New York's Cooperative and Condominium Community
recently our board increased our parking garage fee. This led to strong opposition and quite vocal complaints from people affected by this decision during our annual co op meeting.
A petition from the majority of garage occupants and some other occupants requesting reconsideration of this decision was subsequently presented to each board member. The minutes of the next board meeting state the petition was submitted. That's all.
In a newsletter following this thre was note to the effect that a petition was received but "no action was taken by the board."
Is this legal? Should it have been handled this way? Please let us know. Thank you
