Co-op & Condo Case Watch: Timing Is Everything

Co-op & Condo Case Watch: Timing Is Everything

The Bakers owned a penthouse apartment at 16 Sutton Place, which included the exclusive use of a terrace that adjoined their apartment. In May 2019, the Board proposed a proprietary lease amendment that reallocated responsibility for maintenance, repair and replacement of the private terraces, and at the annual meeting on May 30, two-thirds of the shareholders consented to this change. In July 2019 the Board notified the shareholders of the new amendments. Local Law 11 façade work was scheduled to begin in April 2020, and in a March 9 letter the co-op notified the Bakers that their share of the cost of the work would be $23,991.53, to be invoiced in three equal installments.
