Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Paul D.):

I also received a call from Sal. We discussed the same issues. I questioned him not only on the high maintenance fees but also the fact that the board is stacked in the owner's favor. Sal acknowledged that Eichner appoints 4 of the 7 members and he did not know when or whether Eichner would ever relinquish control of the board. Nevertheless, he assured me that he (Sal) is working for all the owners and that I should call him directly if I ever have a concern. As I told him, my main concern is being able to get rid of the week I own so that I am not further encumbered with increasingly high maintenance fees. (I tried to do so last year but I couldn't even give it away when the other person found out about the litigation.) Anyhow, Sal promised to send me a letter about our conversation. I received what was clearly a form letter from him a week later. Anyone else who speaks to him will probably get the same letter. I suspect he is going down the list, talking to as many owners as he can, disgruntled or otherwise, and trying to pacify us.
