New York
HOA Laws
New York has moderate HOA legislation focused on condominiums and cooperatives. Given New York City's dominance of cooperative housing, the state has extensive case law governing co-ops even without a dedicated statute. Planned community HOAs in suburban areas rely on their governing documents and general property law.
