Co-op/Condo News: Sex-Crime Super Out, Kremlin-Style Board Tries to Stay In

NYC: March 8, 2010 — Recent news of note for your co-op or condo board. The convicted child-rapist super is finally gone, a condo board prez embezzles, a Kremlin-like co-op board endorses ITSELF on the proxy notice (with little stars next to their names, comrade!), and the co-op and condo market is either bad or good, depending on who's talking. And just who's talking? Why, some of the most relevant newspapers, magazines, websites and blogs you should be reading. Oh, wait! That's what Habitat's weekly Monday News Roundup is for: We go through everything so you don't have to!
