NY condos governed by Condo Act (RPL Article 9-B); HOAs by declaration. Ulster County HOAs must follow Not-for-Profit Corporation Law for meetings and elections.
Most Ulster County HOAs are incorporated under the NY Not-for-Profit Corporation Law (N-PCL), which sets minimum standards for annual meetings, quorum, notice (10-60 days before meeting), and elections. Condominiums additionally follow Real Property Law Article 9-B. Board meetings do not have to be open unless bylaws require it, but budget adoption meetings require notice to unit owners. NY does not yet have a general HOA transparency statute like some states; board procedure is governed primarily by the governing documents.
