Corrupt Coop BoardAug 14, 2015

Good Afternoon,

I am an owner of an HDFC coop in a desirable & gentrified section of Brooklyn. My coop board is by far the most crooked and dishonest I have ever heard about. There is so much negative practices going on I don't know where to begin. I unfortunately, due to a number of factors have been too complacent for the past couple of years since I purchased. First, the coop board (there is no clear indication of who the board consists of) violates Fair Housing practices completely. They do not rent nor sell to anyone that is Caucasian period. This practice has to be stopped. When I was purchasing I was told one of the reasons they wanted to interview me in person was to make sure I was not White. Second, shareholders meetings have never been held, I have never received the annual financial statements, and most important committed fraud on my shareholders certificate in listing the correct number of shares transferred from the previous. Besides a costly attorney, what can I do right now to get the ball rolling on having this board investigated. I welcome any and all suggestions, input, etc. Thank you
