Management Company Recommendations for Coop


I’m in a 20 unit Co-op, and wondering if anyone has any good management companies to recommend. We’ve been working with one for a few years now, and while they’ve been ok overall, we’ve been through 4 managers in 4 months (it’s not us I swear!), and seems like something weird is going on inside the company.

Anyone had any good experiences, or are management companies generally terrible?

Hot Roof!


I live on the top floor of a 20-unit coop, and my apartment gets blazing hot during the summer months. It’s not uncommon to come home to a 95 degree room.

I do have a lot of windows that get good sun in the AM, and have solar shades that seem to help out a little bit.

But obviously the roof is the main culprit, and wondering if there is any easy insulation solutions anyone knows about. It’s probably out of the question to do any major install, but in my dreams there’s a cheap tarp-like insulation material that can be rolled out on the existing roof, and can be easily rolled up and removed when the heat dies down in september.

Am I doomed to cook to death?
