Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Chris V.):

VANESSA, to get real estate tax figures from MC, connect with the FINANCIAL SERVICES OFFICE. if they're attached to the maintenance fees, they MUST tell you what portion is for taxes and YOU MUST request that they mail you a tax bill for the amount of the taxes. REMINDER, THE TAX IS DEDUCTIBLE ON YOUR INCOME TAX RETURN, BOTH STATE (according to your residence state) AND FEDERAL. unless you rent your shares, maintenance fees are NOT DEDUCTIBLE.

good luck..............TO ALL OF US!!!!!!

Paying maintenance fees: It's my understanding that they cannot hold you to the contract conditions, if they have broken the contract. That is certainly the case with TMC. Why should we owners have to continually pay into TMC and not get what we were promised. Many of us have already paid for units in full and only have the main tenance fees, but with them being so high already and increasing in leaps and bounds each year... there is no end in sight. They have made how many revisions to the contracts? They don't even know how many revisions according to the court records. This was stated in one of the documents from the proceedings. they lost count of how many they had actually made. I see no reason for continuing to pay them. The NY taxes may be a different story, but NY state taxes are included in the fees correct? How can you know how much is maintenance and how much is tax for NYC & NYS.
