CASE SYNOPSIS
Defendant property owners sought review of the judgment from the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the First Judicial Department (New York), which affirmed the judgment of the trial court in finding in favor of plaintiff homeowners association in their action to recover assessments for the years 1976 through 1984. Other defendant property owners were not parties to the appeal.
CASE FACTS
The property owners purchased several homes in the private community but refused to pay any of the assessments, contending that they were nonmembers of the homeowners association and nonusers of the recreational facilities maintained by the homeowners association.
