 building before it became a co-op, and have had numerous problems with the
 owners.  ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;At our recent annual meeting we were shocked to learn that a single shareholder
&nbsp;had, without any discussion, filed a complaint with the NYC or NYS over the absence of a ramp or some
&nbsp;other special equipment (lift or elevator, possibly) that would provide her
&nbsp;with better access our lobby (which includes a few steps up to the elevator on
&nbsp;the first floor). We do have both steps and a ramp of sorts from the outside of
&nbsp;each of the three buildings in our co-op that lead to the basement, where the
&nbsp;elevator is then accessible without steps.

					  <description><![CDATA[ My co-op has a balloon mortgage that will burst in approximately 5-6 years if
 not refinanced. We were told that the lender will not allow a refinancing for
 at least another year, if not longer, and has refused to do one for the past
 2-4 years. How can this be legal?

					  <description><![CDATA[ Anyone who has ever gazed at the Manhattan skyline
 knows how much architecture has shaped the heart of New York City.
 It&#8217;s no surprise then that the New York Chapter of the American
 Institute of Architects (AIA New York) has grown into one of the most
 active and vital architectural organizations in the world. With a
 membership of more than 3,200 practicing architects, allied professionals,
 students and public members, the AIA NY has been involved in the growth of
 this city for more than a century, through a diverse array of educational
 and civic activities designed to explore the role of architects in housing,
 planning, historic preservation and urban design.

					  <description><![CDATA[ They say that two heads are better than one&#8212;but
 what about eight? It seems that when a group of people in the same line of
 work get together to discuss what they do and how they do it, they often
 come away with new information, fresh perspectives, and possible solutions
 to the challenges they face on a daily basis.

					  <link>http://cooperator.com/articles/1272/1/Theres-Something-About-Great-Neck/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[ The nine villages and several unincorporated
 communities that make up the city of Great Neck are steeped in history.
 &nbsp;F. Scott Fitzgerald chose Great Neck as the setting for his famous
 novel, The Great Gatsby, and even though the area has gone through many
 changes since Fitzgerald&#8217;s time, one trip to Great Neck makes it
 clear why the community is one of Long Island&#8217;s gems.

					  <description><![CDATA[ The inspections and repairs required by the
 city&#8217;s Local Law 11 are often viewed by buildings as a costly hassle,
 but they can also been seen as an opportunity to make necessary
 improvements to your building&#8217;s fa&ccedil;ade, and to keep the area
 surrounding your building safe.

					  <description><![CDATA[ The city can be a tough place to navigate even for the
 most able-bodied New Yorkers. For the elderly, those with disabilities, or
 anyone whose mobility has been compromised by illness or injury&#8212;even
 temporarily&#8212;getting into their own building can feel like a
 monumental task.

					  <description><![CDATA[ New York City is a beautiful place, but let&#8217;s
 face facts&#8212;it gets pretty dirty. All the fumes from countless trucks
 and cars letting off exhaust leave a layer of grim on buildings so thick
 that in many cases, it&#8217;s impossible to know just how a lot of
 buildings were intended to look.
