To have a pleasant condo living experience, keep in mind these legal rights for condo owners. The Right to Access Condo Documents. The Right to Equality and Non-Discrimination. The Right to Notice and Meetings. The Right to Run and Vote During Elections. The Right to Protest.
Achieving a 70% funded reserve is considered a milestone for inium associations, indicating a reasonable level of financial preparedness. It signifies that the association has taken proactive steps to ensure the long-term sustainability of the community and mitigate the risk of financial instability.
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) has weighed in by requiring approved inium projects to have at least 10% of the annual operating budget set aside for reserves. However, that percentage is arbitrary and is usually never enough for an association that has to paint and replace roofs.
Finally, condo owners have the right to take legal action against other condo owners or the condo association itself. When board members or condo owners fail to comply with the condo bylaws, regulations, or state or federal laws, you have a right to bring a lawsuit against them for damages or injunctive relief.
On average, The Board should be setting aside 15% to 40% of their total assessments towards reserves, although for some simpler situations, a more minimal reserve fund ratio of 10% to 15% may be sufficient. Develop a funding plan that aligns with the calculated reserve fund requirements.
While there is no ideal funding level, having adequate reserve funds to replace reserve components as they are due over time is the goal. For instance, if an association has a 75% reserve fund level, they can only replace 75% of their reserve components as they become due.
The inium Act is the New York State law which governs the establishment of iniums.
