How does this work



Individual Apartments are bought or sold outright; there is no involvement by the Association in transactions between buyers and sellers.



Cooperative Apartment Purchases do not qualify for financing.



The Cooperative Association-- made up only of the 14 members (individual apartment owners), owns the Cooperative Complex outright, and is self-governing. There are 14 votes for all issues, one per household. All rules, current or changing (other than government requirements for the Organization), determined by member vote.



Once apartments are purchased, there is no further cost except the monthly maintenance dues, which are set by the members. The maintenance payments shared by all members pays for all maintenance, repairs, upkeep, replacements, and all costs needed for building and grounds, plus taxes, insurance, legal fees.



Apartments cannot be purchased as investment property to rent out. NO renters are allowed. These units are meant to be used by their owners.



There is no requirement for time (full-time, part-time, seasonal, second home, etc) members must spend residing in their units. This is a matter of preference, and differs with life situation.



Members are Stockholders. Transfer of Stocks will be done, upon completed transactions. Stockholders can pass the designated apartment ownership (which is the Stockholders share in the Cooperative), down generationally, or can designate other beneficiary. Other names can be added to the Stock Certificate, in the event another person becomes a joint owner, with the current owner, in the future (must be approved by Association).



All potential new owners/ members are required to have excellent credit history. Approval by the Association is required to become owners/members.



Current monthly maintenance fees are $250.00, as voted by members.



Thank you for your interest!
