One of our doormen just sits there and does not open the door for household help.
(Sometimes this may be a non-whiter person.)
Is this permissible in a coop?
My question is...Why is this person still working as your doorman?
He/she should be informed of his duties in writing and then written up and suspended. If he/she continues do it, should be terminated!
As a practical matter what you can and cannot do will be influenced by the doorman's membership in a union. The ultimate goal should be to create a long and robust paper trail to counter suits of wrongful termination and other attempts to remain employed. Your managing agent should be closely involved and your board attorney should also be kept in the loop.

I believe this is entirely within the purview of your Board. It is certainly rude and discourteous and should be addressed by your Board immediately. I don't think there are any governmental or legal implications, but the doorman should be spoken to so he understands what is duties are.
