How does a Board go about clearing up elevator violations that we never knew we got fines for (former two managing agents threw in a drawer), and some are 10-20 years old. We are in complete compliance now but have accrued 3K of old fines. We heard it's possible to negotiate a settlement for a reduced amount. Any suggestions?
Hi,
We found we had $3K of boiler violations outstanding from 1995-2004 when we went to refi the building. This was during the tenure of a builiding manager we let go in 2005. Our current management company tells us there is nothing to do but pay the fines. I have heard otherwise. Any advice besides hiring an expeditor? We are a tiny builidng and no budget for that.
Thanks,
I use Jack Jaffa.. they are pretty good.. they also monitor all my building on an ongoing basis.
