Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York
I live in a New York City co-op. I had a legal dispute with my co-op, to sum up
the judge ruled on my side but did not award any legal fees.
The co-op has seemingly put their legal fees on my maintenance bill. I've contacted
the managing agent several times but he will not answer.
My maintenance bill is now so messed up that I can no longer figure out how
much I owe each month. I've 'had it' and I e-mailed the managing agent to clear
up my bill by Friday.
If it's not cleared by Friday, I plan to go to his supervisor.
My question is, may I put my maintenance into an escrow account until this is settled?
If I send my maintenance into the managing company I think they're going to
mis-apply it.

A. Generally, no. However, you may indicate on the check how the money is to be applied. Of course, if you won the litigation the cooperative may not charge for its legal fees.
