cellphone antenna on a roof of coop

Postby ymikhale » Thu Oct 03, 2002 12:23 pm

I am subletting an appartment on a top floor of a coop building. Recently they started installing a cellular phone antenna on the roof without even notifying us. Do they have a right to install this without obtaining the permissiong of the subtenant even if I am not the owner? Can I break a lease because of that?

The co-op has no contractual relationship with the subtenant -- only with the tenant-shareholder.
 
Are the antennas on a common area of the building's roof? Or are they on areas of the roof that are allocated to specific tenant-shareholders?
 
As a public relations matter, the co-op board should have notified the tenant-shareholders that antennas would be installed on the roof.

the roof is off limits to all tenants, so i guess it is not divided among shareholders So the coop can put a source of radiation above my head and there is nothing i can do b/c i am not a shareholder, is that correct?
