Queens Co-Op Board Of Directors Accused Of Taking Out $12M In Mortgages On Building Without Unit Owners' Consent

In Elmhurst, New York, the New York Daily News reports:

• Shareholders of an Elmhurst co-op are locked in a legal tug of war with its board of directors, accusing it of taking out $12 million in mortgages without their knowledge. Shareholders of the Continental, at 87-10 51st Ave., said they only found out about the two $6 million loans when they got court papers in June warning that the co-op was heading into foreclosure because of an unpaid bill. "We didn't know about either mortgage," a shareholder told the Daily News, speaking on condition of anonymity. "There have been no financial statements and no meetings."
