内容説明
A user friendly guide to the art of living in a co-op and condo
Book Description
Sylvia Shapiro, a lawyer and board president of a major Manhattan apartment building, has written what will become required reading for anyone buying or selling an apartment, or curious about entering the fray of the co-op and condo market. Shapiro answers all the questions apartment dwellers are afraid of asking the board, broker, lawyer, or accountant--and she does so without talking down or a steep hourly fee. Included are such topics as: Is the building right for you? How can you make the approval process go as smoothly as possible? What should you do if the board rejects you? And what if you get in? Can you keep your dog? How much power does the board really have?
Having lived in her building for more than a decade in blissful ignorance of how it was run, Shapiro awoke one morning to discover that her building was going co-op and she intended to buy. Intent on protecting her investment, she took on the mantle of board president and set about figuring out how the system worked. Seven years and many trials by fire later, Shapiro presents her hard-earned knowledge in this neat little tome. Apartment dwellers will come to swear by it.

How to deal with Worst Possible Scenarios
2002/7/30
Amazonが確認した購入
First, you should know that this book is entirely focused on the customs, rules, experiences and laws associated with the purchase of residential real estate in New York City. If you are looking elsewhere, this book may not be helpful because the byzantine nature of the process in our town is - reportedly - unique. So if you live in the provinces, get another primer.
That said, if you are interested in buying an apartment in New York City, this book is indispensible. It covers every step of the process from the abstract decision to purchase (condo, coop, or "condop") to issues that arise after you're already in your New York City dream home, with sage advice, humor, and insider tips (the author is/was an attorney and coop board president in Manhattan). Also the book is easy to read, easy to skip around in to find the information you need, and full of detailed advice on securing your dream home.
The only caution I have is that, if you are buying, this book may cause you unnecessary worry. Ms. Shapiro lays out all the possible snags and offers solutions. My experience - I bought a coop in Manhattan recently - is that the process was not as dotted with landmines I had feared (the board didn't interview my cat, for instance, although evidently some boards make an attempt). My guess is that if you're in the market for a multi-million dollar home, if you are planning buying several apartments and knocking out walls to create a jumbo pallazo, etc., you should definitely take every page and study it thoroughly. If you are middle-class (by NYC standards) and are perhaps more in the market for Murray Hill than Park Avenue, it's likely that your experience will be easier than many described in this book, so you can reasonably hope that most of these things won't happen to you. But knowing the worst that can happen and marshalling all your potential remedies before it does is extremely stress-relieving (you heard me right), and this book will help anyone with that.

A necessity if you want to buy in Manhattan...
2000/3/23
Sylvia Shapiro does a great job outlining the basics of Co-Ops, how they are structured, and how they differ from Condos. As someone looking to buy a Co-Op in Manhattan, I found this book a necessary resource before going to a broker. Shapiro does a great job of detailing the inside goings on of a Co-Op board and how they relate to every facet of a building, including the board approval process. The Co-Op Bible is very thorough, and I recommend it for anyone considering buying into a NYC Co-Op.

Great book for New Yorkers!
1999/6/18
This was an incredible read & is very helpful in my search for a new home. Much of the book is based on her experience in New York, so I am not sure how applicable this will be for people who don't live in New York. Even the list of important numbers at the end of the book were all NYC numbers.
It does contain a lot of practical advice & finally explained to me how Co-op boards work in a clear, understandable (& honest!) way.
