our Super has a friend who is an electrician. This electrian works in apartment that the Super does "private jobs' in - some of the sponsor apartments. The managing agent/ coop has also used this electrician for buiding project and now a board member has used this elecrtician for his apt. It is suspected the Super gets a kick baclk. Is this a conflict?
Join the Conversation Comments (2)Hi - oh sorry . Ok the Super and management company may both be profiting. ? Suscker. I feel like cop boards are clueless as to really what to what goes. on. suckers. and this is part of why maintenance is so high
The only conflict that might exist would be whether the super is doing "private jobs" during the time he is paid to be a "super". If the co op board allows him to do private jobs, then, if they are done after hours it would be fine. Be sure that both the electrician and super have necessary insurance apart from what the co op might provide, in the event there is a problem. It might also be a good idea to get something in writing stating that there is no liability on the part of the co op for work done above and beyond any required by the super's employment by the co op.

No ... not at all. Where is the conflict ?
Is the electrician profesional ?
Are the tenants happy ?
Management companies do get kick backs too, by the way.
