What 782 Hart Condominium Inc.'s governing documents say

782 Hart Condominium is a standard condominium in Brooklyn, NY — you own your individual unit and share ownership of the building's common elements with other unit owners. The condo has 24 residential units and 12 parking spaces. This is the full Declaration and By-Laws that establish the condominium and govern how it's run.

• What you own & maintain: You own the interior of your unit (from drywall to drywall horizontally, and from subfloor to underside of concrete slab vertically). You are responsible for maintaining your unit's interior, while the association maintains all common elements like the lobby, roof, foundation, hallways, and utility lines that serve more than one unit. Limited common elements (balconies, terraces, light wells) are maintained by the unit owner who has exclusive use.
• Leasing & rentals: Units may be leased only in accordance with the By-Laws and Rules and Regulations. The Declaration does not set a specific minimum lease term, but the By-Laws give the Board of Managers a right of first refusal on any proposed sale or lease of a unit. Leases must comply with all rules.
• Pets: This document does not contain any specific pet restrictions beyond general rules and regulations that the Board may adopt.
• Assessments (common charges): Common charges are assessed to each unit owner based on their percentage of common interest (ranging from 0.5734% for parking spaces to 8.4975% for the largest residential unit). The Board determines the budget and sets the charges at least annually. Unpaid common charges become a lien on the unit, subordinate only to tax liens and first mortgage liens.
• Alterations & improvements: No alterations to the exterior of your unit or any common element may be made without the Board's written consent. Interior alterations that would impair the building's structural soundness also require Board approval. The Board must respond within 30 days, and failure to respond means no objection.
• Parking: The condominium includes 12 parking spaces (lots 1525-1536), each with a 0.5734% common interest. These are separate units that can be owned and conveyed independently from the residential units.
• Voting & governance: Each unit owner gets one vote per 0.01% of common interest. The Board initially consists of one member appointed by the sponsor, later expanding to three members elected annually by unit owners. The sponsor retains the right to designate one Board member so long as it owns any unit.
• Insurance & rebuilding: The association must carry fire insurance covering full replacement cost of the building (excluding owner's personal property). If less than 75% of the building is destroyed, the Board must arrange prompt repair. If 75% or more is destroyed, unit owners can vote not to rebuild.
