Sale of Securities

GBL SEC. 352

General Business Law Section 352 regulates sales of “securities” in New york State. Co-op and condo apartments are treated as “securities” under that law, which is enforced by the office of the New york State attorney General. The aG regulates sponsor sales and may monitor conduct by sponsors after the co-op or condo is created.
