Q. Last week one of the windows in my co-op apartment literally fell onto my floor. These are cheap double-hung windows installed by the sponsor about 15-20 years ago. It left a deep scratch on the floor, but fortunately, my 2-year-old was in the other room. I've since learned that there have been two similar incidents in the building over the past couple of years.
The co-op is going to repair the window, but I think they all need to be replaced as they're clearly defective.
Q. I'm moving to London for work and planning to leave my 19-year-old son in my co-op apartment. He will take in a roommate to cover some of the costs. Do I need to get the approval of the co-op board?
A. You might, say our experts. The answer depends on what your proprietary lease says.
Normally on BrickUnderground, we focus on the consumer side of real estate. With Mother's Day almost upon us, however, we thought we'd share a rather moving post by the daughter of a real estate agent we wish we could have had the pleasure of meeting.
