Many residents of co-op and condo buildings know all too well that one troublesome inhabitant can poison the well of communal life. Co-op boards are well-equipped with legal remedies to address the issue of chronic misconduct by tenant-shareholders, their guests or sub-tenants. Condo boards, however, are relatively powerless in this respect. This article introduces a new antidote which under proper circumstances could empower condo boards in their dealings with recalcitrant residents.
Lives necessarily become interdependent when hundreds of people reside under a common roof and share facilities day in and day out in a self-contained building. This social intimacy requires that each individual resident lives within a framework of established rules and regulations. In such a closely knit community, any departure from these social norms by even one resident adversely affects every other resident’s quality of life. Such a disruption inevitably upsets the community’s equilibrium and results in discord throughout the building.
