Our super went on vacation and management did not tell shareholders. Of course there was a crisis. What is the legal requirement for a building to have a substitute super, or at least someone on call?

First the shareholders must demand that the management co send out notification when the Super is out on vacation and they should also list in the email/flyer who to contact should a crisis come up. Also have shareholders call or email the management co and the Board and/or bring it up at the Annual meeting. The more that are vocal then they’ll do something.
Do you have a porter? They could also get someone to fill in too. I’m sure the management co has a list of part time help either union or non-union members.
In my co-op we have a super and a porter so there is backup. The co-op behind me has a Super full time but help just on the weekends so I’m sure the weekend help do more hours when the Super is on vacation and especially for a week.
Basically it’s not managed properly. Co-op’s have a management co and board members…they should think of these things.
