In need of an attorney, I am a shareholder in a building and i am not getting enough heat for the last 2 years..
I should add i'm a coop shareholder..
What happened two years ago that reduced the steam to your apartment while not affecting anyone else?
Call 311 and ask them how to file a no-heat complaint against the managing agent.
Aboutready is good in these scenarios. She is not an attorney, but she owns half of her husband's law degree, and in her last place, she managed to win a windfall in a lawsuit against a party that didn't even own the building when she lived there and aboutready hadn't even been harmed by any party at all!
Saul Goodman and Associates.
I don't know why people think that an attorney can solve their problems. You can't be the only one not getting enough heat.
Attorney, why use an attorney when you can have a wife of an attorney?
Or you could just be our resident SE ass and see how that works for you.
On a more helpful note, has this changed? Have you been there more than two years? Fuel has been so expensive the last couple of years, particularly given the low temperatures. Oil costs have plummeted recently, but don't expect the results to get better the first year. They may or may not. GL.
Just call your managing agent or talk to your board.
If you have been notified the Board and the Managing Agent repeatedly over the past 2 years. hire an attorney.
I lived in a coop where just a few of the neighbors had no heat. They hired a lawyer eventually after being repeatedly ignored by the Board and the Managing Agent. Apparently, one of the Board members on that line made modifications to the heating units within their apartment that blocked others on the line from getting heat. That's why their complaints weren't handled. The Board member didn't want to go through the expense of fixing the heating system again or being caught about for an illegal renovation he did on his own.
The lawyer for these people called the appropriate city agencies to inspect the apartments. He also held the Board's and the Managing Agent's feet to the fire. The building was also slapped with numerous violations that the city uncovered at the same time.
