After decades of fighting their sponsors, New York City co-ops and condominiums may finally be catching a break. Almost 20 years have passed since the state’s highest court, the Court of Appeals, decided the landmark Jennifer Realty case, holding that co-op apartment corporations may sue their sponsor-developers for breach of an implied promise to sell their unsold shares in the corporation. Despite the ruling, most owners of unsold apartments continued to rent rather than sell their unsold units, especially when the rental market remained strong.

On May 5, 2021, Governor Andrew Cuomo signed into law the New York Health and Essential Rights Act (NY HERO Act), which is intended to protect workers from airborne infectious diseases in the workplace.  The law will require employers to comply with minimum standards for workplace safety, which are to be developed, implemented and enforced by the NYS Department of Labor (NYSDOL) and the New York Department of Health (NYSDOH).  These standards, once implemented, will address testing, PPE, social distancing, hand hygiene, disinfection, and engineering controls.
