					  <link>http://njcooperator.com/articles/471/1/QampA-Shareholders-in-Arrears/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[ I am a condo board member and we are dealing with a shareholder who is
 consistently behind in his arrears. We are considering filing a lien against
 the delinquent owner and foreclosing. Is this our best course of action? ]]></description>

					  <link>http://njcooperator.com/articles/470/1/QampA-Community-Not-as-Advertised/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[ I purchased a home that was incorporated per the public offering statement as an
 age-55-restricted and gated adult community. It currently is neither an
 age-restricted community (as stipulated in the federal law), nor a gated
 community, as advertised in the public offering statement. This issue has
 already been brought to the attention of our board to no avail. What can I do? ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[ I live in an adult community that is putting in a new card access system. Our
 community allows 19-year-olds and above to live here also. The board is going
 to be allowing two access cards per home, then the homeowner must purchase
 cards for their additional legal resident living in their home at $100 per
 person. Is this not discrimination? Does it come under the Fair Housing Act? ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[ Budget time has come and gone, the area has had rain and snow, your maintenance
 budget has already been exhausted due to roof leaks. What do you do? You scramble to get quotes for roof replacements, have an
 association meeting to try to explain to the community why you need to do a
 special assessment or secure a loan for a capital improvement project. In the end, you hope that the project and financing are approved.

					  <title><![CDATA[Building From the Ground Up]]></title>
					  <link>http://njcooperator.com/articles/467/1/Building-From-the-Ground-Up/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[ Building a successful enterprise from the ground up requires dedication and
 commitment from dozens, if not hundreds, of people. That&rsquo;s certainly the case with the creation of a new co-op or condo community,
 entities that are just as much about home as they are about business. The first
 few months or years of a condo&rsquo;s existence can be especially turbulent as it involves the establishment of a
 board and the transition from being owner/resident-controlled. Sometimes that
 transitional road can be bumpy&mdash;especially if those two parties fail to see eye to eye. With the right
 combination of planning, communication and trust, however, the birth of a board
 can be a lot less painful than expected, something sure to be a relief to
 anyone and everyone involved.

					  <description><![CDATA[The co-op we owned was a huge brick pre-war building. Three of its sides were either attached to other buildings or sealed off by high barbed-wire fencing. The only way into the building was the front door, and that meant going through the lobby&#8212;right past the super&#8217;s apartment. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Common areas are among the most heavily trafficked places in your building or community, so it&#8217;s no surprise that these areas are prone to a great deal of damage and wear-and-tear over time. But regular upkeep, scheduled maintenance and proper cleaning will help ensure that common areas don&#8217;t become dingy, dirty or even possibly hazardous to people&#8217;s health. ]]></description>

					  <link>http://njcooperator.com/articles/463/1/A-Flushing-Concern/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[Few things illustrate the fragility of modern civilization more clearly than plumbing problems. A broken pipe, a backed-up toilet, a flooded bathroom&#8212;any one of these can quickly go from annoyance to emergency, and the longer a plumbing problem lingers, the more unsavory the situation gets. Without efficient, functional plumbing, a densely populated urban or suburban area can go from metropolitan to Medieval in very short order. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Technological applications to residential building life are becoming more prevalent, and in some cases, they&#8217;ve even become more affordable than in the past. An &#8220;intelligent&#8221; building is able to monitor its environmental, mechanical, and lighting (among other) systems, through a computerized network of electronic devices. Maintenance, communications, security, and other residential building functions are now being handled by these new systems, whose upgraded operations are helping building personnel do their jobs more effectively. ]]></description>
