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.

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. Grosofl - carminis@outlook.com. Thank you.
