The rules where you are

What governs a New York association

Every link below goes to the source, not to us. Read it yourself before you rely on it.

Primary association statute

New York Condominium Act, N.Y. Real Prop. Law Art. 9-B

Governs condominium creation and boards; homeowner associations generally operate as not-for-profit corporations under the N-PCL.

Read the code text

Contractor licensing

County and city consumer affairs agencies, including NYC and the Long Island counties

New York issues no statewide general-contractor license; home improvement licensing is local.

Pool regulation

New York State Department of Health and county health departments

Swimming pool permitting, operation, and required supervision levels.

This is a starting point, not legal advice. Statutes are amended, and your declaration and bylaws may impose stricter requirements than the state does — verify against the current code and your association’s counsel before acting.

The season here

What the year looks like

New York HOA services — questions, answered

Which statute governs HOAs in New York?+
New York Condominium Act, N.Y. Real Prop. Law Art. 9-B. Governs condominium creation and boards; homeowner associations generally operate as not-for-profit corporations under the N-PCL. Your own declaration and bylaws sit on top of it and may be stricter.
Does New York set reserve or competitive-bidding requirements?+
Read New York Condominium Act, N.Y. Real Prop. Law Art. 9-B alongside your declaration, bylaws, and any lender or insurer requirements — each of those can impose reserve funding or competitive bidding on your association, and statutes change. Confirm what applies to New York communities, and to yours specifically, with counsel.
Who licenses the contractors an association hires in New York?+
County and city consumer affairs agencies, including NYC and the Long Island counties — New York issues no statewide general-contractor license; home improvement licensing is local. Every vendor’s insurance and trade credentials are collected, verified, and stored with their expiry dates, and held to a stated renewal window — 30 days for insurance, none for a competency certification. Once that window closes, the vendor cannot bid for or be awarded new work until it is current again.
Who regulates community pools in New York?+
New York State Department of Health and county health departments — swimming pool permitting, operation, and required supervision levels. That is why pool scope on HOAcrew includes water-quality records and operator credentials, not just cleaning visits.
Is HOAcrew available here?+
Available to communities nationwide. Bring your own vendors anywhere; our vetted network is growing market by market.
Do you have vendors near me?+
Two ways it works. Invite the vendors you already use — they get credentialed and onboarded here, anywhere in the US. And where our vetted network has reached, additional vetted vendors can submit proposals too. Our network is growing market by market, so bringing your own vendor is always the fastest path.
