Condo/Co-Op Legal Services
- Drafting and reviewing condominium and co-op association bylaws and management documents: For example, if building management needs to change the bylaws, we can advise you on what current bylaws say, what steps are required to change them and how much notice must be given to members.
- Covenant enforcement: For example, co-ops typically maintain strict control over who may live or stay in a co-op building and typically management and members must give approval. Condo lawyer David Schachter has effectively handled scenarios where a friend or relative staying in the co-op building has been met with disapproval by either co-op management, the tenants or both.
- Fee collections: Frequently, tenants neglect to pay management fees and our firm is retained to collect on monies owed.
- Construction and renovation contracts and construction dispute resolution: We assist the board in finding an architect, hiring and negotiating with contractors and obtaining financing to carry out condo and co-op renovations.
A Diverse Law Practice for a Diverse Clientele
We provide legal services to many non-English-speaking clients. We have represented clients from 35 different countries. We have staff on hand who speak Spanish, Gujerati, Arabic, Hebrew, Bangladeshan, Bengali and Hindi. This can be a tremendous benefit if your condo or co-op includes international residents.
