Unfortunately the law has not kept pace with the growth of condominiums and Boards must use an 18-page, 55-year-old law that was based on a Puerto Rican law to solve every problem, while other states have detailed Condominium Acts that provide boards and unit owners detailed guidance on how to operate their condominiums and clarity with regard to the rights and obligations of Boards and owners. This places the Board in a terrible position in attempting to operate a complex building and, deal with everyone’s demands. And then there are the myriad of city and state mandates: annual tests to perform, reports to file, deadlines to meet, coupled with day-to- day issues that can arise in the condo community. CNYC board chair Stuart Saft, Esq. will lead a discussion of these issues and others that you raise. Board members and unit owners of CNYC member condominiums are welcome at no cost, but advance registration is required. Non-affiliates are welcome, too, at a fee of $50 if paid in advance or $75 at the door. Please reserve your place at workshops@CNYC.coop or (212) 496-7400. Location TBD MM/DD/YYYY
