Berda József Lakásfenntartó Szövetkezet is a housing cooperative headquartered at Nyár utca 21, in Budapest’s IV. district, Újpest. Founded in 1975 with one building, the cooperative gradually increased its portfolio as further residential blocks were completed and handed over. The organisation exists primarily to manage and maintain residential properties, focusing on the ongoing functionality, safety, and administration of cooperative-owned and managed buildings.
Today, Berda József Lakásfenntartó Szövetkezet is responsible for multiple buildings within Újpest, including properties on Berda József utca, Erzsébet utca, and Virág utca, among others. Projects include exterior and interior renovations, modernising facilities, and various upgrades such as lighting improvements. For example, in recent years, the cooperative has overseen lighting upgrades for several buildings, aimed at reducing energy costs and improving safety.
The cooperative’s operations are funded by rental income and member contributions. In 2023, the organisation’s reported net revenue amounted to over 541 million HUF. Leadership is structured with a board comprising five main executives, reflecting the cooperative governance model.
Berda József Lakásfenntartó Szövetkezet’s scope includes property maintenance, tenancy management, and coordination of technical upgrades; it functions as a local steward for shared residential assets in northern Budapest. The organisation maintains regular office hours for residents and members, facilitating direct, in-person communication about property issues and cooperative affairs.
