Good News for Co-op Boards and Managing Agents for the New Year: Changes to Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act Benefit Co-op Corporations.  On December 22, 2021, Governor Hochul signed legislation exempting co-ops from many of the onerous restrictions in the Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act of 2019. These revisions will allow boards and their agents to represent the shareholders’ interests more effectively in operating their buildings.  

This issue of the New York Real Estate Journal presents the opportunity to recognize the achievements of women from the following professional services and related fields in its Women in Professional Services.  

We are proud to congratulate our selected attorneys.
