					  <title><![CDATA[Q&amp;A: Whose Cable Now?]]></title>
					  <link>http://cooperator.com/articles/1833/1/QampA-Whose-Cable-Now/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[Our building is seriously considering replacing our present cable television
 with a satellite dish system. Cablevision installed TV cables and equipment in
 our hi-rise residential condo building several years ago, and has continued to
 be our cable provider. We need to know who is presently the lawful owner of the
 TV cables and equipment in our building. Do we have to ask permission from
 Cablevision to remove, replace or use the existing TV cable for our own
 purposes?  ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[My parents are both in their seventies and have begun setting their financial
 affairs in order. They have put whatever assets they own, such as cars, stocks
 and bonds, into their family trust in order to simplify their estate and avoid
 probate.  ]]></description>

					  <title><![CDATA[Q&amp;A: To Flip, or Not to Flip the Tax]]></title>
					  <link>http://cooperator.com/articles/1831/1/QampA-To-Flip-or-Not-to-Flip-the-Tax/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[Our 60-unit, self-managed co-op changed its bylaws about ten years ago to allow
 parents to sublet from their children and vice versa. The bylaws were changed
 with the condition that the flip tax would continue with any transfer of the
 apartment. The owners are claiming there is no change in ownership or tax
 status since the apartment is staying in the hands of a member of the same
 family. Is this legal and should we continue to require a flip tax transfer for
 the subtenants even if they are related? Any advice would be most appreciated.  ]]></description>

					  <link>http://cooperator.com/articles/1830/1/QampA-Sole-Access-Sole-Responsibility/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[ I live in an older co-op that has eight large roof-terraces from 300 to 500
 square feet. We have experienced leaks emanating from these terraces, over the
 years, to the apartments below. No one is able to use the terraces except the
 shareholder that has sole access to them. The square footage of the terrace is
 included in the shareholder&#8217;s monthly maintenance fee at a reduced rate since the terrace is only used for
 part of the year. This reduced maintenance fee was decided on years ago by the
 board at the time. Because of the difficulty in finding the leak, repairing it
 and then removing most if not all the tiles to replace them with new ones, we
 have found the costs to be outstanding.  ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Like so many other neighborhoods and areas of the city, the Glen Oaks Village cooperative in Queens has seen its share of good times and not-so-good times. But from the bleak days of the 1970s and &#8216;80s, thanks to a conversion, a committed, self-managing board, and involved shareholders, the picture at Glen Oaks Village today is very different from what it was a couple of decades ago. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[A little over four years ago, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
 (SOX) was signed into law. The most significant provision was Section 404,
 which requires corporations to conduct an annual assessment and report on
 the effectiveness of their internal financial controls.

					  <description><![CDATA[Sometime in the future, perhaps, teleporters like those
 seen on Star Trek will be a reality. Every co-op and condo building will
 have one&#8212;not for purposes of travel, but for storage. Until
 technology allows us to beam our bins and boxes of old clothes, holiday
 decorations, and unused sporting goods to a depot in, say, South Dakota,
 however, nobody in New York City will have enough space for storage.

					  <link>http://cooperator.com/articles/1367/1/Going-Up/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[In a vertical city like New York where it&#8217;s not
 uncommon for people to wake up in a mid-rise apartment building before
 heading to work in a midtown skyscraper, it&#8217;s easy to take elevators
 for granted. Easy, that is, until something goes wrong with one. And when
 something does go wrong, it can even end up in the next day&#8217;s
 headlines&#8212;like in April, 2005, when deliveryman Ming Kuang Chen spent
 three days trapped in the elevator of a Bronx high-rise. Or like last May,
 when several young tourists were stuck very publicly inside the glass
 elevator cage at Apple&#8217;s brand new Fifth Avenue store in Manhattan.

					  <description><![CDATA[Managing a co-op or condo community is far from an easy
 job. Six managing agents from some of the city&#8217;s top firms recently
 participated in the continuing series of roundtable discussions hosted by
 The Cooperator and the Federation of New York Housing Cooperatives and
 Condominiums (FNYHC) to provide some insight into the intricacies of co-op
 and condo management.
