All sort of work that normally requires a permit. The coop board and Mngmt are ineffective in managing and preventing this. The doorman blocks building inspectors from inspecting. What can be done?

Super & handyman block bldg inspector - Steven424 Dec 05, 2024

Contact the co-op's attorney IMMEDIATELY and let them know what is going on. You have no idea the amount of physical and financial danger blocking a government inspector can cause. This kind of activity puts the physical structure and the shareholders/renters in imminent danger.

If the board and/or handyman are restricting access my gut tells me they are trying to hide something really serious. Be mindful it could be *your* unit directly above a faulty gas main, and your family seriously injured or killed.

The life you save may be your own.
