STAR FRAUD and THEFTJan 20, 2014

First in this coop i wrote of, the STAR money gets paid to the people every month, so the coop does not get a penny of it, that is why i was questioning seeing it as income on the budget sheets. The building takes the lump sum and doles it out monthly, however other coops with the same managing company that have owners , not full of subleasers.do noy let that happen, and they take the lump sum
If the coop is withjolding the STAR and keeping it, i believe the real estate company would lose its license, and the BOD would be charged for theft

Class Action - Judy Jan 20, 2014

The suggestion to find a lawyer to handle a class action against the AG’s office should be looked into – I am sure there are hungry lawyers out there and anyone who filed a complaint with AGs office could be counted.

YES A CLASS ACTION IS OVERDUE - rosa nazar Jan 21, 2014

Yes we need a class action law suit. We are the only Americans who do not have protection for our family home. This is because the real state lobbies make sure they protect the coop interest not our (sponsor still own more than 50% in most coops). In my coop the management company was a company of the sponsor (remember the landlord who converted his building to coop to avoid NYC rent regulations of the 70's). One day, we manage to removed the president for life, and when the new president questioned why some checks were being paid from our coop accounts, the management company cancel our contract immediately (but only for the shareholders, they are still here managing the renting business of the sponsor who still own more than 50% of our coop). We are Americans without home rights. A home is a human right. Yes we need to keep fighting to get our freedom but we can only do it together. NO WE ARE NOT THE SAME PEOPLE. That is what politicians try to tell us "you are an isolated incident". Why don't you take a look of our website COOPABUSE.COM so you can see by yourself. As a matter of fact every time I post something I get a few emails from abused shareholders who join our cause. As a matter of fact we are looking for a lawyer to take our class action case against the estate and maybe attorney general because we are the only American who has no right to protect our home in bankruptcy court, housing court and they failed to act no matter how much we complained. Maybe they will listen to us in court. Any lawyer or anybody who wants to know more about us email me at ROSA.NAZAR@GMAIL.COM

CLASS ACTION - Judy Jan 23, 2014

There are 30 claims needed for class action - not very many when you count all the corrupt buildings and the amount of units in each one.
