Co-op City Times / May 21, 2022 7 Public Safety Reminds Cooperators to be Good Neighbors by Being Respectful to Fellow Shareholders

BY LIEUTENANT PAM APOLLO

Co-op City is the world’s largest housing cooperative with approximately 50,000 residents living within its 35 buildings. Co-op City has provided a high quality of life for residents for more than 50 years. Being a good neighbor has been the key to the unique experience of living in Co-op City. Covid-19 restrictions have entered their 26th month, which can add to the stress of living in a multi-family dwelling. Now, it is even more important to be a good neighbor and respect fellow cooperators. Being a good neighbor means being thoughtful and looking out for the well-being of fellow cooperators. This is especially important during the holiday season.

The Covid-19 pandemic has affected cooperators in different ways throughout the community. Some cooperators may now be working from home. Families with children may have children participating in remote learning from time to time. Other cooperators may find themselves furloughed or working reduced hours. All of these situations result in people being at home during hours where they would normally be out of the residence.

We remind cooperators to be respectful of their neighbors when it pertains to noise. If you are at home during the day with children, please try to make sure there is not a great deal of noise, which can be causing a disturbance to your neighbors. Be especially mindful of noise, which radiates to other apartments in different directions. Jumping, hammering, banging, slamming doors, bouncing balls, dropping large items, stomping, walking with heavy shoes, etc. It might be a good idea to consider installing carpet or placing rugs in high traffic areas. Teach your children to be respectful of neighbors.

First responders, healthcare workers and other essential workers may be working different hours and even overtime hours. These individuals may find themselves home and needing to sleep during different hours than normal. Other cooperators may be home with an illness or due to having to quarantine. All

Public cooperators are reminded that they should have heightened awareness of the Safety Report different situations their neighbors may be facing. If you are a cooperator who recently started hearing noise at hours that were normally quiet, try to understand that this may just be a temporary situation. high quality of life for residents for more than 50 years. Some coping strategies include playing music which you find soothing, perhaps Being a good neighbor has been the key to the unique with noise cancelling headphones; a white noise machine which has pleasant experience of living in Co-op City.

In some cases, we cannot change a situation but we can change stress of living in a multi-family dwelling. Now, it is even our response to the situation. This is a healthy mindset to overcome stress. more important to be a good neighbor and respect fellow In the event that noise is unreasonable, call Public Safety. The courts have cooperators. Being a good neighbor means being thoughtful determined that there must be some allowance for normal living noises in and looking out for the well-being of fellow cooperators. This is multi-family dwellings. The expectation of absolute silence in a residential setting is not realistic. Based on this fact, agents of the corporation cannot issue summons unless the noise witnessed is, in fact, unreasonable for the time of day. Between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., the threshold for unreasonable noise is lower than during the afternoon and evening hours. Contact your Cooperator Service Office (CSO) if you are experiencing a chronic noise complaint. You will need to obtain a noise packet. Call your CSO office at (718) 320-3300, follow the prompts for your section. The noise packet is for unreasonable noise, not for normal living noises. The exception to the good neighbor rule is DO NOT HOLD THE DOOR OPEN FOR ANYONE YOU DO NOT RECOGNIZE. This is true for the buildings and the garages and is for everyone’s safety. Never take this personally. Some people are better at recognizing neighbors than others. Masks can make recognizing your friends and neighbors even more challenging. It is important that all residents care and use their key or ring the intercom. Many of the crimes that occur within the building have the perpetrator let into the building by a well-meaning cooperator. Please share this information with all members of your household. Thefts of catalytic convertors continue to occur nationwide. The Public Safety Department has taken reports of these thefts from vehicles most often when parked on the street and occasionally in the garages. Thieves must cut the device, which is part of the exhaust system, out from underneath the car. If you observe this type of activity, call 9-1-1 and Public Safety immediately at (718) 671-3050. Please be vigilant and look out for your neighbors. Observant cooperators can help us to catch these criminals. Online shopping can be a safer option to in-person shopping but it is not without risk of theft. There have been a significant increase in reports of stolen packages in Co-op City, New York City, and, in fact, it is an expanding national issue. Public Safety patrols the buildings but Co-op City is a large complex with many buildings with many floors and hallways. It is best if you can minimize the

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy.

These monies can only be used for this purpose and will be put into a reserve fund account.

The interest rate we will be paying will be 3.08% from the previous 2.9% which increases our debt burden (what we pay to the mortgage company). HUD (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban with $55 million secured by the state and $15 million by the City of New York.

