When a co-op has a shareholder no one can live with, boards actually have serious legal muscle to do something about it. Steven Anderson, former partner at Becker Law and now with Kucker Marino Winiarsky & Bittens, breaks down the landmark Pullman case and how it turned "objectionable conduct" into one of the sharpest tools a co-op board can wield. Anderson explains why condo boards face a much steeper climb when trying to remove a disruptive owner, and what separates the two ownership structures when things go legally sideways. He also walks through what due process looks like for a shareholder facing termination, how long these fights typically drag on, and why most disputes end before ever reaching a courtroom. Habitat's Carol Ott conducts the interview.
The business of running a building is demanding work that requires making endless decisions — some that can quickly lead your board into a quagmire of legal difficulties. Legal Talk interviews New York's leading co-op/condo attorneys to find solutions, and get some guidance, on these challenges.
