coop and HPD violationsOct 28, 2012

Copr refused to address several leak in an apartment. The shareholder calls the city. The city comes and issues violaitons and mistakenly uses the word 'bedroom' in addition to 'bathroom' where the leak actually was. The landlord requests access for a plumber + plaster guy to remove violations. The Mang Agent fails to mention that the shareholder might be responsible for any portion of the voilations and bedroom is in actualy in non-violaions condition (ie does not need repairs.) Repairs are made including unnecessary painting of bedroom Coop may attempt to bill shshdoer - even though they did not notify shareholder or divide up who is reonsible for what. Shareholder totlaly uninformed but did granted access as requested and thought they were otherwise cooperating. Mang Agent arrangesd all contracting work and retained plumber and painter. Who pays?

in short: the shareholder allowed access to the landlord to repair what the SH thought to be violations related to leaks that are the coops responsible to repair and restore.
If there was work over and above and the lessee did not notify the shareholder he might be responsible and the SH did not in any way hire or retain the contractors - then who pays?
