Building Demolition
By AJ Sidransky
Cities are crowded. That’s a simple fact. In the best of circumstances, there’s noise, dirt,
dust, and the usual urban pests. Add to that the construction of a new building next to or
nearby yours, and annoyance can quickly become overwhelming. Clearly, the owner of the
property under construction has a right to build his or her building within the parameters
permitted by local zoning and other ordinances. But what about the neighbors?

8 Maintaining Exterior Spaces
By AJ Sidransky
Whether it’s a balcony, terrace, patio or roof deck, outdoor space is many an apart-
ment owner’s dream. Desirable – and valuable – as they are, these spaces do present specific
maintenance considerations for individual owners, co-op corporations, and condo associa-
tions, however. Oftentimes, these considerations are complicated by the fact that without
specific knowledge of engineering and construction, the signs of potential problems in these
spaces are too easily missed.
Facade Repair and Restoration
By Mike Odenthal
When you close your eyes and picture any building, you are quite likely imagining its
facade – the outer shell which protects and contains all of the hustle and bustle that goes
on within. In a residential property, the facade is what separates a building’s occupants
from both elements and intruders. As such, it’s imperative that the facade be inspected,
maintained and serviced regularly to ensure that it’s secure and functioning as intended.
18 Telecom for Your Community
By Mike Odenthal
As more and more of our daily lives become more intertwined with online entertainment
and services, internet access has become a home utility along with electricity and running
water. Boards can take for granted that every resident in their building or community asso-
ciation wants reliable, fast internet service. While many communities leave the selection of
service providers to individual owners, others – especially those with shared community
spaces in which people expect wireless access – have to decide as a board which available
provider is right for their association.

OF THE NEVADA COOPERATOR
Exterior maintenance is the focus of this latest edition of
The Nevada Cooperator
. For
instance, regularly maintaining your property’s facade is important both for aesthetic
and practical reasons; our story will guide you on when it’s the right time to make the
necessary repairs and restoration. Such concern also applies to the maintenance of ex-
terior spaces, as it’s crucial to recognize the potential dangers for balconies, terraces and
roof decks. And when it comes to a building demolition, those affected are certainly your
next-door neighbors; in our article, we look what can be done to mitigate the inconve-
niences. In addition to the paper you are holding, you’ll find more useful information
at our upcoming The Cooperator Expo Las Vegas on Tuesday, March 26, 10:00 a.m. to
3:30 p.m., at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino, where there will be over 200 exhibitors
providing services for your community association. For information, visit lv-expo.com.
