Do board members not participate in board voting if they are among shareholders needing repairs/replacements of plumbing or heating elements that are part of the corporations' responsibilty? And, if a Board member wants a danfoss valve becuase his unit get too much heat, is that a corporation expense? Thanks.
Let me try to clarify: It happens that several Board members currently have heating deficiencies in their apartments. The one Board member who does not--he had too much heat and the prior board, of which his wife was a member, bought him a danfoss valve to reduce the heat in his unit, and two of the other Board members at that time bought themselves new radiators to replcae original baseboard. By the way, their lack of legal heat was never verified.
Now the Valve guy who is on the current Board wants the Board members still without legal temps when the weather goes below freezing, is hemming and hawing about it not being ethical for the needy to vote for their own upgrade to their heating units. He wants them to rescuse themselves from the vote, get multiiple bids, be verified by a third pary as to temperature (who is a non-partial 3rd party anyway?) all the thinks the prior Board, of which his wife was a member, did not do. It appears very hypocritcal especially coming from someone who possibly benefitted in a way that he shouldn't have in the first place.
Just trying to see if any of his points are valid or usual practice.
Thanks.
Are you on the Board?
There are mechanical engineers who can look at this system for you and document deficienceis and problem areas.
This will not only assist in making neccessary adjustments to the system, but in showing that most of your concerns are valid and that some of these individual changes in the system may have effected the system as a whole, in a negative way.

I too am a little confused regarding your post but here goes. As regards repairs etc it should make no difference as to whether you are the "Coop President" or whether you moved in last month. Either the Coop is responsible for the repair or it is not check in your properiority lease.

Nickie, I believe the tenant is requesting a "special valve" because they are getting too much heat? Any way I agree with you it makes no difference who you are. But on the other hand, if the valve is a different valve that the building uses, then the tenant should pay.

Not quite sure we understand your question with regard to voting?? Repairs and repair status has nothing to do with voting.. Please explain.
With regard to a valve and whose expense... this is probably (in my opinion) covering up for a larger problem of improper heat distribution. That issue should be addressed before spending money on Band-Aids and excess fuel.
