Badly managed coop - DM Aug 04, 2022

Sounds like my coop!

Call 311 / HPD for any neglected repairs. That helps.
Keep everything in writing.

badly managed coop - DP Aug 05, 2022

This is a similar story in too many coops, but calling 311/HPD is bad for the coop owners/shareholders/you. It can bring increased violations which are then on your dime. I know this is easier said than done, but work to replace the board. Start talking to other shareholders, see if they are equally dissatisfied, and then run for the board. But you need to be organized and get your ducks in a row before you do that. Good luck.

Bullying - Pooh Aug 05, 2022

Bring it all up at the next Annual meeting.

Also the Super is in a Union (I’m assuming) and if he’s screaming at an owner write him up/document it and maybe ask to have a meeting with Super/Board/and his Union/Management company.
