New York's Cooperative and Condominium Community
I'm a newbie to the board and just found out that the shareholders of our 50 unit building are paying for our part time super to have his various licenses (boiler, etc.). Is this common practice?
Join the Conversation Comments (2)Vivi, Bob is correct. However, we get concern because abuse is a very common thing in coops. That is why we are united to have a voice. We are meeting with politicians to pass legislation. Coop home owner have no protection in housing court neither in bankruptcy court for the abusive fines and legal fees from board and management.

It is common practice for his employer (the building) to pay for all licenses pertaining to maintaining your building systems (sprinkler/standpipe, boiler, central ac, etc). If you do not have a licensed person (certificate holder) on site you risk getting fined. In addition many building pay for additional licenses/courses as it makes the super a more valuable asset to the property.
