New York's Cooperative and Condominium Community
As for the garage increase, it was noted that people who own their own houses are renting out their driveways for more that we pay in our co-op garage. Cooperators stated this was like comparing apples and oranges. Also, the financial report at the general meeting showed our finances were in good orders especially since we had just increased our maintenance the month prior to the garage increase. What would have been more acceptable was if a reconsideration of the previous board's actions would have been taken. The fact is we elected 3 new members to the board at the general meeting and they were not given a chance to reconsider this decision.. The president refusing to allow it to come to the new board has sewn a lot of ill will on t he part of those who thought their views would at least be brought up again.
