our Super has started making private arangments with the sponsor to renovate/ hire subcontractors to work on the sponsor apts when they open up for rental. These jobs do not seem to have permits and the contractor may be unlicensed to do electrical, plumbing etc. What can we do and why is allowing this to happen not in the best interests of a cooperative?
Where is your management company? They should be taking care of this for you.

If your Super is doing any of this on co-op time, when he or she is acting as your paid agent, this could be a liability problem.
If it's being done on his/her own time, there could still be problems...
BTW, do your House Rules or Proprietary Lease address the issue of permits and licenses?
Contact your co-op counsel about this issue ASAP.
