Last winter, the Norwood News reported that a majority among the Fordham Hill Owners Cooperative’s Board of Directors had begun making a string of sweeping changes at the high-end University Heights housing cooperative.
The board chair, who said the other majority members met in secret, resigned in protest and, after several accusations of impropriety from the Board majority, the cooperatives’ property management staff started resigning as well.
The owners began organizing behind activist Desiree Pilgrim-Hunter, who, after a heated campaign, took over as board chair after elections.
A couple of weeks ago, Pilgrim-Hunter admitted the situation was still tangled and fraught with tension, but she said the Board has begun to right the wayward ship and is on the verge of hiring a new management company.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
