Archer Property Management Abusive, harassing, stubborn, obnoxiousness, irresponsible, "devil may care attitude" Harrison New York
William Archer arbitrarllly uses his position to harass, annoy, and fine the members of the properties he oversees.
He may impose fines, order inspections, request documents (and request them numerous times), he may send the super to check fire, smoke and co2 alarms, insurance, inspect for bugs, or any other item he feels like: in attempts to annoy or harass anyone he feels like.
In addition he may institute fines, withhold or take away priveledges, institute unwarrented law suits, and withwraw, and reinstitute them... again just to harass you on his whim.
He wastes money on supposed infractions of minor rules... he doesn;t care as it is not his money.
In my case he has refused to contace the co-op board so that I may resolve the fines and penalties he has arbitrarilly imposed. He refuses to talk to me in any reasonabe manor, or to make any attempt to resolve outstanding issues. In addition he has imposed late charges, and illegal fees to my monthly assessment includung doubled late fees... just because "he feels like it"!!!
He has also made it impossible to acquire names of board members (so that I can contact them in efforts to resolve ongoing issues that he is unresponsive to), He has also been unresponsive to letters sent either by mail, or resistered mail.

William Archer has arbitrarily decided that that I was collecting rent from my significant other (I never collected one cent form her), and has been outright thwarting any and all efforts to contact the Co Op board so that the issue can be addressed and resolved. As I have been unable to contact the board, I can not resolve this ongoing harassment that he has persisted with for more than 2 and 1/2 years.
I note here that it IS permitted to have a significant other reside in the apartment.
During the last Co Op meeting (April 22, 2013) I spoke with 3 of the board members... including the current president, and all have stated that they knew nothing, have heard nothing , and the it was all new to them.
In contacting my lawyer, it has been determined that the only PROOF, as determined by their own paralegal who has done extensive research, that the best proof that could be found is only HEARSAY and nothing more.
However William Archer has persisted in placing monthly late charges, illegal legal fees, and occasionally doubling late fees. Currently, these practices have yielded fines and fees far greater than the original unwarranted and unproven accusations precipitated. His unwarranted and unjustified a relentless harassment has brought on legal fees, which to this point can only grow as he is AGAIN threatening legal action.
When confronted in court all they do is withdraw with prejudice, so they can continue to harass me and create financial burden.
I refuse to give into his unethical tactics. He is also wasting the money of the Co op with unnecessary expenses and legal fees. It is obvious that he does this just because he can … and further it costs him nothing as the Co op receives the bills.
Additionally there are other members of the Co op who have similar complaints of whimsical harassment by him. Why nothing has been done to this point is beyond me!! William Archer Does not belong as a management agent; he should be in jail for harassment!

The ossining report was written by James M**** who is a shareholder in the cooperative known as parkview. As agent we treat all shareholders equally and with respect. Managing Agents follow the direction of the board of directors who employ them. This board adopted house rules that allow you to sublet your apartment if you can prove a hardship. Once approved there is an annual fee of $1000
Mr. M**** knowing this chose to sublet without approval and got caught. When the attorney sent him a letter he indicated the "tenant" was actually his girlfriend living with him. He then began ringing the supers bell stating, "you see me living here right". He would then get in his car and drive away. The security camera documented this repeatedly.
With court becoming reality he entered his tenants apt, put her contents in the hallway, and changed the lock. I had the staff safe guard her belongings that she removed over time. She thanked me for assisting her and stated she had been renting but he had told her he had approval.
As far as "keeping him from the Board?" He has been to two Board meetings since this incident, and has spoken to literally all Board Members. The names and apartment numbers of all Board Members are posted in each lobby but he would not know that as he still does not live there!
