Babylon HOAs and condominium boards governed by NY Real Property Law 339-B (condominiums) and NY Not-for-Profit Corporation Law (HOAs). Open meetings not required by NY law unlike co-ops; procedures set by governing documents.
New York condominiums are governed by the Condominium Act, Real Property Law Article 9-B (339-d et seq). HOAs are typically organized as not-for-profit corporations subject to NY Not-for-Profit Corporation Law. Board procedures including meeting frequency, notice, quorum, and voting are set by the declaration and bylaws. NY does not require open HOA meetings (unlike California). Board members owe fiduciary duty to unit owners. Annual meeting must occur per governing documents; special meetings on petition of owners typically 25 percent.
Breach of fiduciary duty by board: civil suit by owners, potential removal. Failure to hold annual meeting: court-ordered meeting possible under N-PCL Section 603.
