The house rules only state not work on apts by contractors on weekends. The Board just made this up.
Join the Conversation Comments (1)It is not a guess. This is not a house rule. The head of the board is making an arbitrary decision. In fact, she has a history of this. All I want to know is if anyone has heard of this.
I'm not saying that I don't believe you. I AM saying that, as a Board member, I will tell you that 99% of everything Board-related is legal.
So you'd better be able to prove that what you're saying is true, such as "she has a history of this." Can you prove this to an attorney? You'll need documentation, which is the best way to prove anything.
If your Board has an email address, then I suggest that you email the Board with your original question. It's a valid question. Then they MUST reply. There's your documentation. Without it your point will be hard to prove.
Good luck to you.
They are silent when you email them

I understand what you're saying about House Rules, but your answer implies that you did not flat out directly ask the Board why. That's the only way to be sure of the Board's reasons - not to mention it would also provide documentation if some chicanery was taking place.
As a Board member, I would certainly expect someone to stop and ask me why this type of decision was made if it happened in my co-op - and I better have a good answer for that shareholder.
Do yourself a favor. Stop guessing and ask a Board member.
