Legal Decisions and
Legislation and how they impact the Cooperative.
Tthe Federation of New York Housing Cooperatives and Condominium’s
seminar “How Recent Legal Decisions and Legislation
Impact the Cooperative and Condominium Community" was
held on Wednesday, October 23, 2002 at the Roosevelt Hotel
from 6 PM to 9 PM.
The panelists included two very well-known and knowledgeable
attorneys that have years of experience in this field plus
an executive from the National Cooperative Bank. In addition,
Commissioner Martha E. Stark from the Department of Finance
rounded out the panel.
This “legal” seminar is the second in our series
of “satellite” discussions. The first was held
on June 26 in Queens. The topic was insurance and it drew
a crowd of nearly one hundred board presidents and concerned
cooperators. The Federation expects this seminar to attract
even more as the topic is vital to the financial well being
of these housing corporations.
The Federation is a membership organization of cooperative
and condominium properties in the metropolitan area, Long
Island, Westchester and lower New York State. Our mission
is to educate and inform our members on all matters concerning
the proper operation and maintenance of cooperatives and
condominiums.
