Habitat writer needs help on storyOct 30, 2013

I'm writing a story about co-op boards that have found ways of working with a really, really objectionable shareholder to avoid evicting him/her under a Pullman action.

I'd like to speak with a couple of such board-members to get your firsthand, real-world experience in this.

Anyone interest in helping other board members learn from their experience or mistakes, please contact me at flovece@habitatmag.com and we can set up a time to talk by phone. Thanks.

Super lording over us, the downtrodden serfs... - Jerry Grosof Nov 12, 2013

Dear Daniel Hardison: We have the same case here, only worse. In addition to supporting his family in the princely way to which they grew accustomed, he extorts money from us for every little repair job (to cure disrepairs that he himself causes). His two sons (grown up men in their 30's, one of them living with his parents in a free apartment) also participate in the grafting, in addition to regularly breaking into my apartment to steal things. His wife comes up to our door at midnight to insult my wife ("fuck you") for having denounced her son. We are subjected to all kinds of humiliations, extortions, harassments, etc, and the president consents to this. The super is a Hungarian who came to this country 20 years ago, and already owns 4 apartments in our building and 2 houses in PA. Success story from Communist countries inmigrants who came to America to live the American dream: to ruthlessly enslave and exploit the American naive idiots...We need a class action lawsuit. Please write to me, I am sponsoring one. g5grosof@msn.com. Concerned Citizens for Coop Reform- 1 347 321 8009

Why not write a story about boards who threaten and harrass "objectional" owners who complain about corruption?

YOU SHOULD CONTACT THE ABUSED SHAREHOLDERS - ROSA NAZAR Nov 15, 2013

I think you should contact us the abused shareholders. We can tell what the board should not do. A coop is a home to a family and it needs to be protected. But it is actually a club where we buy membership to be abused and destroy financially. Go to COOPABUSE.COM to read horror stories or email me and I will send you info about how I have been dragged in court since 2009. I had to stop by eviction 3 times. The board, in a luxury apartment in the Bronx (Riverdale) published my eviction as a better important notice in their website. But they did not published when the judge told them that I was here since they 1987 and it is impossible that I just became a trouble maker. They just want my apt because the sprinkle check valve in inside (which was hidden behind the wall when I bought it). The fire dept needs access to the valve to conduct a high pressure test. They want to take my apt without paying for it. They keep adding legal fees and other fees. I do not owe a penny to the, For some reason the target shareholders with no mortgage. Believe me we will be in court forever. In your report them them THEY SHOULD NOT STEAL NEITHER HARRASS. Email me at ROSA.NAZAR@GMAIL.COM if you more info for your report. Anybody else feel free to email me too and resgister with COOPABUSE.COM to stop the abuse.
