i live in a co-op in yonkers. they recently put my carbon monoxide tester in my apt i have told them i was never given fire alarms. they never did anything to give them to me. i never knew we were supposed to have them in the apt. no one ever told me. there is one in the hallway. there four units in my dwelling. i do not believe there are sprinklers. there definitely not in my unit.

also. i have had an ongoing and consistant problem with my front door to my apartment. i have gotten lock out on several occasions over the last six years. the empergency number asked if i wanted a new knob or door. i said door of course. well the manager at my co-op is on a power trip and she told me no i am not getting you a new door. you will get a new knob. since then that knob has given me time and time again problems where i have to have them over to fix. now the problem is worse i can't get out of my apt. sometimes i am total stuck in there and its basically turning the knob back and forth and wiggling to get out. i am scared if there is a fire there is absolutely no way i am getting out.
i had the maintainance guy there today and he said the door is cracked and we have to replace door. i said well its no wonder i can't get out and this is been on going problem. said he would tell the manager and get back to me. but didnt'. i called no return call. my friend called no return call to them. i want to know isn't it required to have fire doors? also they sent out a notice and i still have copy of 2o05 and 2006 all tenants to have fire doors through a phase. i told the maintainance i should get the fire door right/ and he totally hesistated and said i will go tell theresa? this is ridiculous? i could die in a fire b/c of some scam they are pulling on the town/ this co op is known for getting bought off, fixed elections so we can't switch management companies and totally abuse of power to terrorize other female tenants. i know one being harrassed in my complex is a female police officer. its ridiculous and no one does anything. i always say something and i am penalized or ignored b/c they hate that i don't sit idolly by to be screwed.
if anyone can help i live in bryn mawr co ops in yonkers new york off central ave.
people deserve to get honesty and not get robbed in todays day and age especially with our economy the way it is.

thank you

The email that stated the following is definitely correct - 1) The coop is definitely responsible for your door - 2) write letters to management, cc board & lawyer describing everything - dates that problem began, what steps you have taken - contacting management, board, etc - take pictures - 3) definitely call 311 - an inspector will come down and look at the problem, discuss it with you and issue a violation with a date that it must be rectified, if they violate that definitely take them to small claims court - make sure that you have gotten quotes from door companies, etc not housing court which I did upon the suggestion of a lawyer and then my board and management company violated the court order
