Commercial Real Estate

Certain areas are zoned for commercial use and others for residential. Attempting to run a retail establishment in a residential area carries serious consequences, especially in NYC. If you are not in compliance with the city’s strict zoning laws, you will likely incur hefty expenses, including fines, legal fees, and costs of relocating. You may even face criminal penalties. Fortunately, with the help of a NYC zoning law attorney, you can ensure that your business is in compliance with zoning laws, and even request changes to zoning laws in certain situations.

In New York, condos are governed by the “Condominium Act” which also sets minimum standards for any governing documents, such as the By-Laws and Declaration. A Board of Managers is tasked with governing the condo’s affairs, and must remain in compliance with the Condominium Act and its governing documents. The Board is responsible for maintenance and repair of common areas, using funds derived from the unit owners’ common charges. When it fails to perform its duties, legal assistance is often necessary.
