					  <link>http://cooperator.com/articles/1794/1/QampA-Unwarranted-Attorney-Fees/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[ I am living in a condo whereby I am enduring loud noise by two rude neighbors. I
 had to hire my own private lawyer. The condo board has their own lawyer and
 their lawyer responded to my lawyer. I recently received a bill from the condo
 charging me for the services of their lawyer. Would you please advise if I need
 to pay this bill and where I can file my own complaint?  ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[How do we start a reserve fund? Where does the money come from? What can we or
&nbsp;can&rsquo;t we use the money for? Must we get approval from shareholders/owners in order
&nbsp;to spend the reserve fund?&nbsp; ]]></description>

					  <link>http://cooperator.com/articles/1791/1/QampA-New-Management-No-Minutes/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;In years past, unit owners were given copies of the minutes of the annual
&nbsp;meeting. A new management company was engaged and this practice stopped. Now,
&nbsp;when I have requested the minutes of the annual meeting, I have been told that
&nbsp;these minutes are not given out to unit owners anymore. Additionally, I was
&nbsp;told that I could go to the management office and &ldquo;view&rdquo; them. I believe that, I, a unit owner, am entitled to a copy of the minutes of
&nbsp;the annual meeting. Every owner, I believe, should have copies of these
&nbsp;minutes, as before. Is there a law governing this?&nbsp; ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[ I live in a condominium and we just had our annual election. Each year, new
 people run for the board, but the existing board members solicit proxies in
 order to remain on the board. As a result, five &#8220;old-timers&#8221; seem to make all the decisions on our nine-member board.

					  <link>http://cooperator.com/articles/1542/1/How-to-Care-for-at-Risk-Residents/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[New York City is famous (perhaps infamous) for its residents' philosophy of minding their own business&#8212;dress as a giant chicken, sport a revolutionary haircut&#8230;nobody minds. This attitude is great if you're a young person expressing your inner bohemian&#8212;but somewhat less great if you're an elderly person or someone with a mental or physical handicap, or a kid with working parents taking care of younger siblings. Who looks out for these folks when there is a fire, power outage or other emergency? ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Rego Park, Queens is a neighborhood that has seen many changes over the years. Once considered the suburbs, it is now a bustling community home to many families, a diverse population of immigrants from all over the world and a large number of senior citizens.
