In Part 1 of Dealing With Problem Condo Owners, we looked at how condo boards can manage several types of objectionable conduct, including unauthorized renovations, transient visitors and certain types of home-based businesses.

Since launching BrickUnderground a couple of years ago--and pretty much forever before that--former print journalist yours truly has mostly focused on the written word. Then I met VYou.com, a highly entertaining and eccentric new video Q&A thingamajig that has enabled me to address questions about some vital NYC real estate issues--like whether my super knows anything about me that my husband does not (above) or whether I can draw an aardvark in a post-apocalyptic setting. (Nope.)

Hey co-op and condo owners & board members: Tomorrow is the annual Co-op and Condo Expo. Sponsored by co-op and condo monthly The Cooperator, it's all happening at the Hilton New York (53rd & Sixth Ave.) from 9 am to 5 pm.  Over 270 exhibitors will be there (think laundry room vendors, pest control, window replacement companies) along with booths of experts to answer your on-the-spot questions.

After blogging anonymously on BrickUnderground for over a year now, our very own Openthedoor-man has begun musing aloud on Twitter (@openthatdoorman).  Some excerpts:

On the heels of the New York Post's report this weekend that the Upper West Side's upscale Reebok Sports Club is battling bed bugs, and that some members are afraid to leave their clothes in the locker room, we asked bed bug expert Gil Bloom how worried other city dwellers should be about picking up more than a six-pack at the gym.

His response was somewhat reassuring.
