FAQ

To comply with New York law, there are three primary pathways to establish an HOA: obtaining a no-action letter under 13 NYCRR Section 22.8, utilizing the Cooperative Policy Statement No. 7 (CPS-7), or filing an offering plan pursuant to 13 NYCRR Part 22 (Part 22).

The Office of the New York State Attorney General (OAG) requires that the sponsor file an offering plan for the homeowners association, and that the sponsor maintain the commitments it made in the offering plan. The OAG's jurisdiction is limited to ownership and maintenance of HOA common property.

One of the primary reasons HOA fees might feel high or are on the rise is inflation. The increasing costs of services, labor, and materials place HOAs in a challenging position, often leading them to make tough choices between hiking up assessments or cutting back on services and maintenance.

The HOA board sets these fees based on the community's budget and financial needs. The board calculates these fees to ensure adequate funding for maintaining and operating shared spaces and amenities. Therefore, negotiating your personal HOA fees is usually not an option.

Key Takeaways: HOAs Cannot Directly Evict Tenants – While HOAs enforce rules and maintain community standards, they cannot directly evict tenants. However, rule violations, unpaid fees, or legal actions initiated by the HOA can impact the property owner, potentially leading to eviction through the landlord.

The best way to strategize on short-term rental restrictions is to speak to a board member. At the same time, you can consult the CC&Rs' (Covenants, conditions, and restrictions) advice. Knowing the potential risks of getting around HOA's restrictions is important. And we highly recommend doing it the legal way.

Once you buy a home that's part of an HOA, you automatically become a member of the HOA. HOA rules are legally binding, and you must adhere to all rules and regulations in the governing document. Yes, there are bylaws that you may not like, but there are no HOA loopholes.

No, there is not a way to ``leave the HOA'' without moving. The HOA covenants are tied to the property permanently.

The local law supersedes the rules and regulations of the HOA, meaning that HOAs must ensure they are operating under the law.
