Zarina and David going to Dubai again thinking of this website and how many people know about their scams
Zarina IMO you will go to jail soon if you don’t stop posting here. You’re the only one known to have a bad mouth in this whole neighborhood.
APARTMENT INSURANCE: Shareholders have been required to have apartment insurance for at least one year before Chandra Jain left the co-op. (I had State Farm until one day it was “raining” inside my apartment. I turned to Allstate and their answer was they would give me money and I had to find a contractor to seal ceiling cracks and to repaint my entire ceiling. I dropped Allstate.) Since I am a Veteran, I called USAA and got coverage for less and repair guarantees. If you already have auto insurance, it should be an easy step to incorporate your Renters Insurance.
From A I:
Renters insurance isn’t required by NYC or New York State law, but it’s very common for landlords to make it a lease requirement to protect their property and your belongings, covering things like your stuff from theft/fire, liability, and living costs if displaced.
Why Landlords Require It:
-
Liability Protection: Covers you if you accidentally cause damage to the apartment or someone gets hurt, protecting both you and the landlord from lawsuits.Personal Property: Protects your furniture, electronics, clothes, etc., from covered events like fire, theft, or vandalism.
-
Temporary Living Expenses: Pays for hotels and meals if you can’t live in your apartment due to a covered loss.—————————————–MORE
Following is copied from the NYS Department of Financial Services:
Renter’s Insurance
Many uninsured renters are under the mistaken impression that their landlord’s policy covers their possessions. A landlord does not provide insurance for a tenants personal property. An exception to this can occur if the landlord was aware of a prior hazardous condition, failed to correct it in a reasonable time frame, and as a result your property was damaged.
If you are a renter residing in New York, by law the building owner is required to maintain insurance on the dwelling you rent. This means that the building itself is insured, and should something happen to this structure as the result of fire, water damage, etc, the building owner is entitled to file a claim. However, the landlord’s insurance does not protect you as a renter. If this same fire or water damage should ruin your sofa, clothes or other personal items, you are not protected against the loss of these items unless you buy a renters insurance policy. Moreover, if someone becomes injured while on the premises you rent, you could potentially be held liable for any medical and hospital expenses.
To protect yourself and your belongings, renters should consider purchasing renters insurance, also known as “tenants insurance.”

While going through co-op docs, it is repeated in the Proprietary Lease (page 30); initial Offering Plan (pgs 151/152); Certificate of Incorporation; that (A) 75% of shareholders are needed to vote – BEFORE rent as.sessments are made AND – imposing any reserve for contingencies, repairs, or replacements by more than 5%. (B) 75% shareholder vote needed BEFORE new or additional services… can you say “CAMERAS”??
Where do you track fines?
why is there like a $2500 violation for the parking garage? they say we didnt even show for court?
How does the office accept deliveries if you don’t have homeowners insurance?
Ron – hi
the NEW non refundable extra fee is $250
not $500 ( this amount is refundable)
It says clearly In their newsletter that was sent recently !
can we complain about this fee to DA office ?also question regarding mandatory insurance for apartment! It’s states on the newsletter that anyone who doesn’t have it will be imposed a $100 fee, by February everyone has to have insurance, with up to $3000 liability coverage
I believe that insurance is a scam and in most cases because it will not cover damages.
what is your opinion on this subject?
thanks
I’ve been off site for a few days. This is the first I’ve heard of a non-refundable fee for using the elevator.
You have TWO things to do IF you have something about that in writing
1. Call the Queens District Attorneys Office 718.286.6000. Give them your name, apartment number, and building address.
2. Tell them that your management company is AKAM ASSOCIATES, INC. and they issued a notice that they are charging shareholders a $500 NON-REFUNDABLE FEE just for using the passenger elevators for furniture or major appliances and that we do not have freight elevators.
Then tell them AKAM is located on the 14th floor of 99 Park Avenue, NY NY 10016 Phone 212.986.0001
David is peanuts. AKAM has the deep pockets to pay NYC and NYS penalties for breaking the law.
David represents AKAM and if his name is on a piece of paper he speaks for AKAM!
Why do they need to charge a NON-REFUNDABLE fee if you buy new furniture or appliances? Ron- is this illegal. There is nothing is the by laws about this.
The REFUNDABLE deposit was bad enough. No one ever checked if the hallways or elevators were damaged by delivery men immediately. Anything could happen after.
Navid Ahadian needs to just go to sleep and retire and enjoy his big house he purchased while ruling park city. He couldn’t have not done it with US shareholders! (::::
There were also no major projects as well’ but only increases to PAYROLL and board bonuses.
Well we already had 5.5% increase and a 6% increase in the past two years so don’t talk if you don’t know our history and are from the outside world. It also does not make sense to increase so much for our building. We have a lot of residents paying. So no need for this multiple theif increases
My brother in-laws maintenance increase was 4.75% and his Aunt was 6%
Taking that into account for our Queen’s neighborhood our 2.5% was good this year.plus they pay much higher garage fees.
All of the Forementioned is illegal !!
Either we get them out ASAP
OR
we will loose all of our money
