CC&Rs enforceable as covenants running with the land under NY common law. Boards may fine, suspend privileges, and sue. Selective enforcement is a defense.
NY courts enforce recorded restrictive covenants where they touch and concern the land and were intended to run. Fines must be authorized by declaration or bylaws. Owners can assert laches, waiver, or selective enforcement defenses. Association must follow notice and hearing procedures in governing documents.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
