Switching property managers is a big deal for any co-op or condo building, but it sometimes has to be done.
Q. What's the worst that could happen if I install a washer-dryer without permission? If the co-op board finds out, I'll just have to remove it, right?
A. Whether you're in a co-op, condo or rental apartment, you can be forced to remove the unauthorized washer-dryer, says Roberta Axelrod, a real estate broker and asset manager at Time Equities who sits on many boards as a sponsor's representative.
Q. Assuming all other things are equal (condition, light, view, etc), how much more should I price my condo than the most recent apartment that sold in my line and closed in October?
A. There's no one-size-fits all formula, say our experts, but there are a number of sound strategies for arriving at a reasonable price.
Q. The adult son of a neighbor in my co-op building recently moved in with her. He is a registered sex offender who was convicted of molesting young boys eight years ago. This is a family building with lots of children. We are all extremely concerned about having him living in our midst.
What are our rights? Can the co-op force him to move out?
