New York's Cooperative and Condominium Community
They are on the board obviously to serve their own needs since they saw a good money making opportunity. Even before the sponsor left, our board manipulated and strategized getting their group on the board, they slandered anyone who could help and don’t allow anyone, except for the most dense, to run for office.
Join the Conversation Comments (1)Monthly five hour board meetings are certainly a cause for concern. Do you check the minutes??

I have read that the average board meeting is two hours, yet our board meets monthly for five hours. I suspect the time is spent manipulating and strategizing how to reward followers and punish detractors also how to manipulate elections, etc. One example is that the board’s contractor while working on an adjoining unit cracked my patio in half. They have refused to fix it as I am a whistleblower owner. Yet they recently fixed the patio of a renter who, I believe, was responsible for his own damage as he continually left his door open with his air conditioning running and I have seen other air conditioning units damaged by doing this. They never look beyond who they like or dislike, therefore, are not bright enough to establish liability in these situations.
