Amen to that! I have completed a complaint form to the NYS attorney general ES. I have been living a nightmare for so long and my dump is for sale. Open house this weekend and next and the one after that! I may drop $5,000 per week until I unload. They pulled a Pullman on me and the MA admitted half the info was untrue. That's what he admits to the facts are it's all BS. Some partial truths but very twisted! So today I receive notice from my sister they sent her a letter claiming I am moving things out and damaging the elevator. My sister who "owns" half lives in another state and is often away on business just forwarded the information to me dated December 10th I believe. Well since I have not yet begun to move this just more harassment from some very creepy individuals. I emailed them and told them any response should be sent email or snail mail NO CALLS. They are horrid people who lie and instigate and because of this I don't want any verbal communication. They are abusive, rude, condescending, and irritating to speak with. I am a straight shooter like it or not and their BS has an effect on my blood pressure. So tonight as I was walking home from the grocery store I ran into these to MAs ( major a......s). The cursory greetings and then I addressed the complaint of my moving and damaging the elevator. They both claimed they had no idea.... but we just communicated via email today, I got a response so how is it possible that they have no idea? It's not they are full of it as usual. Then the owners son one of the MAs said you are harassing us. To this I replied "no you are harassing me and payback is a b...h". The letter which I just received a copy of today is dated December 10th I believe. Definitely December anyhow. They are so creepy! Another shareholder told me you need a lawyer and confided they too were getting the hell out of dodge. My response was " that is no way to live" and he agreed. I don't want am to hire an attorney over a tomato plant (another issue). They want to charge me for damage to their old and decrepit elevator. It is original to the building (1940) tiger oak stained to look like mahogany (gross). It has all the puck marks and scars from the past 80 years and looks really bad. The floor is filthy and there are paint splatteres and spills. It has some nice old brass but it is filthy and disgusting. I cleaned the brass once myself because it is really nice. But I was unable to bring it to the shine it deserves because the filth was just too thick. It looks a little better I have other things to do. I am completely outraged at their ability to pull this crap and get away with it! I will never again put myself in this position! I am disgusted that co-op owners have zero protection from these sorts of monsters. Co-ops came about in NY as affordable housing. But now all you hear is business rule! Screw business rule this is supposed to be a home! It is not a business to me and I don't appreciate the MAs or the creepy super speaking to me like I am one of their subjects. I write to Eric S regarding this and I am not happy with him at all. I supported him in the past but made it very clear he will get nothing from me in the future if he does not address this serious issue. I have suffered so many indignities here that I believe it has taken a toll on my health and shortened my life. I just want to get out of here alive so I can have some peace before I die. Also our former super was a violent felony offender, narcotics distribution and altered weapon. He was horrific, when I complained the board insisted he was the nicest guy and opted to take his word over mine. I was so frightened of him that I had to take in a male roommate (champion wrestler) in order to feel safe. I was afraid to go in the hallway when he was present and he got all his derilict friends side jobs here. This has been a life changing experience that I need to recover from. Yes I have seen the underbelly of the beast. Sickening and disturbing because it is occurring in many co-ops and unless you want to litigate for $50g you are screwed. I pissed and plan on doing something about it. Very relieved to see this notice instead of the same old song and dance routine on this board. Especially after the horrendous encounter I had with the 2
MAs. Thank you I am with you 100% people should not have to live this way. I need a good attorney who has handled these type of monsters. Please feel free to contact me if you can help.
