Hudson Troy Towers Apartment Corporation
House Rules & Regulations

The following information has been excerpted from the official HTTAC House Rules & Regulations document. While this representation is substantially current, the Rules are amended from time to time by the Board of Directors. When you apply to rent or purchase in the coop, a then-current printed copy will be provided to you.

PREAMBLE

In order to provide for the harmonious enjoyment of our building, its facilities and services, the House Rules and Regulations provide some structure for the interaction among residents.

This is a cooperative governed by state law and by the Certificate of Incorporation, the Proprietary Lease, the Bylaws, and the House Rules of the Hudson Troy Towers Apartment Corp., with which each and every shareholder and resident is bound to comply. Each of the shareholders has a lease to his or her individual apartment. However, the stairways, halls, laundry rooms, elevators, garage and other public areas of the building are owned by the Corporation for the common enjoyment of all shareholders and legal residents of the building.

Therefore, compliance with these rules is an obligation of each resident, his/her family and guests. These rules are designed to maintain the highest standards of conduct in the use of all apartments, common areas and other facilities of the building, so as to minimize the possibility of frictions developing among the relatively large numbers of people occupying the limited space of our building, to promote maintenance of the property and property values for all shareholders, and to promote the maximum enjoyment of the building and its facilities.

These rules are subject to amendment by the Board of Directors, and any amendment will be disseminated to all shareholders and all residents of the building. We ask that all residents and shareholders take the time to acquaint themselves with these rules.

House Rules and Regulations

The following House Rules and Regulations have been approved and adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to Paragraph 13 of the Proprietary Lease and are to be observed by all shareholders, tenants, residents, their families, guests and employees. Breach of a House Rule may be deemed a default under the Proprietary Lease and may result in penalties or other enforcement action.

There is no first warning associated with violations to these Rules and Regulations. Any legal fees incurred by the Corporation in conjunction with the enforcement of these Rules and Regulations shall be at the shareholder’s expense. Ignorance of the rules, or failure to have read the rules, is not a legitimate excuse.

Administrative Charges

1. Shareholders/residents who are in violation of the House Rules will be subject to the Administrative Charges in paragraph 80, or in other applicable paragraphs as outlined in these House Rules and Regulations.

Advertising & Sales in the Building

2. Advertising is available to all residents as follows:

2.2. Residents advertising on the bulletin boards must have the notice classified and approved by the Property Manager prior to placing it on the boards. A resident may advertise on the bulletin boards at no charge for charitable events and the sale of a second hand item. All other advertising is subject to the charges outlined in paragraph 2.1 above.

2.3. Flyers and bulletins will only be allowed to stay on the bulletin boards for a maximum of two weeks.

60. If the resident loses his/her Smart Card, a new card will cost $25.

SERVICE COMPLAINTS

61. We live in a building serviced by employees who belong to unions. Although any person has a right to hear his accusers, this is even more so the case when a union employee is involved. In order to take disciplinary action against any employee, the Corporation must receive a written complaint about that employee.

62. Any complaints about either service or specific employees should be registered with the Property Manager. Should you not be satisfied with the action taken by the Property Manager, the matter may then be appealed in writing to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may be contacted by leaving a letter with the doorman addressed to the Secretary of the Board.

63. Each complaint will be fully investigated. When a complaint against a particular employee is involved, the employee will be given an opportunity to give his/her side of the story. Where disciplinary action is warranted, the employee will be reprimanded (or for certain types of actions, the employee may be terminated), and a written record of the disciplinary action and its cause will be put in his work record.

64. Please note that the employees of the building take their instructions from the Superintendent, the Property Manager and the Board of Directors. The Board is the final authority on all matters of policy governing the operation of the building and its staff.

Any complaints should be made to the Superintendent or the Property Manager, not to the employee involved.

Shareholder’s Annual File Review

65. The shareholder may contact the Property Manager on the anniversaries of his or her approval dates to provide the opportunity to review the contents of his or her file.

Homeowner’s insurance is mandatory.

Storage Rooms

66. The storage rooms on each floor are designed to store small items. All items must be placed in a box or container. Each box must be properly labeled with the name and apartment number of the shareholder. These storage rooms are to be shared equitably by the shareholders on that floor.

Repeated violations of these rules show disregard for other shareholders, cause the Corporation unnecessary expense and impede management of the building by unnecessarily consuming Management's time and effort. Repeated violations will result in enforcement action, which may include termination of the applicable Proprietary Lease and cancellation of Shares in the Corporation.

No Conflict:

82. These House Rules are not intended to conflict with the terms and provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, the By-Laws or the Proprietary Lease. In the event there is any such conflict, the Certificate of Incorporation, the By-Laws and/or the Proprietary Lease, as the case may be, shall prevail and be given effect. To the extent these House Rules address any of the subject matter already covered by the Certificate of Incorporation, the By-Laws or the Proprietary Lease, they are intended only to supplement those provisions to the extent permitted by law.
