In the past, certain maintenance work was not done in our building because some board members said that they, personally, could not afford to pay for it. So some work, such as re-painting common areas where paint had flaked off, was never done. Is this an example of the board members not fulfilling their fiduciary duties? If so, how should this be addressed? It seems that New York State requires that board members act as fiduciaries, but it would help to have clear examples (via written articles) of what is entailed in service of that duty. Thanks.
