CONDO START-UP : CHALLENGES FOR BOARDS AND UNIT OWNERS OF NEW CONDOMINIUMS
NEW DATE: Tuesday, May 11, 2010 
6:00 - 9:00 PM       
Location to be announced

In the last few years, many new condominiums have been formed in New York City, the owners of which must now deal with organizing and operating complex real estate properties which is further complicated in those instances where the sponsor may be exercising control or has not complied with its obligations under the Offering Plan. These are either newly constructed or renovated buildings or converted rental properties, where the new unit owners do not know one another and often have little or no experience in operating a building. Add to this the shock of the economic crisis and the sponsor's shaky financial situation and unit owners are concerned about protecting their investment and homes. In this seminar , CNYC Board Chair Stuart M. Saft, Esq. will provide guidance to unit owners in new condominiums. The 3 hour seminar will discuss unit owner and Board priorities, obligations and responsibilities of the sponsor and the Board, and organizing the owners and the Board. The class is limited to board members and unit owners of new condominiums. Advanced registration is required. A light supper is served. The cost is $75 per person if your condominium is a member of CNYC; $100 for non-members. To pre-reserve, call CNYC at (212) 496-7400 or register by e-mail to workshops@CNYC.coop. Payment sent to CNYC at 250 West 57 Street, Suite 730, NYC 10107 confirms your registration. To pay at the door, preregister and add $15.
