Summary

Nassau County requires co-op governing boards to acknowledge purchase applications within 15 days and accept or reject completed applications within 45 days, under Local Law No. 30-2019.

These county ordinances apply to unincorporated areas of Nassau County. Incorporated cities within the county may have their own rules that take precedence over county-level regulations.

Within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of a purchaser's application, the governing board of the Cooperative Housing Corporation shall either acknowledge to the prospective purchaser that it is in receipt of a properly completed application or inform the prospective purchaser of any defect in the application... Within forty-five (45) days of its receipt of a properly completed application, such governing board shall either reject or approve the application.
