maintenance neglectFeb 23, 2013

I have never withheld a maintenance payment in almost 10 years. Yet-as our property manger and maintenance office have ignored requests/refused to perform necessary maintenance when needed. I have sustained damage to my 'home'. Their instructions were to submit claims to my own ins. co. who they would reimburse through subrogation. Instead they refused to reimburse my ins. co. who ceased attempts to collect after a few years. Our property manger is consistently hostile and blatantly rude-and worse-continues to endlessly delay or refuse requests for necessary maintenance. Our co-op board hasn't put a stop to this. Letters to the board and mangemnet co. have proven to be a waste of time. What recourse do shareholders in good standing have in such a case?