We had a third party engineering company requested by HUD to make an assessment of the entire property which required visits to shareholders’

There is exterior work that needs to be done As the largest affordable housing cooperative in in various garages, upgrades to public restrooms, we need elevators in our garages, sidewalk repairs, upgrading the crawl spaces in buildings, electrical work, updating apartment breaker panels, repairing wall leaks, pipe upgrades, clear any Department of Buildings concerns, pump drains, cracks, water ergy-saving strategies), just to name some of the is irresponsible. I have been in Co-op City for no carrying charge increase not understanding that when you do not invest in your property, you tend to pay much more in the succeeding years due to lack of repairs. We had to deal with mismanagement in those years and we have been picking up the pieces of what is needed to continue to upgrade our homes while keeping our homes affordable. We are still dealing with high insurance rates that we must pay, the high energy cost of gas and oil that translates to about $9.4 million, and the $18 million water bill factor that we are dealing with.

I hope you had the opportunity to read Bob Klehammer, our Executive General Manager’s report, where he provided strong details as to why the going to be to the Operating Budget.

I will not sugar coat the immense expense we high-rise buildings, and seven clusters of townhouses. Co-op City is 50+ years old and we must continue to stay on top of the repairs of our homes in the years to come.

amount of time your package spends in the hallway. You can request delivery with a signature from certain delivery methods. Ask a trusted neighbor to be on the lookout for your packages and do the same for them. Try to order items to arrive at a time when someone will be home. Both Amazon and UPS have secure drop boxes in Co-op City and the surrounding areas. Some companies even allow customers to select one day of the week to receive all of their deliveries on a selected day.

The Co-op City Department of Public Safety is asking cooperators to continue to social distance and wear masks or face coverings in the indoor public areas of the buildings including the lobbies, hallways, elevators and laundry rooms. Wearing a mask is for your safety and the safety of your neighbors and family members. People should avoid gathering in large groups. Hand washing, the use of hand sanitizer and not touching your face are other strategies to reduce the spread of Covid-19 and other illnesses. Speak to your doctor and see if a vaccine or booster is right for you and your family members when eligible. Please follow the latest information provided by the CDC and the New York City Department of Health for the latest information and recommendations on health and safety during the Coronavirus pandemic. Be a smart cooperator. Cooperators should never confront other cooperators who are not wearing a mask. Mask wearing is a very sensitive issue to many residents. All age groups have a valid concern over their neighbors taking every possible precaution to reduce transmission of COVID 19. We must all be especially mindful that Co-op City has a substantial senior community that is particularly susceptible to the pandemic. Public Safety frequently responds to complaints and concerns from cooperators on both sides of the mask-wearing conundrum. Please wear a mask when entering or remaining in any public space within Co-op City. Co-op City continues to maintain a mask mandate for indoor locations for the health and safety of shareholders and visitors to the community. Due to recent spikes in infection rates the CDC and NYC Board of Health still recommend wearing a mask even if vaccinated. Be Co-op City Strong and wear your mask.

A mask must be worn when you are in the common areas of Co-op City’s residential buildings, garages and community centers.

If You See Something, Say Something! Working Together To Keep Co-op City Safe!

• Report any unusual or suspicious persons or activity to CCPD. • Do not allow strangers access to your building by holding the door. • Be aware of work being done in your building and when contractors are allowed to be on the premises. • Never leave your car or apartment door unlocked. • Do not leave packages or electronics in your car where they are visible. • Remember: You can make anonymous calls to CCPD.

Director’s Viewpoint – Kevin Lambright, Assistant Treasurer

Hello, my neighbors, partners and friends. It’s been a while since I have been able to take this time to write to you. I have always been the one to acknowledge that writing gibberish just to greet you to say hi and lollygag with you about things you are already aware of and can easily see for yourself is counterproductive.

As if most of you don’t already know, I have been busy negotiating situations and probabilities. Searching for solutions and remedies. I am close to revealing some of them. However, I do want to make sure they are solid and proven before I repose them to the Board and shareholders. I say “repose” because not everyone will see your vision and may attempt to shut it down before allowing you to present properly. I’ve learned a lot being on this Board and by watching previous Boards. Never make the same mistake twice and know your audience. I, along with some very intelligent members of our community and Management, have been able to accomplish some great things that have already been nationally published. There is so much more coming and I am excited for our future!

Who Did That?

I have al- want to step on someone’s toes, I abstain so I don’t look bad. I can’t be that person who is always willing to bypass the system in place so I can give one person the hook-up. You see, everyone should get the hook-up, not just one individual because they know someone. If you are a shareholder that is your reason for getting the hook-up. That is why you are here in Co-op City; you have earned the right to be respected. You deserve to get fast and adequate services. You deserve to be in the position to appreciate affordable housing. You deserve to feel safe in your community – because that is what you pay for. That is what you worked all your life to attain. Co-op City should be your arrival. It should be your euphoric destination after working hard for many years. I want you to know that it can be that. It can be all of that. These things should be automatic.

If you are reading this, sadly, we probably did not make quorum. We should all be ashamed that we have not yet learned how to conquer our own destiny. Repeat in your own mind: I am not irresponsible!

I understand that in order for great things to move forward, I have to vote intelligently as Kevin
