We had a fascinating conversation recently with Roberta Axelrod, who sits on 10 New York City-area co-op and condo boards in her role as a sponsor’s representative for Time Equities.
As a close-up observer of board politics for around three decades, she notes that the most successful boards make a habit of deciding issues through consensus.
“Some boards get into having alliances, with one group voting as a bloc, and ultimately when that happens the board loses and the building loses,” she says.
Okay, so we were a little disappointed when we asked for an exclusive look at “Gettin’ a little on the side, or not”—another chapter in Openthedoor-man’s unpublished memoirs—and discovered it was actually about the tipping habits of residents.
But being perpetually insecure about our own tipping smarts, we switched gears and dove into the catalogue of gratuity offenses suffered by the doorman and his colleagues.
