Huntington HOAs can levy regular and special assessments under their governing documents, and unpaid assessments become liens on member units under NY RPL 339-Z (condos) and contract law for HOAs. Foreclosure is available as a remedy for persistent non-payment.
Assessment authority comes from the CCRs or condo declaration, typically allocating common expenses by unit percentage or equal share. Regular monthly or quarterly assessments fund operations and reserves. Special assessments for capital projects require procedures set in bylaws, sometimes including membership vote thresholds. Under NY Real Property Law 339-Z condominium associations have automatic lien rights for unpaid common charges, with priority ahead of junior liens. HOA liens require filing of notice of lien and court action. Foreclosure is available but typically pursued only after extended non-payment. Late fees and interest are governed by the declaration.
