Condominium Common Charge Lien
NY Condominium Act provides that the board of managers has a lien on each unit for unpaid common charges, with priority rules that subordinate the lien to tax liens and sums unpaid on a first mortgage of record (with limited specified exceptions). The statute also provides a statement mechanism that limits unknown prior accrued charges in excess of the stated amount.
