HOA president demands condo manager turn on the heating for all units, despite tenants claiming it's too hot, resulting in dispute when manager complies: ‘Tenants were furious’

One of the biggest disadvantages of living in an apartment building, especially if it's a part of the HOA, is that many decisions regarding your own living situation get made for you.

Exactly like what happened in the story below. In this NYC condo, there is central heating for all of the units in the building. The condo manager turns the heating on when the weather gets cold enough, and then turns it off when spring comes. The tenants all agreed that instead of turning the heating on on October 1st, like it is stated in NYC law, they prefer to wait until the days actually get colder. However, this joint decision did not sit well with the HOA president, who decided to ignore the tenants' wishes and demand that the condo manager turn on the heating on October 1st anyway.

The manager complied, and in the latest tenants meeting, this decision led to quite a dispute when everyone found out about their HOA president's doings. She just took the decision right out of their hands regarding something that happens in all of their homes, and that was not okay.

Scroll down to read what happened later in this meeting and how the tenants taught their HOA president a lesson for going behind their backs.
