manag company refusal to prvide shareholdr list -BOD contactJun 13, 2011


the management company for the co-op refuses to provide th BCL specified shareholder list and the contact info for the BOD , many of the BOD do not live in the bldg,some never did, and per the proprietary lease should not have been allowed to buy.
To top it off the managing agent states he refuses any further corresponds from me.
Two years ago i successfully got the shareholder list from him , despite his BS, arguing the BCL provisions, 3 months later a neighboring shareholder was told they were not allowed to have the list.
at least 2 apartment s have sold and since the president has turned the building into a rental, about 50% owner occupied from 80% at conversion, i want to know who owns those two apartments. I guess i will have to knock on the few BOD that live here doors whenever i have a question or issue with the board. i prefer to not bother people personal space, and a fax or phone call /email is less intrusive.

Shareholder list -- Email trail - vp Jun 14, 2011


Every Shareholder is LEGALLY entitled to know who is listed as owners on the Shares.
Besides hiring a lawyer -- we won back control of our building by starting, and keeping up an Email Trail. Every week send a request to the Board, MangAgent and other Shareholders requesting the list. Also, stating (in a business like way) any of the ByLaws which are being abused. Send the same email every week.

Once they see the Email Trail being compiled -- they tend to become nervous. In a court, the Email (paper trail) trail holds great importance.

Get an Gmail.com account -- all the Emails are automatically stored, so you will have a record.
Good luck VP
