"officially no, but...."

Ask for a copy of the latest co-op building rules. Could be a new rule, and all those pets are grandfathered in.

Many coops have a no dog policy in case there is a "problem dog". So they allow dogs but keep the policy as insurance.

Bernie123, how do they handle it when someone buys an apartment? Do they interview your dog?

so they put the dog before a kangaroo court??

you typically don't say anything at the board interview. once you move in, if the pet is not a problem, you're fine. if the pet is a problem, they start with fines that keep increasing, then take you to court. you will most likely win, but it will cost you in terms of $$$ and stress.

sold one of my coops to a great buyer...cept for one thing...i heard their dog was a leaker...in the elevator

Thanks ab_11218! I don't know who would want to take that risk.
