Condo Q&A

Making amendments to condo association bylaws

Written by stephen polinsky | Thu, Mar 11, 2010 @ 01:11 PM
Our New York 55+ condo association just sent out a letter about an addition to the condo association bylaws, not an amendment. Also included in the envelope is ONE page containing both 1) a proxy that specifically names the Secretary of the Board as the person to act on the proxy, and 2) a voting form that requires the homeowner to enter their name and address. Homeowners are directed to respond with a vote or proxy by March 15. A meeting on the issue will be held on March 25. Our bylaws clearly state that a meeting to discuss amendments is required before a decision is made on amending bylaws. Isn't all of this illegal? The last amendment was passed the same way a year ago.
