We have a meeting this week regarding the vote on an issue that I can’t seem to wrap my head around. It is a small co-op and an older gentleman who lives on the first floor raised his ceiling to exposed the beams in his apartment. The results are beautiful and there are other apartment owners that want to do the same. members of the board want to charge for owners who expose this area because they claim that the owners are now occupying more area space. They taking common area between apartments and now claiming it as their own. Any thoughts? How would you even figure out a formula for this? Any help would be much appreciated.
