Ha anyone heard which by-laws the board wants changed? And didn’t they originally promise a list regarding what would be fined and how much for each infraction?
BEWARE OF ANY “SPECIAL ELECTION” to change our By-Laws.
In our case, our By-Laws are a set of rules that prevent the Board of Directors from becoming a total dictatorship. The Board illegally cancelled the June 2022 elections because the lawyer made her own “interpretation” of the By-Laws.
All laws, and corporation By-Laws, are WRITTEN just so they cannot simply be interpreted!
When approached to sign anything to amend or revoke any of the By-Laws you might think, by the way it’s phrased, that it means just one thing but it could have duel meanings that could give more power to the Board.
Further, the Certificate of Incorporation [see them in DOCUMENTS] clearly states that so long as there are still sponsor held shares (there currently are) that a vote of 100% of co-op shares are required to make any change to the By-Laws.
If the sponsor no longer holds any shares in the co-op, then 75% of the total co-op shares are required.
DO NOT BE DUPED BY VERBAL STATEMENTS OR PROMISES.
“they held their own meet the candidates events and kept out other candidates”
Not only is this impossible as they were held in a public park, but Kramberg was at almost every one of those meetings.
The new candidates posted notices of a Meet the Candidates gathering at the 62nd Street park but persons “unknown” went out of their way to plaster notices all over the lobbies stating that there was no such meeting. I wonder who had that much time and manpower to post those cancellation notices???
There were 12 of the cancellation notices just in the 9740 lobby. Also, Rose showed up at the meeting with Lucy and they were cellular recording everyone who spoke so “other candidates were NOT kept out”.
That’s true that “Chandra did not need the candidates permission to hold a candidates night”. But it’s also true that when the present board members were candidates, they held their own meet the candidates events and kept out other candidates. They did not want a fair and open exchange because it would be to their detriment. Just look at how they’ve sat silent at every meeting since, deferring to the lawyer to speak for them. Definitely a “bad look for them”. Which is why it seems suspicious that they would be reelected in an honest vote.
Just to be clear, in the past the management office and not the board would arrange for a candidates night that would be moderated by a neutral party. The last candidate’s night was moderated by a shareholder named Ted who has since moved out. When the present board members first ran for office, they were not interested in attending a candidates night nor were they in this election. Hopefully shareholders will insist on a candidate’s night to be held 2 weeks before the next election.
“they were not interested in a candidates night”
It’s the board, not board candidates, that decide when and if a candidates jgiht occurs. This is a complete lie.
Thanx to whoever posted today at 3:06pm today and addressed the post that sarcastically brought up the COVID pandemic but wasn’t ballsy enough to ID him/herself. Thank U for addressing this much more diplomatically then I was going to. Obviously I was stating the need for Candidates Night(s) for THIS year’s election when we ARE having in person shareholders meetings!

The highest number of people that we would get for candidates night was maybe 50 people. Imagine what the number would have been during the hight of Covid in the Spring of 2020. There was definitely no annual meeting in 2020. As for 2021, there originally wasn’t a candidates night since there were no opposition candidates. Afterwards, there was that challenge from the present group and they were not interested in a candidates night just like they didn’t want one this time. You can see why they don’t want a candidates night by the fact that they have had nothing to say at the last 2 meetings and need on relying for our lawyer to do all the talking. And those are the facts.
So saying there was a candidates night every year simply isn’t true
Why would covid stop candidates night from occurring but not our annual meetings? As I recall the annual meetings those years were in person
Four people did leave though and two of the board members are brand new
HI, HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE THAT NONE OF THE NEW CANDIDATES GOT ELECTED. WHEN WE WERE ELECTED LAST YEAR , WE HAD A MEETING WITH EMMA, AND SHE WAS TELLING US THAT EVERY YEAR SOMEONE FROM THE BOARD HAS TO LEAVE AND GET A NEW CANDIDATES SO BOARD WOULD REFRESH EVERY YEAR. WHAT HAPPENS NOW IS SAME THING THAT WAS WITH CHANDRA. EVERYTHING IS ORCHESTRATED BY EMMA. SHE IS REALLY REALLY SNEAKY AND BAD PERSON . THIS IS HER BREAD AND BUTTER . SHE IS HERE FOREWER. ZARINA IS MAKING MONEY, HER BOYFRIEND HAS SIX FIGURE JOB. EVERYONE HAPPY. WE OPENED BOX OF PANDORA WHEN WE LET THESE PEOPLE . OUR COOP IS GOING INTO HELL. ELEVATORS STILL NOT WORKING . ROACHES ARE ALL OVER .
IS THERE ANY WAY MAYBE TO GET SIGNATURES OF MAJORITY SHAREHOLDER AND SIMPLY RELEASE CURRENT BOARD? IF THERE IS LETS ORGANIZE THAT AND WE CAN DO EASY WAY.
THANK YOU
There weren’t any candidates nights in 2021 and 2020 because of something called Covid. You may have heard of it.
There was no candidates night in 2021 or 2020.
There was always a Candidates Night for past elections. There were postings for a Candidates Night this year as well, but they were 1) removed and 2) emails and postings on elevators (which is against house rules) were sent out saying that there was no candidates night being held. Either management, present board members or both did all they could to sabotage the meeting. This goes to show what kind of people were reelected.
Where are the result numbers?
