CCRs (declarations) in Oneida County enforced under NY Real Property Law 339 for condos and general contract law for HOAs. Fines must be authorized by the declaration. NY courts require HOAs act reasonably and follow due process (notice, opportunity to cure).
New York governs condominiums under NY Real Property Law (RPL) Article 9-B (Section 339-d through 339-ii); homeowner associations fall under general contract and corporate law (NY Not-for-Profit Corporation Law if incorporated). The NY Attorney General's Real Estate Finance Bureau must accept a condominium offering plan under RPL 352-e before sales. Courts apply the business judgment rule to HOA board decisions (Levandusky v. One Fifth Ave Apt Corp, 1990). Fines must be expressly authorized in the recorded declaration and follow due process: written notice, specified cure period, opportunity for hearing. Unpaid fines may become liens under RPL 339-z (condos) or contract provisions (HOAs). Oneida County condo projects include developments in New Hartford, Whitesboro, and around Utica College. Enforcement actions filed in Oneida County Supreme Court (Utica).
Typical HOA fine: $25-$250 per violation, escalating. Unpaid fines become liens; foreclosure possible under RPL 339-z. Association may recover reasonable attorney fees if declaration provides.
