CCRs enforceable as equitable servitudes under NY common law. Fines must be authorized by governing documents. Board decisions protected by business judgment rule (Levandusky v One Fifth Avenue, 75 NY2d 530).
Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions recorded in Onondaga County are enforceable as equitable servitudes under NY common law. HOA and condo boards may enforce CCRs through fines (only if authorized by governing documents), injunctive relief, and liens. Board decisions receive deferential review under the business judgment rule established in Levandusky v One Fifth Avenue Apartment Corp, 75 NY2d 530 (1990), which requires courts to defer to board actions taken in good faith within the scope of authority. Matter of 40 West 67th Street v Pullman extended this to cooperative shareholder evictions. Owner remedies: seek injunction, declaratory judgment, or challenge as ultra vires.
CCR fines per governing documents, typically $25-$500 per violation. Injunctive relief and attorney fees available where authorized. Liens recorded with Onondaga County Clerk.
