Build a housing cooperative portal
Kliv is an AI app builder. Describe your housing cooperative portal: units, shares, carrying charges, maintenance queues, board-only records, amenity bookings, and an archive shareholders can search.

What is Kliv?
Kliv isn’t property-management software with co-op labels added. It’s an AI app builder that builds software for you.
You describe the app you need in plain words, and Kliv builds it: the data, the logic, the screens, the permissions, and the payment flow for carrying charges. What you get is a real application that’s yours. You can run it on your own accounts, use your own Stripe account for payments, and change it later by asking. It isn’t a template.
On this page, that app is a portal for a housing co-op: shares, charges, maintenance, amenities, board records, and the archive. Kliv builds all kinds of web apps; this is one residential community example.
Why build your own co-op portal?
A housing cooperative is not a landlord with tenants. It has shareholders, shares, proprietary leases, house rules, committees, annual meetings, minutes, and carrying charges.
Generic property software often assumes rent rolls and lease renewals. Kliv builds the portal around your bylaws and records: who owns which share, what the board may see, what shareholders may search, and how charges collect.
What the system knows
A co-op runs on facts that often sit in filing cabinets. In the app, each fact gets the rule it needs.
Units and shares
Share #23 can carry unit 4B, shareholders, approved subletter, and the dog on file. Occupancy questions are answered by records.
Carrying charges
Each unit’s monthly charge can collect on the shareholder’s card. Failed cards can retry and send email before arrears reach a board agenda.
The maintenance queue
A leak becomes a request with photos, priority, and status. The house committee works a queue instead of hallway conversations.
The archive
Minutes, house rules, proprietary lease, and amendments are searchable by meaning, so a plumbing question can find the amendment that answers it.
The board room
Arrears, share transfers, and interview notes can be board-only records that ordinary shareholder accounts never receive.
The guest suite and amenities
The guest suite, roof deck, and laundry can have bookable slots. Overlapping bookings are refused when someone tries to create them.
An example: Marisol’s 48-unit housing co-op
Here’s how one co-op might use a portal built with Kliv. It’s only an example — you would describe your own shares, bylaws, charges, committees, and amenities.
An applicant reaches the top of the waitlist
Marisol’s admissions committee can read the application, references, and financials. The rest of the building cannot.
The interview and vote stay on the record
The board schedules the interview, records the vote in the minutes, and the minutes enter the archive when written.
The share transfer updates access
Share #23 moves to new names. New accounts are created, departing access ends, and unit 4B’s history stays with the unit.
The first carrying charge collects on schedule
The new shareholder’s payment method is on file before keys change hands, and the monthly charge starts on the first.
A maintenance request enters the queue
Three weeks later, a radiator leaks. The shareholder files a photo at 11 p.m.; the house committee sees it in the morning and updates the status.
A house-rule question cites the archive
A shareholder asks about subletting. The assistant answers from the house rules and 2021 sublet policy, with the paragraph cited.
Describe what you want to build
Kliv builds from your description, so include the units, shares, charges, committees, private records, amenities, and archive. Here are three examples:
Self-managed co-op
Carrying charges, maintenance, and board records.
“Build a portal for our self-managed 24-unit housing cooperative. Include units and shares, monthly carrying charges collected on our own Stripe account, a maintenance queue the house committee triages, board-only records, and shareholder access to public minutes.”
Waitlist and admissions
Applications, interviews, and committee votes.
“Build an admissions portal for our housing cooperative. Applicants should join a waitlist, upload their package to a private file space, staff should schedule interviews, and the committee should track votes and decisions in board-only records.”
Amenities and bookings
Guest suite, roof deck, and laundry slots.
“Build a shareholder portal where members book the guest suite, roof deck, and laundry slots. Refuse overlapping bookings, show each shareholder their own reservations, and include any approved fees in the monthly carrying charge ledger.”
How it comes together
Carrying charges can run as subscriptions. Each unit’s monthly charge, such as $684 for a one-bedroom or $912 for a two-bedroom, can renew on schedule through your own Stripe account. Arrears follow the grace rules you set.
The assistant can read the archive. Upload minutes, house rules, and amendments since 1987. Kliv indexes them so questions can match meaning instead of exact wording, and every conversation stays in the co-op’s database.
Payment rules can be tested first. In a sandbox, the board can run a simulated year: one card failing, reminders going out, and the grace period ending when the bylaws say.
A co-op is a membership with a building attached. The membership side continues at the membership page.
Common questions
What exactly is Kliv?
Kliv is an AI app builder. You describe your co-op portal, and it builds the app, database, payments, archive, and access rules.
Do I get a real app, or a template?
A real app. Units, shares, charges, committees, amenities, board records, and the archive are built around your co-op.
Can I change it after it’s built?
Yes. You can add a committee, change a house rule, update an amenity booking rule, or adjust carrying charges by asking.
What happens when a shareholder falls behind on carrying charges?
The card can retry automatically while reminder emails go out. If the balance is still unresolved after your grace period, the case can surface to the board with payment history attached.
Can the board keep private records?
Yes. Board-only records can be enforced with access rules so ordinary shareholder accounts never receive those rows.
Can shareholders search old minutes and rules?
Yes. The archive can be semantically indexed, so a question about renovations can find the alteration policy even if the title uses different wording.
Do shareholders need Stripe accounts?
No. They pay by card. Stripe is how the money reaches the co-op’s account.
Does Kliv take a cut of carrying charges?
No. Payments run through your own Stripe account. Card processing costs are between you and Stripe.
Can amenities prevent double-bookings?
Yes. Guest suite, roof deck, laundry, or other amenities can use booking rules that refuse overlapping reservations.
Can volunteers maintain it?
Yes. You ask for changes in conversation, and the app changes with the co-op. You do not need to maintain a server.
Can I move off Kliv later?
Yes. The code syncs to your own Git repository, so leaving is a git pull rather than a rebuild.
Do we need a separate CMS?
No. The portal is its own admin for records, pages, minutes, house rules, and committee spaces.
