Has anyone encountered a hurdle that the co-op is declining to allow access to the shareholder lists, citing privacy requirements imposed by the Patriot Act?
Has anyone been faced with a partial or complete prohibition? For example, partial only names are shown, only last names shown, displayed without address (some residents have an alternate address or an alternate primary residence), phone, SS#,
Does the Patriot Act trump the proprietary lease?
Just wondering....
Your annoymouse posting is out of line. skip your editorializing and just answer the question, or skip your response.... Also no annoymouse postings!!!
It's just my opinion but why be concerned with the Patriot Act unless you have reason to think that SHs in your coop are involved with terrorist groups or activities?
Your proprietary lease says what documents your SHs are entitled access to. They generally are allowed to the SH name/address list as long as they act in good faith and intend to use the list for a valid coop purpose. But SHs' Soc Sec numbers SHOULD NOT be given to anyone at any time.
It's easy enough to find out what SHs live in a building by looking at the doorbell or mailroom directory. Some coops send all SHs a form and ask them to indicate if they do not want their phone numbers and/or e-mail addresses given out. Some coops send a form to just non-resident SHs and ask if they want any of their info left off a SH list that may be given to other SHs since they live in other locations. We all still have our right to privacy.
Can't understand why anyone would want such information on shareholders to be MORE readily available. It would be interesting to find out from the orginal poster why he asked this question.
