Why this site exists
The Eastmore is our home — a cooperative where residents are shareholders and, in principle, have a real say in how the building is run. A say depends on information. You can’t weigh in on what you don’t know about, and you can’t hold anyone accountable for what you can’t see.
For the past several years, that information has been harder and harder to get. BuildingLink — the building’s only official channel for residents to talk to each other and to management — now requires approval before posts go live. Residents don’t know who grants that approval or by what standard. Posts have been delayed, altered, or blocked without explanation.
The effect, whether intended or not, is a building where residents learn only part of the story and are left to guess at the rest. This site exists to close that gap.
What we do
SecondAnd76th.com is a complete, public record of what’s happening at The Eastmore. We publish news, we archive the primary documents behind it — board correspondence, official notices, meeting materials, legal filings — and we track the things that are easy to let slip, like how long BuildingLink posts wait for approval and when meeting minutes actually get posted.
We don’t ask you to take our word for anything. Wherever we report a fact, we show you the document it came from. Our job is to give you the full picture. What you conclude from it is up to you.
How we work
We present what happened and the records that prove it — factual and in full, never softened and never sensationalized. There is no approval process here, no gatekeeper, no board sign-off; that independence is what lets the site exist at all. This is a neighbor-to-neighbor resource, built to outlast any one dispute, board, or management company, and the documents are kept organized so the history of the building stays accessible rather than buried.
A permanent resource
This site began in response to specific problems, and those problems are documented here honestly. But it isn’t built to fight one battle. It’s built to be a lasting community resource — a place residents can rely on for accurate information about their home, this year and every year after, regardless of who sits on the board.
If you have information, a question, or a correction, get in touch. The record gets better when more residents contribute to it.
