I’ve heard that the indoor security guard booths have not been completed because the camera system is not working. Does anyone know if this is true? A lot of money was spent on this system.
Hey! This Navid-David guy works for Akam so why is he puting his name on notices everywhere using co-op letterhead???? He works for Akam not our co-op
Don’t we pay Akam enough so to use their own letterheaed or maybe theyre ashamed to have his name on Akam paperwork?????
More on inspections. The co-op must send you an advance notice of when they hope to inspect your apartment.
It MUST state the date and approximate time window (ex: 10-11:30am).
It must give you the option to call and reschedule it for another date and time.
It MUST clearly identify the nature of the inspection – sinks and tub leaks/overcrowded electrical outlets/working apartment alarms/window guards for children/braces for air conditioners/terraces not used for storage. NOTHING MORE!
It is YOUR apartment and what you do or have in it is not the co-op’s business. To avoid suspicions, do not leave cash or valuables in the open.
You should admit only ONE maintenance man, Instruct him to keep his phone in his pocket. If he sees something he needs to photograph HE MUST EXPLAIN WHY AND ASK YOUR CONSENT. If it has nothing to do with leaks or a possible hazard -SAY NO! Pictures without your consent are an invasion of your privacy.
You have every right to contact the police. If you feel you are being harassed or intimidated by that person or the co-op tell them to leave at once. If necessary, contact the 112 precinct at 1-718-520-9311 and tell them a person(s) is harassing you about an inspection and refuses to leave your apartment.

APARTMENT INSPECTIONS:
The co-op has the right – WITH YOUR PRIOR CONSENT – to check your apartment for sinks and tub leaks – working smoke and CO2 alarms – cleared electrical outlets and that your terrace is not being used for storage. THAT’S ALL!
THE CO-OP HAS NO RIGHT TO TAKE ANY PICTURES WITHOUT YOUR PRIOR CONSENT. THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO LOOK IN YOUR CLOSETS WITHOUT PROBABLE CAUSE AND NOT WITHOUT YOUR PRIOR CONSENT.
It only takes one ONE MAINTENANCE MAN 5 minutes to complete an inspection and he must keep his cellphone in his pocket at all times unless you consent to him taking a photo.
If the co-op cannot agree to these terms – DENY HIM ENTRY – and tell them to get a court order.
Not to harp on restaurants but the new Jing Li serves everything heavy with salt. Not good for high blood pressure. Pretty sure the shrimp and lobster bisque soup came from a can. An obvious seasoning they use is just soy sauce. Better to stay with JC on 63rd road
Give some thought to attending this event – meet members of the 112 precinct and residents of other co-ops and neighborhoods.

Over the past 20 years, have had Fu Ying a few times and never better than JC. Unfortunately, JC is now closed on Sundays. For Thai food, Spring Thai on Queens Blvd. where Ben’s Best (sadly gone) used to be.
Guys if you order Chinese take out from Fu Ying don’t do it late in the day especially ribs and fried chicken because they’ll send you dried out meats that are leftover from lunchtime. Otherwise ok but they burned me twice at dinnertime.
The new restaurant next to the old Chase Bank is Jing Li. Nice eat in seating, reasonable prices, interesting food choices, but a bit spicy. Yay! I like spicy. The lunch Bento Box $13 can fill you up unless you’re a bit piggy.
the new dryer machines have a great feature I just noticed today. They have an “anti-crease” function where after your dryer time has expired, the machine spins 1 time every few minutes to keep your clothes from getting wrinkled if you don’t take them out. That’s the highlight of the day today. Cheers.
The Board’s LIES and the TRUTH.
Maintenance men Antonio and Adolfo did not leave on their own as is implied in the BS newsletter.
They were FIRED by David who has always despised our Spanish-speaking maintenance men. David is so weak-minded about his inexperience that he imagines our long -time men are making fun of his incompetence so he’s firing all of them one or two at a time.
This should concern us all because any discrimination lawsuit will be against the co-op because the co-op is the actual employer of the maintenance staff (a decent lawyer won’t sue Akam or their incompetent manager) and you and me will have to pay for Davids mistakes from our pockets.
Isn’t it enough that we are forced to pay Akam $147 thousand a year for Zarina’s stupid husband whose negligence and childish behavior will bring us to bankruptcy. Get rid of the Board, Akam, David, and bar Zarina from doing any business here.
anybody wondering why akam doesn’t do unannounced drug tests on their employees?
they probably should to avoid negligence lawsuits. after all if something happens to me I’m suing both the co-op and akam for big bucks and against any known akam druggies. ‘nuf said.The destruction of our co-op lies in the hands of all shareholders who are disgusted with the actions of “an elected” co-op board and an incompetent managing agent – and who do nothing about changing it!
Akam’s credibility can be seen in the February 7, 2023 CBS Miami expose’ where Akam over estimated a charge of $46 million for maintenance repairs – using their sister company as a subcontractor (a conflict of interest) – on a 20 story Miami condominium. Copy and paste the below link into your browser for the complete CBS video and story:
In my opinion, another proof of Akam’s incompetence is the fact that they hired an inexperienced property manager who is slowly firing our co-op’s Hispanic maintenance men and replacing them, most likely, with men who are favored employees of Akam from other properties -or- possibly hired on the basis of their non-Hispanic ethnicity(?)
Just today, we are told they fired Adolfo from 9820 and Antonio from 9740.
As shareholders you have the power of your voted shares to make immediate changes.
You can remove one or all members of the board at a Special Meeting.
Go to the DOCUMENTS section of this website. Click on Corporation By Laws [the pages might open in your Documents folder].
On page 1 (page 395 of the original prospectus) Section 2.”Special Meetings” – A letter must be served on the co-op Secretary (Carl Godlewski) and it must be signed by shareholders owning 1/4 of all co-op shares (roughly 80,000 shares). That’s less than the total shares of two of our six buildings.
The Secretary must then set a time and date for the Special Meeting “not less than 10 days nor more than 50 days” and serve “each shareholder with a notice of the meeting to remove board members, either personally or by mail”.
Next – Scroll to page 4 (page 398 of the original prospectus), Read the 2nd paragraph of Section 4. “Resignation and Removal”. “Any director may be removed from office at any time with or without cause and at the pleasure of the shareholders meeting duly called for the purpose”
First you need to unite and sign a request for a Special Meeting, as described above, for the purpose of removing (six or all) board members. And once the time and date is set you MUST show up and vote them out. Due to my age and health issues, I cannot take the lead in making this happen. It takes a younger and more active person to unite the shareholders in this cause. This website will support you.
A change is in your hands. Don’t just sit on them – vote with them!
Thank you Ron for what you do for us
Sex Offenders
A concerned shareholder had previously posted the identity of a convicted sex offender residing in our co-op.
I had to delete the comment because it breached our confidentiality rule of personal accusations (true or false).
However, there is a public Registry website where other concerned parties can search for offenders by zip code.
The link to that registry is https://www.city-data.com/soz/soz-11374.html
Also, please note that due to the recent personal (false) attacks on my reputation; slanderous comments about my mother; family; and my best friend; we’ve implemented a decency program which will not allow for the posting of vile, vulgar, 4-letter, and or filthy slang words. The six different people who posted the personal attacks are presently unknown persons who resent this website and me personally for creating this tenant’s association and most likely about the many criticisms posted about the “Special Assessment”.
In my personal opinion, some Board and Management associates do not appreciate shareholders and tenants having a right to comment on this open forum.
