What Boards Can Really Do About a Disruptive Neighbor

Saison 3 · Épisode 19

lundi 24 août 2026 • Durée 13:43

Send us Fan Mail

When a co-op has a shareholder no one can live with, boards actually have serious legal muscle to do something about it. Steven Anderson, former partner at Becker Law and now with Kucker Marino Winiarsky & Bittens, breaks down the landmark Pullman case and how it turned "objectionable conduct" into one of the sharpest tools a co-op board can wield. Anderson explains why condo boards face a much steeper climb when trying to remove a disruptive owner, and what separates the two ownership structures when things go legally sideways. He also walks through what due process looks like for a shareholder facing termination, how long these fights typically drag on, and why most disputes end before ever reaching a courtroom. Habitat's Carol Ott conducts the interview.

The business of running a building is demanding work that requires making endless decisions — some that can quickly lead your board into a quagmire of legal difficulties. Legal Talk interviews New York's leading co-op/condo attorneys to find solutions, and get some guidance, on these challenges.

What a Missing Stock Certificate Can Cost You

Saison 3 · Épisode 18

lundi 17 août 2026 • Durée 14:22

Losing a stock certificate sounds like a paperwork headache — until it threatens to derail a closing entirely. In this episode, Geoffrey Mazel, founding partner at Hankin & Mazel, talks about the unglamorous but essential mechanics of co-op share transfers. He's seen sellers arrive at the closing table without the paperwork they need, decades-old bank loans that seem to disappear into thin air, and family situations that quietly complicate who actually owns the shares. Mazel breaks down why these documents carry so much weight in a co-op sale, what can go wrong when they're missing or unclear, and the steps every shareholder should take long before they ever list their apartment. Board members will come away understanding why these "small" documents cause the biggest closing-day surprises — and how to help residents avoid them. Habitat's Carol Ott conducts the interview.

Get Serious About Arrears Before They Spiral

Saison 3 · Épisode 17

lundi 27 juillet 2026 • Durée 12:17

Falling behind on monthly fees might seem like a minor headache, but it can spiral into years of complications, mounting costs, and serious tension between neighbors. Carl Finger, principal at Finger & Finger, breaks down what actually happens behind the scenes when a resident stops paying, and why some boards handle it with ease while others watch a small problem snowball. He shares a case involving an elderly shareholder that shows just how complicated things can get when a board waits too long to act, plus the surprising legal tools available to condo boards that co-ops simply don't have. Finger also gets into the murky question of whether a board can restrict amenities like parking or the pool, and why that strategy usually backfires. Habitat's Carol Ott conducts the interview.

When a Breakup Becomes the Board's Problem

Saison 3 · Épisode 16

When one shareholder wants out and the other wants to stay, the fallout doesn't just involve the two of them, it lands squarely on the board's desk. Matthew Goldberg, partner at Hankin & Mazel, walks through a real case involving an unmarried couple who bought a co-op together, only to face a breakup that turned into a stock transfer, a lender negotiation, and a financial review most boards wouldn't see coming. He breaks down what boards are actually responsible for reviewing when ownership changes hands and what can happen when an agreement falls apart entirely. Goldberg offers real lessons for any board that assumes a breakup, divorce, or ownership change is simply a private matter. Habitat's Carol Ott conducts the interview.

How One Co-op Got a Crash Course in Its Own Rules

Saison 3 · Épisode 15

lundi 29 juin 2026 • Durée 14:22

What would happen if your co-op's proprietary lease didn't actually give your board the powers you've always assumed it had? That's not a hypothetical — it's exactly what happened to one New York co-op. Tracy Peterson, a principal at Braverman Greenspun, takes Carol Ott through a case where digging into a co-op's proprietary lease revealed a provision so unexpected that it had escaped notice — by attorneys, managing agents, and board members alike — for more than 40 years. She breaks down what the board found, how they handled the fallout, and what every board member should take away: read your governing documents, because the surprises are in there.

Surviving Emotional Support Animal Requests

Saison 3 · Épisode 14

mardi 23 juin 2026 • Durée 19:56

When a newly married couple applied to a Riverdale co-op with an emotional support animal request, their board faced a situation that most no-pet buildings aren't prepared for — and the fallout landed them before the Human Rights Commission. Eric Goidel, senior partner at Borah Goldstein Altschuler Nahins & Goidel, walks through the case step by step, explaining the unconventional strategy he recommended and why it matters for any board navigating ESA requests. The lesson here isn't just about pets — it's about documentation, process, and knowing where the real legal exposure lives before a complaint ever gets filed. Habitat's Carol Ott conducts the interview.

A Smarter Way to Handle a Problem Shareholder

Saison 3 · Épisode 13

mardi 26 mai 2026 • Durée 24:46

Send us Fan Mail

Dealing with a neighbor who stops paying maintenance is one of the most stressful situations a co-op building can face — and most people assume the only fix is a slow, expensive slog through housing court. Attorney Moshe Bobker, partner at Tane Waterman & Wurtzel, explains a little-known legal tool that's been quietly changing the way co-ops handle defaulting shareholders. It's faster, cheaper, and in many cases far more effective than anything a courtroom can offer. Bobker draws on real cases to explain how this strategy shifts the pressure in ways that get people to the table quickly — and why it's been gaining serious traction since the COVID era exposed just how broken the traditional process really is. Habitat's Emily Myers conducts the interview.

What One Condo Learned About Enforcing Its Own Rules

Saison 3 · Épisode 12

lundi 18 mai 2026 • Durée 13:27

Send us Fan Mail

When a Lower East Side condo board ran out of patience with a rule-breaking pet owner, they needed a solution that didn't involve a lengthy and expensive lawsuit. What their attorney found buried in their own governing documents surprised everyone — and ultimately stopped the problem in its tracks. In this episode, attorney Lloyd Reisman, partner at Belkin Burden Goldman, pulls back the curtain on why so many building rules are essentially unenforceable — and what happens when boards find that out the hard way. He explains what residents can expect when buildings haven't updated their documents in years, and the practical steps that separate buildings that can act from those stuck waiting on a judge.

If your co-op has holders of unsold shares — or you're not even sure what that means — listen up. David Fitzhenry, partner at Moritt Hock & Hamroff, breaks down everything boards need to know about these often-misunderstood shareholders and the special rights they carry. You'll learn why holders of unsold shares can bypass the standard alteration approval process, how they can claim a board seat, and why their presence could affect your building's financing options. Fitzhenry also shares practical advice on maintaining a productive relationship with them, which can ultimately benefit the entire building. Whether you're dealing with one right now or just want to be prepared, this conversation gives you the legal grounding and real-world perspective to handle the situation confidently.

If your board has an attorney serving as a director — or if you're that attorney — this episode is essential. Stewart Wurtzel, member at Tane, Waterman & Wurtzel, walks through the real conflicts that arise when legal expertise meets board duty. He explains why letting your board's attorney review contracts instead of hiring outside counsel can leave everyone dangerously uninsured, how to voice a legal opinion without it becoming legal advice, and why diplomacy is everything.
