The building could be called the Phoenix, it's recreated itself so many times. "And we've been able to grow with them," property manager Paul Brensilber says of the board and the building, a 206-unit co-op at 333 East 14th Street that his company has managed since 1989. Jean Verrico has been on and off the board, Stuyvesant Owners, Inc., from the beginning; currently the vice president, she remembers how the co-op went through two management firms — one large, white-glove operation that proved inept, and a smaller shop that reportedly mismanaged money — before hooking up with Brensilber, the principal at Jordan Cooper & Associates.
