Condominium Law Attorneys in Rochelle Park

Where Law Meets Business

The New Jersey Condominium Act serves as a blueprint as to how a condominium is established, organized, and run, while also providing requirements as to how the association transitions from the developer. At Sobel Han, our Rochelle Park condominium law attorneys have the extensive knowledge and experience necessary to help clients remain fully in compliance with the law.

Condominium Establishment – In accordance with the New Jersey Condominium Act, a condominium may be built or established through county record with the acknowledgment of all owners on the master deed.

Master Deed – The master deed includes an acknowledgment that the building must comply with the provisions in the Condominium Act, the name of the property, a description of the land, a survey of the property, the identification of each condominium unit, the voting rights of unit owners, by-laws, name of the association and additional provisions.

Unit Deeds – Under the Condominium Act, deeds or leases should be provided to the owner or tenant of the individual condominium units. This deed must include the name of the condominium, the unit the deed is intended for, the name of the unit owner, and a statement of the proportionate undivided interest.

New York Condominiums

The New York Condominium Act, also known as Article 9b of the Real Property Law, provides the framework for the establishment and operation of condominiums in New York. 

Although the New York Condominium Act details a number of matters such as a board’s authority to gain access and collection of common charges, some of the more important provisions include the following:

  • Details the powers and duties of the board
  • Explains methods to remove the board and elect new people in the positions
  • Describes the operation of the property including the hiring and firing of employees
  • Lists restrictions on the use of property

The Act requires unit owners to comply strictly with the bylaws, regulations, resolutions, and decisions of a board. The Act also sets forth the parameters of rules and regulations that condominium boards must follow. Often, if an owner or condominium board fails to adhere to the Act, a tactful reminder of the obligations is all that is necessary to diffuse most disputes.
