Co-ops and Condos United of New York recently joined co-op and condominium leaders for a productive meeting with Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman.
The event was attended by cooperative leaders and representatives from communities representing more than 50,000 cooperative units throughout the City of New York. Participants engaged in a lively and productive discussion regarding the vital role cooperative homeownership plays in providing affordable housing opportunities for working families, seniors, and middle-class New Yorkers.
The discussion focused on many of the challenges facing the cooperative housing community, including unfunded government mandates, property taxes, insurance costs, and policies such as the Climate Leadership and Community Protection ACT and Local Law 97 that impact the financial stability of residential communities.
As an organization representing co-op and condo residents, boards, and stakeholders, Co-ops and Condos United of New York welcomes opportunities to meet with any candidate or public official who is willing to listen to and address the unique challenges facing co-op and condo owners. These conversations are essential to raising awareness of the issues that affect our communities and advocating for public policies that support housing affordability, building sustainability, and quality of life.
Co-ops and Condos United of New York looks forward to continuing discussions with leaders across the political spectrum as we work to advance the interests of New York's co-op and condominium communities.
