Co-op / Condo News: Board v. Wheelchair Guy, New Rules & Regs, More

New York, NY, Jan. 3, 2011 — Recent news for co-op boards and condo associations.

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Maintenance fees continue to rise! So says The New York Times. In other news for co-op board members and condo directors, we get a year-end roundup of new state and city rules and regs, the story of a co-op the city condemned, and, in ever-exciting, Co-op City, we find one more board more ready to spend money on legal fees than to spend less money to make a door handicapped-accessible. Here's a PR tip: Your building doesn't look good when you fight disabled war veterans! In wheelchairs, yet! It's not strangling puppies, but it's close.

For buyers and sellers, we've advise on suing sponsors, a clear explanation of the new law regarding real-estate broker disclosures, some word on a bargain condo, and the apartment amenity that could add five grand to your asking price. What is it? Find out!
