Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York
equity assessment in a co-op
I've run across this concept wherein the
shareholder in a co-op pays a monthly
''equity assessment'' for a major capital
improvement which is added to the value
of the property when the owner cashes in
their stock (vacates). Is thus a conceot
that is familair? Please offer links to further
understand its use and any regulation.
Thank you

Re: equity assessment in a co-op
This is a strange concept as I am not sure how the coop can definitevely add value to the property since its sale would be dictated by fair market value. I'd be pleased to discuss this further with you if you'd like.
Kind regards,
