					  <description><![CDATA[Using the services of a trained professional and making sure you have the input of your constituents - in this case the residents of your co-op or condo building - are two elements of a project that are sometimes hard to reconcile, particularly in the case of a creative endeavor like a remodel or renovation. It is important that all parties know what their roles are, so they can work together and not step on each other's toes. In the case of interior renovations, a shareholder design committee is typically formed and seeks the input of an architect or a designer. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[ For the past couple of decades, interest in the environment and "greening" of residential buildings has been creeping into our daily lexicon; nowadays, the theories have become practice, and renewable or "green" power is now more accessible than ever before. With planning and guidance, just about any building can inject a little environmentally friendly, money-saving green into its daily operations. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[While not a common practice, boards of directors of New York cooperatives have,
at times, reached the decision to evict a shareholder based on objectionable conduct.
Nearly every cooperative corporation's proprietary lease contains a section on
dealing with default. Objectionable conduct on the part of the shareholder or
other residents in the apartment provides the board with the basis for terminating
the shareholder's shares and evicting them from the building. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[There are five main rules that must always be considered when designing apartment
building lobbies. Each project has its own set of circumstances and goals. And
these goals must also coincide with the aesthetics, the inherent building style,
furnishings, fixtures, and existing interiors of the building. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Patricia is a 65 year-old woman who is in good physical and mental shape. She
 exercises daily, sees her physician regularly and is active in the community.
 She lives alone in an apartment and doesn't even want to consider moving to
 an assisted living center or nursing home when the time comes that she has difficulty
 caring for herself. Patricia prefers to age right where she is, in her own home
 that she loves so much.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Unwanted sound is the bane of many a New York co-op or condo dweller's existence.
 Few things are as annoying as being awakened in the middle of the night by a
 car alarm, being forced to listen to a neighbor's stereo against your will,
 or having to tread lightly in order to avoid disturbing the people who live
 below you. Noise-driven complaints can also generate serious friction between
 residents, leading both to festering resentment and, in some cases, to lawsuits.
 Fortunately, there's an entire industry dedicated to providing soundproofing
 solutions for almost any scenario, from the light sleeper who needs to seal
 noise out to the music lover who wants to seal it in. Unfortunately, the word
 &quot;soundproofing&quot; itself is a bit optimistic.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[ Throughout New York City, some of the most sought-after apartments
 are located in prewar buildings (those built prior to World War II), such as
 the Central Park West's Dakota or the stately maisonettes located on the Upper
 East Side. On the outside, these majestic structures reflect a bygone era rich
 in detail and master craftsmanship matched only by the ornate moldings, solid
 wood mantels, grand marble staircases and other design elements which impart
 an old world charm to the apartments within.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[We've all done it: walking along a quiet street in the evening, our eyes are drawn
to the lit windows overlooking the sidewalk-we crane our necks to catch a quick
glimpse of the sumptuously-decorated apartment behind the curtains, and immediately
begin speculating on how much it's all worth. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Everybody knows at least one person who can't seem to bear
 parting with anything, be it movie ticket stubs from 1978, scratched-up Tupperware,
 or their grandpa's back-issues of National Geographic. The tendency to hang
 onto every random piece of clothing, furniture, paper, or printed material can
 cause problems aplenty even when the packrat has tons of space, but when the
 tendency toward clutter meets a waffle-sized Manhattan apartment, disaster is
 imminent. ]]></description>
