panel. Someone from Habitat was there and mentioned the New Products they have on the front page of the website. I was looking through it and there's a lot of interesting looking stuff. I was wondering if any other boardmembers have used anhy of the new products there. Is it a useful resource to look at now and then?
can anyone out there please help me???
i have been in my co-op for 2 years now and have experienced nothing but heartache.
i have been complaining about mold for 2 years now around my air conditioner and have not gotten anyone to come look at until last week. when someone did come take a look at courtesy of the board,not only did they not fix the mold but they said it was because of my airconditioner sleeve. they took out my air conditioner changed the sleeve and left my air conditioner sitting on the floor. they refused to put it back in. they said the board told them not to put it back in. THEY NEVER TOLD ME THIS UPON THEM COMING IN AT ALL. HE TOLD ME HE WOULD PUT IT BACK IMMEDIATELY. they have also complained that i am using a 220 volt amp to run my air conditioner which was allready established before i moved in and one that they have seen during 3 inspections they have done. They are abusing thier power in order for their electrician and air conditioner people to get paid.
CAN SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!
Hi everyone,
Several shareholders in my building have received foreclosure notices from the bank saying the coop owes new york state. I believe this is overdue water bills which we pay off each month.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Any ideas how to solve this beyond paying off the back bills? Is there some sort of work out the building can do with the water company?
We are not in a financial position to pay off the water bill in full but we do not want the bank to foreclose on individual apartments. We have our annual board meeting tomorrow and i want to provide some direction to shareholders who have received notices. Any advice is appreciated.
Our small co-op has a terrible rear yard neighbor. It's a privately-owned 5-story tenement with a ground floor commercial tenant which is a Chinese restaurant. We've tried to call NYC agencies about the multiple noise, sanitation complaints, but have had not luck with the sanitation problems. The restaurant has a 3-4 foot "alley" as a rear yard and they have turned it into an outdooor storage area. There are boxes of empty beer bottles, and garbage stored there permenantly. They have gerry-rigged a cardboard and plywoord "shanty" roof over the area and keep it weighted down with buckets. Isn't it illegal for them to block egress in case of a fire? There is also a very bad cooking odor migration happening that causes our rear shareholders real concern. The managing agent of the rental building does not care what his tenant's do--we guess they pay a decent rent to him. Anyone know who we can call to issue possible violations? Their air handlers and ventilation on lower rear roof is old and noisey and unsightly as well. They leave old pails and brooms on their lower roof which again, is horrible to look at. They are the ONLY bad neighbor out of 5 surrounding buildings.
We live in condo in Brooklyn. Our neighbors upstairs make a lot of noise. They have very active small child which running around and playing heavy ball. Whey have big dog which running through the apartment with big noise. Whey have terrible working washing machine which make not only noise also vibration. They band the main door and our drawer fall down.
We try to resolve this problem. But we receive biggest noise. They start to jumping and play loud music. Our fixture vibrating and ready to fall down.
We are senior citizen. We can not sleep at night. I have heart implant. Every week I have to call to ambulance.
How we can solve our problem?
