Kunyaka ophelileyo, uJudith Gimbel Mendelsund, utitshala osele esidla umhlala-phantsi, watyikitya isivumelwano sokuthenga ikhondomu enamagumbi amabini e-14 East 96thIsitrato semali eyi-1.8 yezigidi zeerandi, elona xabiso liphezulu lakha lahlawulwa kweso sakhiwo. Kwiveki phambi komhla wokuvalwa ekuvunyelwene ngawo, ileta eqinisekisiweyo evela kuPeter Cohen, usihlalo webhodi ye-condo wafika e-ofisini yegqwetha likaNks. Gimbel Mendelsund, imazisa ukuba ibhodi ikhethe ukusebenzisa ilungelo layo lokwala-kwaye izakuthenga indlu acinga ukuba uza kuyithenga. kwiveki elandelayo.
NgeNkosk. Gimbel Mendelsund, ukuphulukana nendlu ye-condo kwakuyintlekele ikakhulu kuba esithi onke amalungiselelo enziwe ukuthengisa Intsebenziswano yakhe eGramercy Park kusuku olungaphambi kokuvalwa kwakhe okucwangcisiweyo kwi-condo kwaye ayinakutshintshwa. Ngenxa yoko, wanyanzelwa ukuba ayigcine ifanitshala; Hlala nomama wakhe; hlawula imali eninzi; kwaye uqale ukukhangela kwakhona kwakhona indawo yokuhlala.
Abathengi baqinisekisiwe ukuba zininzi izibonelelo zokuthenga i-condo ngaphezulu kwe-co-op-brokers zikhankanya amandla okubambisa, ukunqongophala kwemvume yebhodi kunye nokubanakho kwemali-mboleko enkulu- kodwa abantu abaninzi banokungaqhelani nelungelo lekondomu ukwala kokuqala. Nangona kunqabile ukuzilolonga, kubhalwe kwimithetho yedolophu phantse kuzo zonke iikhondomu kwaye kunika iibhodi ixesha elilinganiselweyo- zihlala zingama-20 ukuya kwiintsuku ezingama-30 ukusuka xa kutyikityiwe ikhontrakthi- ukutshatisa ixabiso ekuvunyelwene ngalo kwintengiso ize nezayo iimali zokuthenga indlu ekuthethwa ngayo.
Izizathu zokuba ibhodi ifune ukusebenzisa eli lungelo kukuba umthengi onokubakho anganakho unerekhodi yolwaphulo-mthetho olunobundlobongela; Indlu kufuneka ithengiswe ingaphantsi kwexabiso lemarike kwaye oku kungonakalisa amaxabiso epropathi yabanye abanini yunithi; okanye i-condo ifuna indawo yeflethi enkulu okanye igumbi loluntu.
Kodwa akukho nanye kwezi meko esetyenzisiweyo kwityala likaNks. Gimbel Mendelsund, kwaye, enyanisweni, irekhodi loluntu lityhila i-14 Mpuma 96thIbhodi ye-condo yesitalato ayikhange isebenzise nemali yayo ukuthenga indlu. Endaweni yoko, yathengiswa kwiintsuku ezili-10 emva kokwala kukaMaria Schneider, umkhwekazi kaMnu Cohen. (Walile ukunika izimvo ngeli bali.)
Unokwenza ntoni umthengi ongafunwayo xa ibhodi yokubambisana isebenzisa ilungelo layo lokwala okokuqala?
Ngokwesiqhelo akukho nto, utshilo uWilliam M. Dellicato, igqwetha laseManhattan eligxile kumthetho wekhondomu. Umthengi ukwimeko entle kuba ukuthatha ibhodi enkundleni yinto ende kwaye ibiza imali eninzi, kwaye kunzima ukungqina ukuba ibhodi ye-condo, eneneni, iqhelise ucalucalulo ngaphandle nangaphandle.
Kutshanje, nangona kunjalo, xa ibhodi ye-condo ye-Bennet Condominium eWashington Heights isebenzise ilungelo layo lokwala okokuqala kwaye izama ukuthintela ukuthengwa kwamagumbi amabini adibeneyo yi-YAI, umbutho ongajonganga kwenza nzuzo obonelela ngeenkonzo kubantu abadodobeleyo ngengqondo kunye nocelomngeni kuphuhliso. abantu, umbutho umangalele ibhodi, uqinisekisa ukwaphulwa komthetho i-Federal Fair Housing Act kunye ne-New York's Human Rights Law. Ngomhla wamashumi amathathu ku-Matshi, ityala lagqitywa ngenxa ye-YAI, esele ikwazile ukuthenga izindlu ezimbini ukwenza indawo yokuhlala yeqela labantu abahlanu.
UNks Gimbel-Mendelsund khange atsho nokuba naye uza kulandela amanyathelo asemthethweni.
UJane Garmey ngumbhali ohlala eManhattan.
