New York City My NYC co-op building has billed me for the replacement of a water shut-off valve (within the wall). The Proprietary Lease states "That the Lessee shall keep the interior of said apartment an all plumbing and the private elevator, if any, belonging thereto in good repair"
The management office states that because the shut-off valve provides water only to my unit, it is my responsibility. I believe that getting water, electricity and heat, is general services expected in a Proprietary Lease. The super hired the plumber, signed-off on the work, took a photo of the shut-off valve area and kept the piece that was damaged. I feel that the co-op does not have the right to spend my money, to take photos or keep parts, without my expressed authorization and permission, which was not given, but, I was home at the time of the work. What legal recourse do I have? |

This definitely should be a building management responsibility.
Unfortunately for me I have an old aparment and the heating pipes and the hot and cold water runs on the exterior of the wall. Ideally this should be common services, but I'm questioning the management, since these pipes also supply water and heating to other aparments and should be common maintenance. Does anybody know who should be responsible to pay for leaks and maintenance to heat pipe and water pipes that run outside the wall. thank you |
