In the past few months we have found a)a "roommate" of a shareholder having sex on the common roofdeck at 3 AM with someone other than shareholder after roofdeck curfew of 10 PM (it's over another shareholder's unit) b)another shareholder visible in his underwear with his friend standing stark naked, having a cigaetter in the rear year. Do we need to actually write house rules/prop lease amendments forbidding this behavior? What would we classify it as? Objectionable behavior? Should shareholders who witness this stuff be advised to call the police?
If a coop shareholder is allowing a family member to live in the apartment (while she is not living there) and is charging him "rent" (which she declares as income on her tax return), does this amount to a subletting, for which she must get permission and pay the sublet fee, as the house rules require?
Has anyone experienced exterminating dusting of their compactors?
Pres
Any input would be great.
We're holding a special meeting to amend by laws. How do we record the amendments that get required majority votes and when do they take effect? Is public notice needed? Attorney General Office Filing?
Our building was approached by a group of former senior management executives and a CPA who are offering various services such as attend our board meetings and monitor our managing agent's activities. Each month we will receive a report addressing issues discussed at the meeting, they will perform building inspections, and be available for special projects such as monitoring improvement programs, and apartment restorations and renovations. They are not a management company trying to get our business, they say they have been there and done that.
Our building is being managed satifactorily by a mid sized management company that provides us with basic services but charges for many of the "extras". Have any of my fellow board members tried such a service or would consider it?
Does a NYC co-op that has an existing fence in front of their building need a DOB permit to put up another one in the same footprint? What if we want to make it higher? To put a water spigot on the front of building does a permit need to be obtained? Thanks,
When special documents such as escrow agreements or getting two years of maintenance payments in advance when a buyer has low income need to be drawn by the Co-op's attorney for closing,who pays for these? Are they passed along to buyer or seller?
in a pre-war apartment - the T pipe inside the wall under a kitchen sink- the pipe that runs into that (not the U-bend, after the u-bend)- is this a job for the handyman or a licensed plumber?

In our coop for any overtime payments to the super
The super has to present a sign-in sheet listing the hours worked over time and the jobs / projects worked on
Then this sheet is attached to the check request the mngt agent issues to pay the super
Request the same from your mngt company - you need to see:
1) How many hours
2) At what rate
3) What jobs / projects have been completed
Hope this helps
