New York's Cooperative and Condominium Community
Thank you for all the input. It has been very informative. As I am a relatively new board member, there are procedures that I'm unaware of. At my co-op there is a Capital improvement Committee (CIC) that has made arrangements for sub metering without the entire board voting. I have made several requests for a vote by the board to no avail. Should the CIC proceed without bringing this matter for a vote before the entire board, what recourse do I have? Also, I believe the CIC is being advised by our attorney that this is legal. My belief is based on the fact that when I bring up a motion for a vote on sub metering, she is the most vocal opponent. Should we become sub metered as a result of this erroneous legal advice, can you advise me as to which agency I file a complaint against the attorney?
