Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York
I am a condo owner who wishes to document the sponsor's and homeowners association's failure to perform repairs to the building's exterior (water leak from the outside). Although I have, previously, communicated with both parties via email, they failed to respond to my requests via email to do the repairs.
1) Is correspondence via email (as opposed to, for example, a written letter) sufficient documentary evidence of notice to a party?
2) Can a subpoena for records be served on a party by mail (instead of being hand delivered)?
1 Answer from Attorneys
1.Email is harder to get into evidence than certified mail.
2.No, not against a private party.
3.If this building converted to condo in the past 5 years, notify the attorney general, so he can freeze any pending condo plans that the sponsor has filed. That usually gets his attention.
