New York has no general HOA statute. CCR enforcement in Schenectady County HOAs is governed by the Declaration and the Business Corporation Law (if incorporated) or the Not-for-Profit Corporation Law. Disputes are resolved in civil court.
Schenectady County HOAs — typically in newer subdivisions in Niskayuna and Glenville — are private contract entities. Enforcement relies on the recorded Declaration of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions, bylaws, and the board's authority. Unlike FL, VA, or CO, NY has no condominium/HOA-act regulator (condos fall under RPL Article 9-B; cooperatives under BCL). HOAs may file Supreme Court actions for injunctions, and courts apply 'business judgment rule' deference to reasonable enforcement decisions.
Fines per the HOA Declaration (commonly $25–$250); court remedies include injunctions and attorney fees.
