Bronx condo common charges and coop maintenance are authorized by RPL 339-m and the governing documents. Special assessments for capital projects require board action; boards can place a lien on a unit for unpaid charges under RPL 339-z and Lien Law.
Condo common charges are a lien on the unit under RPL 339-z, junior only to first mortgages and unpaid real property taxes. Boards may foreclose on the lien after six months of non-payment. Coops can terminate the proprietary lease for unpaid maintenance and pursue eviction under RPAPL 711. Special assessments must follow bylaws procedures; typically no unit owner vote required unless the assessment exceeds a bylaws threshold. NY RPL 339-kk (2014) clarified condo lien priority over HOA-type charges.
