Condominium common charges become automatic liens at filing per RPL §339-z and have priority over most subsequent liens (though subordinate to first mortgage).

Unpaid assessments: late fees $25-$50 typical, 18% interest common in CC&Rs, plus attorney fees. Condo lien foreclosure authorized after notice.
