Board Lacked Authority to Mandate Replacement of In-Unit Windows

Mangold v. Board of Managers of Meadow Court Condominium
2025 WL 676733
AppDiv, First Dept.
(memorandum opinion)

In an action by condominium unit owner to declare an amendment to the bylaws void, to enjoin window replacement work, and to declare an agreement between the board and the window contractor void, the condominium board appealed from Supreme Court’s grant of summary judgment to the unit owner. The Appellate Division modified to hold the agreement with the contractor void only with respect to unit owner’s unit, but otherwise affirmed, holding that the board acted beyond its authority.
