I too live in a Capoccia bldg that was left in disrepair. Where is this meeting tonight, pls advise.

If you look at the link you will see there are a bunch of future dates. Apparently, the public was not allowed into the public meeting last night. I suggest you write the Attorney Generals Office immediately & post on the Moreland Commission suggestion site.http://www.moreland.ny.gov/

Interesting enough today's NY Times has this article - http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/18/nyregion/city-plans-redevelopment-for-vacant-area-in-lower-manhattan.html?ref=nyregion

Capoccia seems to be untouchable since he is one of the largest donors to our Governor and elected officials. LJ what has your building done to advocate? My building has contacted EVERY single elected official. I suggest you do the same...unfortunately, our current public advocate didn't advocate and his office is a big black hole but I suggest you try again and reach out to the Borough Presidents office in your borough. And, ANY PRESS PEOPLE READING THIS....THIS IS A GOOD STORY OF CORRUPTION, BAD HOUSING, NO OVERSIGHT BY HPD AND HOW Donald Capoccia has numerous complaints against him at the Attorney Generals office but since he has donated so much money to our governor he's untouchable.

Have reached out to everyone, including AG, local officials, council members, HPD (another corrupt agency), State Assembly people. Mediation with Capoccia and Nothing!! We all have to get together and have the press do an article. But how do we all reach each other so that we can get this in the press. I know the DNA would do an article, but we should go further, even utilizing TV.

Can you post information on Coalition of HPD HOmeowners facebook page?
Where is your residents? And, do you have an email that is sorta of anon that you can post up here LJ?

We also reached out to all elected officials...Attorney Generals Office has so many of these complaints and then there is the ACCO - http://condocoopowners.org/

Unfortunately ACCO was put together to help a small group of owners to submit their claims to the AG's office under the guise of appearing to be represented by a large group.

The fact that the AG offices refuses to do anything to enforce the BCL state laws, even though the AG office approved all these conversions by the same Real Estate $$$$ contributors who are stopping the forming of a coop ombudsmen, who would be able to take care of the violations that the AG refuses to field, similar to housing court

why was acco representing only a smaill group of shareholders when there are so many of being hurt by the ag's allegiance to the $ of the real estate industry?
does anyone know why the real estate industry is against a co-op shareholder ombudsmen? is it only because the real estate industry want their managing agents assigned to "help" individual buidings to continue to maintain control in order to, among other things, continue to bilk shareholders?

Why not try to get a reporter interested, perhaps one from the NY Post who isn’t a supporter of Cuomo. This way the reporter could post his information and interested parties could tell reporter their story. This might be a good time to try as it is before elections.

Brick Underground is another suggestion

For those who live in leaky constructed and poorly constructed buildings built by HPD and built by sponsors who seemed to have given tons of $$ to our governor....please attend this upcoming meeting

LJ & Sam how do I reach you? The building I live in has scaffolding around it and no response to any elected official in the area. Plus with term limited the local council member is a goner and our new council member is useless on so many levels. Has anyone reached out to the Housing Chair, Keith Wright?

LJ, any luck with your DNA article? We will have a new mayor who has failed to address the tale of building construction in NY when it comes to affordable housing when he was public advocate or council member.

We are in for a bumpy ride with this new administration, the "do nothings". I tried getting in touch with people from this blog who had and have issues with Cappocia, but received no response. It is very difficult since no one wants or has an email to give out since it's on a blog or a number to call. There has to be a coalition of people, not just one person, we must, somehow try to form a group so that someone, anyone will take us seriously. How do we do this? I'm reading all of these complaints, but we aren't in touch with each other.

It's most insulting in the past I have made a failed attempt to contact the public advocates office about my HPD new building. Now, the useless staff from the Deblasio public advocates office have fancy titles in the Mayor's office. Any suggestions? HPD now will get another commissioner...this happens approx. every 2 years.

I think we need to contact Emma Wolf in the Mayors office. I tried to reach out to her when she was Chief of Staff at the Public Advocates office regarding ongoing HPD problems and this is where the "do nothings" need to be exposed and she was one of them. But, now that she has a fancy new title at city hall I'm sure she wouldn't like bad press and could be exposed to her do nothing ways in the public advocates office.

I have been reading this thread. My coop also was built by HPD and BFC Construction where there seems to be NO oversight. Any insight on how a reporter can do a story on this developer. If our coops leak what will happen to the future Ferris Wheel in Staten Island that this developer seems to be the contractor on.
