Amending condominium declaration and bylaws can be difficult; particularly if boards are not guided properly. The original bylaws when the condo was conceived by the sponsor may be outdated, incorrect or need to be changed for a myriad of other reasons. If the board doesn’t do it correctly, the condo could get caught up in a litigation like the Towers on the Park Condominium in Manhattan. A pro se unit owner sued years ago and the appellate court in New York just put an end to the amendment challenge. In doing so, the Court absolved the condo from a few errors that it made in the amendment process. The better course however is to get it right the first time so that expensive litigation and acrimony in the condo because of challenges like this do not occur in the first place.
