Who's Watching Your Maintenance Dollars?
Episode 21
Wednesday, 28 October, 2026
A Brooklyn co-op trusted its new electronic payment system to keep the bills in order. Then the superintendent got access, started browsing old invoices, and noticed something that didn’t add up. What he discovered raised uncomfortable questions about who was watching the money. Avi Zanjirian, partner at Czarnowski and Beer, shares the story and explains what it reveals about how buildings handle your maintenance dollars. You’ll come away knowing who should have eyes on invoices, what dollar threshold makes sense for board sign-off, and the questions every board should ask a management company, especially a new one, before the next payment goes out. Habitat's Carol Ott conducts the interview. Thanks for listening. Subscribe to this podcast for more stories on how New York co-ops and condos have solved a myriad of problems. Brought to you by Habitat Magazine, the "bible" that hundreds of board directors turn to every day!
