I have been trying to get some documents from the Board and managing agent about their attempt to evict me. We went to court and they said they were going to provide me with documents. I have mailed the board and the managing agent certified letters requesting the documents and they have not provided me with the documents. Can I take legal action against the board members?
You cannot sue individual board members, but you can sue the Corporation, I did for simular reasons. I won a large amount. What I would do is go to the court you are taking board to, and take out a supeona for the documents you are seeking using the same index number that you filed for.You must supeona the documents or you will never get them. If they don't provide the documents they either will be in contempt of court or will lose the case forthwith.
Dear DD,
Please give more details, such as where to see the case you had and the lawyer who was able to help you. According to a state senator's office..."You will not be successful suing a co-op unless you have a lot of money because of the BCL under which they, the board, usually get away with a lot of illegal dealings."
