					  <description><![CDATA[ Several interesting court decisions regarding co-ops
 and condos were made during the latter part of 2005. The decisions received
 some commentary, but perhaps not the attention that they deserve. In a
 condo case, the Appellate Court that oversees the trial courts in Manhattan
 and the Bronx made a decision that clarifies when a condo unit owner may be
 subject to liability in connection with the condo&#8217;s common elements.
 And New York&#8217;s highest court issued a decision changing how one
 determines whether a co-op shareholder is a holder of unsold shares (i.e.,
 a shareholder who typically has special privileges, such as being able to
 transfer and sublease without board approval). Some other notable decisions
 provide valuable lessons.

					  <description><![CDATA[ Unlike co-ops, which are governed by the business
 corporation law and the common law with respect to cooperative housing
 corporations, condominiums are really a creature of statute. The statute
 that gives authority to create condominiums is article 9-B of the Real
 Property Law, which is commonly known as the Condominium Act.

					  <description><![CDATA[ Some years ago, an acquaintance of ours worked as a
 &#8220;permit clerk&#8221; for a plumber while on summer vacation in
 college. The plumber would give him paperwork for a work project, he would
 go to the city offices, and, in theory, he would get the necessary permit.
 However, more and more often, the people behind the window would find fault
 in the proposal and send our friend back without the permit. Then, the head
 of the plumbing company would get angry, get on the phone and send him back
 a second time. After a few weeks, the young man left the job and took one
 in a store instead.

					  <description><![CDATA[ In its last meeting of 2005, the New York City Council
 enacted legislation to make the city a quieter, cleaner and more
 environmentally-friendly place to live. Perhaps one of the major
 initiatives sought by the mayor&#8217;s office was revising the
 city&#8217;s 30-year old noise code. Honking horns, noisy refuse trucks,
 construction clamor, boom boxes and car alarms are just some of the
 undeniable facts of life in living in the city that never sleeps. However,
 residents may sleep a little quieter when that outdoor noise, music and
 even barking dogs are muzzled by new restrictions that carry fines ranging
 from $50 to $8,000 depending on the nature of the offense.

					  <description><![CDATA[ Few experiences can rattle the collective confidence of
 a co-op or condo community as much as charges of fraud. Trusts are broken
 and faiths betrayed, all in the name of personal gain. Boards and residents
 can protect themselves, though, and go a long way toward ensuring that the
 trauma of fraud does not happen to them.
