I recently purchased a co-op and discovered that a board member on top of me is a childish brat. Her air conditioner was leaking on to mine and I could not sleep in the bedroom because of it. I wrote her a note which I posted on her door asking if she could remedy the situation. In the note I mentioned that her AC was pouring onto mine. She apparently took issue with this and I received a nasty note informing me that AC drip in a very condescending tone. The fact is her AC was pouring when it first came on, and it then turned to a loud drip, eventually as the water cleared out the drips became more infrequent and less noisy. I never addressed it with her again because of her hostility towards me (aside from the note there are other things, she is a piece of work). I discussed this with the super and he informed me that she had said she was here first so it was too bad and I would have to place my AC in another window. He also informed me that he agreed with her claim that she was there first, so too bad. I told the super that there are devices that could divert the water. He came back and told me that she said if I wanted it I could pay for it myself. I told the super I was willing to pay for it. In my estimation it was worth it because I was sleeping in my living room. Since my super is a useless and ignorant creep nothing ever happened. This year I remedied the situation by placing a plastic pot on top of the AC and filling it with dirt. I was able to sleep in my bedroom but was peeved that I had to endure this bullshit. When the AC came out my sill was full of dirt and my screen covered with it. The super said he thought it was a great solution, and I told him that I thought it would be better if I had a considerate neighbor.
From what I can gather about her, the response would have been much different if I were in possession of a Y chromosome. She is no longer a member of the board and gave up on trying seducing one of the members who is in possession of a Y. I actually feel sorry for this gentleman because there are 2 former board members who had the hots for him.
The other one informed me as to the salary of another resident who has a Y and is considered one of the 2 building studs. When she first started to reveal to me this info (which she refers to as his vitals) I told her I did not want to know and she shut up. But then in a subsequent conversation she blurted it out. She was on the board when I was approved and I can only imagine what she has to say about me. The lack of professionalism and gang mentality is really more than I can bear. Any suggestions?
