					  <description><![CDATA[If you want to tour some of Manhattan&#8217;s most impressive apartment house architechture, a trip to the Upper West side is a no-brainer.

					  <description><![CDATA[ Like most companies, co-ops and condos have two
 important, yet distinct budgets which allow boards and owners to manage the
 day-to-day and long-term financial requirements of their buildings. The
 operating budget includes recurring expenses such as salaries, taxes,
 utilities, insurance and maintenance items. The previous year&#8217;s
 expenses are generally a good indicator for the next year&#8217;s budget.

					  <description><![CDATA[ Nearly every residential building in the city has
 one&#8212;they&#8217;re an integral part of all your building systems, a
 direct line of communication between your residents, your manager, and your
 board. They&#8217;re on-call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They know
 things nobody else knows, and can do things nobody else can do.
 They&#8217;re building supers, and they&#8217;re the backbone of the
 city&#8217;s thousands of multi-family buildings&#8212;co-ops, condos, and
 rentals alike.

					  <description><![CDATA[ Plumbing is one of those things we take for granted yet
 without it, we might as well be back in the Stone Age. With dozens,
 hundreds and sometimes thousands of people living in individual co-op and
 condo complexes, the importance of well-maintained indoor plumbing grows
 exponentially.

					  <description><![CDATA[ Do you know what your problem is? More
 importantly, do you know if it&#8217;s actually your problem? In the world of
 condos and co-ops, understanding who is responsible for what in an apartment
 or in a building&#8217;s common areas isn&#8217;t always clear to apartment
 owners or shareholders. During the process of purchasing a condo unit or shares
 in a co-op, buyers are often so engrossed in the buying process itself that
 they don&#8217;t invest the effort needed to understand the ins- and-outs of
 ownership. This can lead to confusion, even anger, when the need for repairs
 starts popping up. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[ Technical advances are being made in just
 about every area of our lives, and it&#8217;s no wonder that residential buildings
 are taking advantage of what&#8217;s available to make life better, simpler
 and more economical. More and more buildings are being built from the ground
 up with &#8220;intelligent&#8221; wiring and integrated operating systems, and
 existing buildings are getting in on the act as well, upgrading their communications,
 security, and indoor environmental systems to improve value and convenience
 for residents. ]]></description>

					  <link>http://cooperator.com/articles/1211/1/The-Heat-is-On/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[ There are worse places to be than New York City in the
 winter &#8212; Minneapolis, for example, or Anchorage. Thanks to the North
 Atlantic current, the Big Apple doesn&#8217;t tend to freeze as hard as
 some other northern cities, but it still gets darned cold, and if your
 building suffers from heating problems, darned cold is cold enough. Most
 managers and board members tend to leave heating issues to their supers or
 building maintenance staff, but when the pipes are hissing and residents
 are up in arms and suffering from hypothermia, it can be helpful to
 understand what the problem is and how it might be fixed.

					  <link>http://cooperator.com/articles/1210/1/The-Fifth-Wall/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[ &#8220;Up On the Roof&#8221; is the title of a famous
 1960s song by The Drifters about two New York inner-city lovers who go up
 to the roof just to get away from the &#8220;hustling crowd.&#8221;
 There&#8217;s a lot of romantic connotation to New York City&#8217;s
 rooftops&#8212;but how many people really know, or care, what&#8217;s up
 there?
