Inspection of apartments are in our house rules not the O.A.
While I agree with an annual inspection which has never happened in the 35 years that I have lived here, I question the reason some of the people were selected. The ones I know have beautiful well kept apartments and are not trouble makers.
Rather than fabricating the reason for the inspection, doesn't the shareholder have a right to know why they are requesting the inspection? It is still a house rule that would have to be adhered to and yes the shareholder can refuse to let them in but they can still refuse to let them in under the guise of L.L. 87, or am I just living in a co-op being managed by a company and B.O.D. that prefer to handle matters with deceit and deception?
I agree with you again Marty. I asked the question because our management company led us to believe that the inspection of the selected apartments would be done by him and an auditor for the purpose of local law 87, and if not adhered to, there would be significant penalties by the D.O.B. I just wanted conformation that was not the case.
Clearly we don't know nor probably will we ever, what this was about, however, I understand shareholders are starting to realize this as well and have cancelled their appointment for their apartments to be inspected.
No one is objecting to a community wide inspection, it was the reason that we were given that didn't make sense. Thanks again

I can't tell you why your inspections took place. You would have to ask the Board and/or your management company that question.
Our inspections are done on an annual basis for all shareholders, meaning that everyone is treated equally. Not because we suspect anyone of anything, but just to make sure that all shareholders are abiding by the co-op's rules.
You should be asking the Board these questions. They should have no problem answering them if things are being done honestly.
