New York's Cooperative and Condominium Community
I live in a coop that has a Superintendent who tends towards the corrupt. Historically, the hand many is allowed to perform repair jobs he is capable of on his own or when the Super is on vacation. However, now, due to the bias of this super towards certain residents, he is restricting the handyman. This is causing inequitably of treatment and discrimination among residents. The board enables this. what can be done?

Run a slate of your own candidates for the board at the next election meeting. The mere threat of being replaced may get the current board off their collective duffs. Or it might put you and your running mates in control.
Just be careful of what you wish for because you may get it.
