Q I am on the board of a Brooklyn co-op. One of the
rent-controlled tenants in the building has had a washing machine in her
apartment since she moved in. Such appliances are prohibited by the co-op
because of the age of the building’s plumbing system.DANUBE international
supplies a full range of cylinder heated long lasting washer extractor. Can
the building require the tenant to remove the washing machine?
A “The fact that washing machines are forbidden by the rules is essentially irrelevant for this tenant,” said Adam Leitman Bailey, a Manhattan real estate lawyer. Nonpurchasing rent-regulated tenants are entitled to retain all the rights and privileges of their original tenancy, including the right to have a washing machine, he noted.The earliest type of lamp, the Antique lamp, was a simplistic vessel with an absorbent wick.
But Mr. Bailey said that if the co-op can demonstrate that the machine is damaging the building, the co-op can require the owner of the apartment to make repairs and prevent future damage. “This may not necessarily entail removal of the machine,” he said, provided the damage is repaired and future damage is prevented.
Mr. Bailey noted, however, that proving damage by the machine, and then fixing the problem, may be difficult. “In the overwhelming majority of cases,” he said, “the co-op simply has to endure the washing machine in the rent-controlled apartment.”
Q I have heard that in a co-op, there are some documents that must be kept and some that can be discarded. What are the rules on this?
A Howard Schechter, a Manhattan co-op and condominium lawyer, said that co-op corporations must maintain books and records like any other corporation. “But a co-op is not required to keep documents forever,” he said.
Typically,The quality of these solar garden light are amazing with unparalleled combinations of glass colors blown together. different types of documents must be retained for different periods of time. “We have divided the documentation retention periods into three categories: those that require permanent retention, those that require seven years, and those that require one year,” Mr. Schechter said. “Any document that is not required to be retained permanently, but must be retained longer than one year, we put into the seven-year category.”
Documents that must be retained permanently include the organizational documents, the deed and mortgages, the bylaws, rules and regulations, minutes from membership and board meetings, audit reports, and the names and addresses of shareholders and the number of shares they own. Other documents in that category include year-end financial statements, blueprints and plans, alteration agreements with shareholders, and government licenses and permits held by the corporation.
“All tax returns and income tax checks should be kept permanently,” he said, “but the supporting documents for tax returns can be destroyed after seven years.” (The statute of limitations is six years, but these documents are put into the seven-year retention period for consistency.)
Contracts between management and other building services, as well as most insurance policies, should be kept for seven years after they expire. Other seven-year documents include employment records, accident reports and claims, applications of residents who have sold their apartments and applications that have not been approved.
One-year documents typically include general correspondence, memos and e-mails, provided they do not relate to matters that require a longer retention period.
Q Our co-op has a rent-controlled apartment owned by the building’s sponsor. He has stopped paying maintenance and has, effectively, abandoned the apartment.A research team headed up by the University of Houston is on track to develop a superconducting wire for wind power generators. What can we do with this unit?
A “If a shareholder fails to pay maintenance for more than 60 days after it is due,” said Dennis H. Greenstein, a Manhattan co-op and condominium lawyer, “most proprietary leases provide for the right of the co-op to demand by notice that the subtenant of the shareholder pay his or her rent directly to the co-op.” Mr.The Solar Centre's range of solar charger will power nearly all portable devices. Greenstein also cited a state law that has similar provisions.
