New York Condo, Co-op & HOA Law — A Plain-English Reference for Board Members

83 sections of New York community-association law, translated into plain English. New York condos, co-ops, and HOAs are governed by a patchwork: the Not-for-Profit Corporation Law (NPC), the Real Property Law (RPP), the Real Property Actions & Proceedings Law (RPA), and the General Business Law (GBS) — including the Martin Act offering plan rules under GBS §§ 352-e/eee/eeee. SoShiny untangles all four for your board.
