CCU City Council Watch

Co-ops & Condos United NY (CCU) is pleased to launch CCU City Council Watch, our monthly legislative update highlighting developments at the New York City Council that impact the cooperative and condominium community. Our Legislative Director, Jane Menton, attended the New York City Council Stated Meeting on July 16, 2026, where she continued CCU’s advocacy on several important initiatives affecting New York’s co-op and condominium owners.

The most significant development involves implementation of the revised and extended J-51 Program, which was enacted by the New York State Legislature in June 2026. We are pleased to report that we met with members of the Green Co-op Council as well as several members of the City Council regarding the legislation and are hopeful that the necessary City Council bill will be introduced with the goal of moving the legislation forward in the coming months.

We also continued its advocacy for the creation of a New York City Council Co-op & Condo Caucus. Such a caucus would provide a dedicated forum within the Council to address the unique concerns of the more than one million New Yorkers who reside in cooperative and condominium communities. We discussed this initiative with several Council Members, who responded favorably, and we will be following up with them in the coming weeks to help move this important proposal forward.

CCU remains committed to ensuring that the voices of New York’s cooperative and condominium communities are heard at every level of government. Stay tuned for next month’s CCU NYC Council Watch as we continue to report on the legislative issues that matter most to our communities.

One Million Strong.

One Voice.
