					  <link>http://cooperator.com/articles/1749/1/QampA-Foaming-Over-Washing-Machines/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[ In our Queens co-op (containing 68 apartments) we do not allow laundry washing
 machines. A few owners have had them from years back, others have recently
 renovated and installed washing machines in their apartments.

					  <link>http://cooperator.com/articles/1748/1/QampA-Co-op-Rules-v-Sponsor-Units/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[Our building is 75 percent shareholders, 25 percent sponsor units (renters). The
 sponsor units fall under the Emergency Tenant Protection Act (ETPA) of 1974. My
 question is, doesn&#8217;t everyone in the building, shareholders and sponsor units alike have to adhere
 to the house rules and any fair and reasonable decision of the Board of
 Directors? Do you have any case law that addresses this issue, as well as
 statutory law?  ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[ I would like to know if the board has the right to alter minutes given to the
 shareholders, because there were questions raised at meetings that they would
 not answer and are left out of the minutes. Are there any regulations governing
 meeting minutes?  ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[ For estate planning purposes, my wife is the sole owner of our co-op. A recent
 change to the New York State law permits assets to be transferred on death by
 use of a &#8220;Transfer on Death&#8221; designation. Like a trust, this avoids probate, but incurs little or no cost to
 prepare. Can I use such a method to transfer co-op ownership?

					  <link>http://cooperator.com/articles/1438/1/Leak-Lessons-A-True-Story/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[Leaks happen all the time. American Leak Detection, a nationwide company (unrelated to the Scooter Libby trial), claims to have discovered 1.4 million leaks last year alone&#8212;and that's just one company! Common as they are, leaks can cause quite a bit of damage. The drip-drip of a leaky bathtub is literally the sound of money going down the drain&#8212;and if the leak is hidden deep in a wall somewhere, the damage can worsen and spread for months before you even know there's a problem.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Want to know what it is like to live in the Murray Hill section of Manhattan&#8212;that strip between Madison and Third avenues that runs roughly between 29th and 38th streets? You could ask someone who lives there, but be forewarned&#8212;the answer you get will depend on who you talk to. ]]></description>

					  <link>http://cooperator.com/articles/1415/1/Safety-in-Numbers/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[Over the past five years, we've driven crime down to historic lows. And as our city's crime rate continues to fall, positive economic indicators continue to rise. One of greatest signs of confidence in our city's future is the record number of construction projects going on throughout the five boroughs. This is great news for the more than 100,000 men and women who work in the building trades. But, as the number of construction projects has increased, so too, unfortunately, has the number of construction accidents. Although public safety is at an all-time high, we can and must do more to ensure worker safety. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[As the cycle of work from the most recent Local Law 11 deadline expires, buildings inevitably must resolve issues over fees they owe to the contractors who did the work, completion of the work and questions about the quality of the work itself. There may also be open issues to resolve with certain shareholders or unit owners claiming damages from the Local Law 11-related work. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[In an age of tinted-glass curtain walls, floor-to-ceiling windows, and ubiquitous vinyl siding, it may be comforting to know that the granddaddy of all building materials&#8212;natural stone, quarried from the earth and hewn by hand in some cases&#8212;is still very much relevant to building construction and architecture. ]]></description>
