CNYC's Proprietary Lease. On September 15, 1999, CNYC's president, Marc Luxemburg. Esq., introduced CNYC's new form of proprietary lease which he has designed to clarify and strengthen the powers of the board in managing its cooperative, while at the same time carefully protecting the shareholders. It is his hope that this new form of lease will help reduce the use of the litigation process to resolve problems in favor of the political process. CNYC members can request printed copies of the current version of CNYC's proprietary lease by phone at (212) 496-7400 or fax at (212) 580-7801 or e-mail to info@cnyc.coop.
