Tenant-owners elect a board to screen newcomers and settle quarrels in the cooperative
The City Housing Corporation handled the daily running of the Colonial Court cooperatives, but tenant-owners elected a Board of Directors that oversaw upkeep and gardens, reviewed applications from would-be residents and mediated disputes. The flats were popular at first, with few vacancies. When someone had to move, the association bought the apartment back to resell it instead of letting it out on a long lease.
