Board Member Promotes Unlicensed/Uninsured Alterations Nov 21, 2017

I have a fellow Board Member who adamantly refused to comply with our Alteration Policy and is renovating his apartment himself with the help of family members and friends. He also provides other shareholders with referrals to Unlicensed/Uninsured plumbers, electricians, etc. The latest is that I just found out that our managing agent has allowed a new shareholder to renovate using family members. The shareholder told her he didn’t think he needed to submit any insurance documents/plans, etc. since he is doing the work himself and she let him do it. Any advice?

Unlicensed alterations - Marty Nov 21, 2017

If the rest of the Board is aware of the situation, I think you must get your attorney involved with a cease and desist letter. Nothing like a firmly stated letter from the attorney to let this Board member know that you're serious.

Does your co-op impose penalties for unlicensed/uninsured renovations? If so, he must be treated like any other shareholder.

He's also taking actions that are clearly not in the best interests of the co-op, so this person shouldn't even be on the Board. How do your by-laws allow for removal of a Board member?
