by law violations in the hands of the board over 11 months

[go22]

for the past 11 months & continuing medical health life endangerment/housecleaning noise & illegal hours renovations by law violations have been allowed to continue. via registered mail we mailed to co-op attorney & building manager letters & continued written medical documentation stating physicians medical concerns that their patient is at risk for stroke or heart attack which could result in loss of life suffering from sleep deprivation cardiac and a host of other medical issues, including reporting to work suffering sleep deprivation and falling which resulted in breakage of 2 ribs in november 2005 which are still healing whereas
the patient has stated stems from continuous unacceptable illegal noise conditions after 11 pm from upstairs co-op owner. to date still no reply other than "its still in the hands of the board" and board pres. is also the licensed
realtor who sold the upstairs party her co-op. the bylaws clearly state all
noise must be contained in your own apt. regarding habitability/quiet enjoyment and yet they all refuse to address & resolve these life threatening by law violations. isn't the landlord, co-op attorney, board pres. , board members, sales/building mgr. all in violation? please advise how we can properly phrase this to ensure the board pres. does not refuse to address it at our next board meeting of 1/19/2006, since to date nothing has been done & it is clearly evident since last february 2005 that none of them have any intention of addressing it other than stating it is still in the hands of the board, and we were advised by others not to call the police for if we do it will then become a legal issue and completely absolve the cooperative of all responsibilities.

How is noise a medical health concern?
How is carpet a violation?
If you are this unhappy here -- which your half dozen questions seem to imply, either run for president or move.
If the president is stating that things are in the hands of the board why don't you believe him? He is president not dictator and therefore he may preside over the board but the board still deals with everything.

ohiogal,
i believe we were typing at the same time but i have thoroughly addressed all issues which should answer your questions, but thank you for your interest and replies.

[You Are Guilty]

If, after complaining to the Board in writing, return receipt requested, they do not take corrective action, you have the option of suing the Board/Mgmt Co. for failing to enforce the proprietary lease and house rules.

You will probably want to enlist the aid of an attorney to do so.
