For the past year or more, we have had two supers living in this building at the same time – one was fired for alleged theft although it was never reported to police and it took over six months to evict him while in the meantime they hired another super (put him in a rental apartment in the building) who, after he was hired, told management that he wouldn’t refuse to do work for those on the “hate” list. He was eventually fired and evicted although not before he was forced to work long days in the hot summer sun doing busy work, being constantly screamed at, bullied and threatened with being fired by board president, knowing that this good man needed his job. Both of these supers were excellent carpenters and nice pleasant all around people. Previously we had a super that came in at 4:00 pm after his day job with his girlfriend – spent part of the evening gossiping in the lobby, and the rest in his apartment slamming his shower door, banging on our adjourning wall and otherwise threatening and harassing me, i.e. when my lights when out for the night, he would be lurking outside – then coming inside and slamming his shower door to let me know he is watching. I have pictures of his footprints in the snow from his unit to my window.
We now have another new super who spent a couple of days putting up flagpoles that just blew down in the wind; he seems to have light carpenter skills so I am very concerned about what skills he was hired for since the board has been after me for years, so I am putting this out there.
both of these situations sound out of control. how about reaching out to your management company, REBNY or the building's counsel for advice?
Coop corruption is a plague and there are no laws that protect us neither in housing, neither in bankrutcy courts. It is a shame that we are treated as second class citizens. We can loose our coop home just for a few dollars especially if we have no mortgage. That is why we are organized and fighting to pass laws. Check out COOPABUSE.COM for coop horrible stories and register to fight together. You can email me at ROSA.NAZAR@GMAIL.COM
Managing agent, Board president, Sponsor....they are all in cahoots together. The lawyer of the coop is a scoundrel who told th Annual Meeting that the "perennial" directors will continue being "elected" again and again, in perpetuity, because there is nothing in the Proprietary Lease that forbids it or impose terms limits (they have been in power for 25 years). He also wrote me a letter threatening me with termination and eviction, for telling "lies" to the tenants: that's how characterizes my efforts to educate and organize the tenant shareholders. He went to our political representatives, Mr. Dinowitz and Mr. Koppell (Riverdale-Kingsbridge area of the Bronx with reports about these calamities...and nothing. They added insult to injury with their hypocritical advise: "go get elected to board and change everything from the inside." This felt like a slap in the face, and my sould still burns with indignation. But this is a conspiracy, a vast conspiracy, and only the US Attorney or the State Attorney have the power to deal with it. For my part, I am looking for an aggressive attorney to sue the hell of all of these scoundrels. Please, if anybody, a good and knowledgeable lawyer is out there, please contact me. Jerry M.

REBNY IS SO CORRUPT. fOLLOW THE $$ TRAIL WHO THEY ENDORSE AND WHO SITS ON THEIR BOARD.

The worst of the worst
The stomping continues so…
It is management’s strategy to neutralize a whistleblower by making them complain about noise, then say it’s a he said, she said situation and telling everyone they are crazy. Also they manipulated themselves into having control over renters. Two or more times, manaagement tried to get an amendment passed to give them control over renters. The amendment was unanimously denied each time. Management waited a couple of months and then sent out a memo entitled “Policy Changes” giving themselves all the power in the amendment that was denied them. So they can position renters where they want them.
But there is more to this story than appears – management may have lost the assistance of their “little” “enablers” – to be continued if stomping continues…….
The stomping has become somewhat quieter– not continuously like before but this morning I went out early to check on the snow – heard banging and thinking it was the twit upstairs, I ignored it. Hours later I went back out to again check on the snow and heard the same banging – I realized it wasn’t coming from above but from another unit. I knocked on the door and found that owner had fallen and spend the night on the floor and was banging trying to get help. Fortunately, I was able to get help to her but it would have been hours sooner if not for the harassment against me. SO STEVE IF YOU ARE READING THIS – THE OWNER IS NOT DOING WELL AND IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO HER – YOU CAN ADD MURDER TO YOUR LONG LONG LIST OF CRIMES.

We are in a much worse situation. He is Hungarian, came to this country 25 years ago (after the fall of the Berlin Wall) with his family, and immediately started enriching himself at out expense. He and his family (him, the wife and the daughter) drive 3 luxury vehicles (Mercedes and BMW's), they already own 4 apartments in our Coop and 2 houses in Pensyilvania, he charges us for everything (little repairs of disrepairs that he himself had caused to collect jobs opportunities), regularly break-in (he is a master locksmith and taugh his two sons the basics) entering in my apartment to steal clothes, tools, household items, whatever his wife fancies. They have a big chandelier with hanging crystals - the type that would normally hang in a luxury dinning-room - in his bedroom! That's how refined Madame the Duchess (his Hungarian wife) is. His daughter forbids us to critized her "dad" or post complaints. We have to pay another guy, a janitor, to do the cleaning and taking the garbage out. As for weeding out the back alley, nobody does that, not even the janitor, we'll have to hire a yard cleaning service to do that. The weeds and bushes have grown to 3 and 4 foot tall....No way to get rid of him, he's been appointed by the sponsor himself, and has unlimited carte blanch to exploit us... His two sons do painting jobs in the lobby ( totally unnecessary) to the tune of $34,000, and other painting jobs around this and other buildings owned by the sponsor. The entire family lives off us.
