washer/dryers in sponsor apts Jun 08, 2016

Our cooperative used to allow WSH/Dryers. Then they made a rule - no new ones. The old ones are grandfathered in.
If a sponsor apt does NOT have a W/D when the regulated tenant vacates, dies or is bought out, can the sponsor or the new owner or renter then install one if it was not pre-existing?
)Please only answer if you know the actual facts of this). Thanks!

washers/dryers in sponsor apts - JG in NYC Jun 09, 2016

If the regulated apt is vacated, I believe that the apt. becomes unregulated (formerly under rent control or rent stabilization) and the coop proprietary lease, governing documents and house rules would then apply. Sponsor can then offer it for sale or rent at free market rates.
My coop goes a step further, if a current owner with a washer/dryer grandfathered in, sells, the washer/dryer must be removed. There is almost nothing worse in a building than water leaks.

No that is not it but good try. - DM Jun 09, 2016

BTW you should allow the new washers - they are very low on water usage now and you put in a a leak alarm tray below them that stops water in case of a leak.

Rules & Regulations - Queens Jun 10, 2016

Although a rule regarding parking spaces has always existed In rules & regulations not by-laws, my co-op has never enforced this rule.

Now a new board has decided to put this rule back into effect because there are many new shareholders that were promised parking spaces. Therefore unless a vehicle is registered in the shareholders name, they are no longer entitled to a parking space.

It seems unfair to take parking spaces away from long time shareholders especially since the co-op was aware that some shareholders did not have vehicles in their name.

I read an article on your site regarding " WAIVER AND SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT". If I understand this article correctly it states that if a rule has not been enforced for a long period of time it is null and void.
Is this correct?
