Unfortunately people go on boards because there is money to be made. Our building is almost destroyed because of kickbacks to management company and board. Until attorney general’s office takes an interest in this, condo and co-op owners will continue to be robbed.
Since it is being said that attorney general's office is not interested in condo corruption - where there is evidence of kickbacks - might the IRS tax fraud dept. be interested?
The problem with kick backs is the contractor raises his price on his contract and kicks back in cash. You cannot prove this, unfortunately.
My question was "when there is evidence of kickbacks" would the IRS be interested.
The IRS doesn't have the resources to go after what they call petty crime. They only go after the big bucks. I have already reported the super for doing illegal renovations in our building and getting cash for it. He bought three homes on a super salary. Nothing was done. Government agencies are a joke. They too have their hands in our pockets, when it comes to protecting coops they look the other way, they say they don't get involved in private Corporation business. As I see it Business is Business and crime is crime.

Yes it is a shame and unfortunate that many people run for office to see what they can get and also management knowingly turn a blind eye as they do not want to loose the contract. Far too often you complain instead of putting your name forward for election. Same story, others complain all the time when they have the choice of running for election to make a change/difference but decide not too.
