I passed the below information to members of OneVoice Tenants Association and thought I’d share it here. I hope it’s helpful to those with billing issues.

————————————————————
I went through my last 7 months of 2023 maintenance bills and, using the kHw usage divided into the dollar amount charged, I came up with what looks like we’ve already been paying a variable rate.
May 2023 reads .1698870056cents per kHw {that’s almost 17 cents} to simplify the next 6 months, I’m only going to use the first 4 digits:
June 2023 = .1738 (again, these are all cents per kHw not dollars)
July 2023 = .1647
August = .1831
September = .1953
October = .2218
November = .2457
December = .2385
While it may appear the rate is getting higher – I spot checked some 2022 rates, as follows:
May 2022 = .1922
September 2022 = .2435
December 2022 = .2235
Lastly, do what I do. On the 20th day of every month check your meter and write the usage number on your wall calendar (it helps when you use ALEXA reminders – or SIRI ). Then, when you receive your maintenance bill showing the prior month’s usage you can compare it and should be within 50kHw of your calendar entry.

If that’s the case then the management should review the expected process of how to resolve delayed billing as outlined on the NY DPS website
in reply to the below comment: Even though they don’t regulate the company our management uses which is amps elemco, they are able to file a case for investigation. You have to call and ask for sub meter department who deal with it and ask for Mr Rick
You need to obtain a copy of an electric statement from the management office, and find an account number there and your individual meeter number.
This information you need in order to file a complaint
Electric company is not responding to phone calls and messages. So better deal with dps, they will help
Hi I called the dps website for the electric submeter they said they don’t regulate the company our management uses which is amps elemco
On the 20th day of every month I check my meter and I write the number on my calendar. I match it against my monthly bill and its usually very close. Its easier to do if you have a Siri or Alexa to remind you. Just say “set a reminder for the 20th day of every month” “check electricity” “10:45pm”
Once you have it all on your calendar its easier to challenge those errors.
here is information regarding electric charges
file a personal case to investigate your meter, to know if it’s broken or not!
https://dps.ny.gov/file-complaint
It’s better call them and speak to a representative than filing online!
you will have to provide your account number,which can be found on your maintenance statement
They will open a case for you, and will come to your apartment and check your meter and readings
during this time you don’t have to pay anything for electric charges. They will do an investigation
Thats what the representative told us
good luck

People . electricity charges for the month of december- you need to check your 6months electric charges and compare it. Some people got $200, some people got $180, some got $50, etc and charges are not correct
Something is wrong -management is claiming that meter is broken in every building. Very strange i think it has also to do with elevators, and now they want to switch to a con edison, while getting some money from new electric company and charge us more.
I would pay only what i usually pay for the month of September/October, i highly doubt that they will credit people back next month.
I would cancel autopay for the month of december
RACKMAN is running away from park city and not using you know who’s real estate company
His apartment os listed for sale
Looks like were getting new Board member
By Laws page 4 (next to last paragraph) “a director who ceases to be a shareholder shall be deemed to have resigned as a director”
UNBELIEVABLE! Tuesday will be the coldest day this week and theyre shutting down the boiler. That’s what happens when you let a jeweler change his name and become an instant property manager.
It’s just “poof” done without any intelligence.
I wonder if Rackmin’s trading company is selling the Holiday decorations to our co-op at his usual profit? After all, he is the co-op treasurer and knows how to shave the numbers.
Once again, there is no heat or hot water in 3 buildings- on the coldest day of the season to date. Why is there so much maintenance needed? I understand that these are old buildings. The E line in 9805 will also once again have no water tomorrow. Can’t they fix things once and for all?
Who thought it was a good idea to put in a carpet so thick you cant open the elevators?
Dumb management.
Whenever OneVoice notices are posted to laundry room bulletin boards, the maintenance men take them down – most likely at the instruction of the management office. Anna also removes them to post her flyers. There is a way to utilize the website so that you can create subject specific folders such as “next election” or by each building… in absolute secrecy. Go to the website’s REGISTER tab and read the bottom comments.
I have to point out that once the THOUGHTS tab was created, before the pandemic, no one has bothered to use the the REGISTER tab in the past 2 years. But it is still functional for registered shareholders to anonymously use it for they’re own purposes (but no advertising). Ron
Tenants do need a way to get organized but the way this site is set up makes it difficult for someone to follow what’s going on
Do tenants even know this website exists?
