Condo common charges are a statutory lien under NY RPL 339-z, with priority over later mortgages for 6 months of charges plus attorney fees.
NY RPL 339-z gives condominium boards automatic lien on units for unpaid common charges. RPL 339-aa allows foreclosure. For HOAs, assessments are contractual liens under recorded declaration. Late fees and interest must be reasonable; NY courts strike excessive charges. Contact Broome County at (607) 778-2000 for enforcement.
