GOVERNMENT OUTREACH LOG

Who we've
contacted.
When. What they've done.

Transparency goes both ways. Every letter, email, and policy brief TASFGA has sent to a NYC or NY State official about condo and co-op governance reform is logged below. If an office responds, we publish the response. If they don't, we publish the silence.

THE APPROACH

We document everything.

New York does not currently regulate condo and co-op managing agents. No license is required, no complaint registry exists, and no public body tracks the sector's outcomes. TASFGA has asked — formally, in writing — for the city and state to change that.

This page is a running public record. Each entry includes the date, the office, the subject line, our reference number, and the current status of the communication. When an office responds, we link the reply. When an office declines, we mark it and move on to the next pressure point.

Every entry below is verifiable. We will provide our full outbound correspondence (with recipient email addresses redacted for the individual's privacy) to any journalist, researcher, or legislator who requests it at contact@condoscoopsnyc.org.

THE COUNCIL

The TASFGA NYC Condo & Co-op Governance Council.

In April 2026, TASFGA convened an advisory council of NYC condo and co-op owners, building professionals, and policy researchers to coordinate the reform push. The council's purpose is narrow and specific: build the evidence base, identify the pressure points, and maintain sustained contact with the offices that can change the law.

What the council does:

  • Reviews every outbound letter before it's sent — for accuracy, tone, and legislative framing.
  • Maintains the outreach log above and keeps the public status field current.
  • Coordinates with journalists covering condo/co-op governance at The City, Habitat, Crain's, The Real Deal, and The New York Times.
  • Reviews draft legislation before TASFGA endorses or opposes it.
  • Vets the issue catalog quarterly and adds or retires items based on verified evidence.

The council meets monthly. Seats are unpaid. We do not accept members whose employer is a managing agent, sponsor LLC, condo/co-op board-side law firm, or LL11 engineering firm — the categories TASFGA actively scrutinizes.

If you are an owner who has experienced the failures this site documents and you want to serve: write to us at contact@condoscoopsnyc.org with a brief note about your building and what you'd bring to the work. Applications are reviewed by the sitting council.

Silence is also evidence.

Every office we contact gets a reference number and a status field. If the status field reads "No response" after 90 days, that is also a matter of public record — and it informs the next round of contact.
