New Rochelle, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 209 § 209-6
Compliance with statute required
Operative Text
Owners of multiple dwellings desiring to convert same to condominiums or cooperatives shall comply with the provisions of § 352-eee of the General Business Law of the State of New York.
New Rochelle Code of Ordinances ch. 209 § 209-6 establishes that any owner of a multiple dwelling who wishes to convert that building into condominiums or cooperatives must follow the requirements set out in § 352-eee of New York State's General Business Law. The provision does not create independent local rules for the conversion process; instead, it incorporates the state-level statute as the governing standard. The effect is that state law controls the procedural and substantive requirements for such conversions within New Rochelle.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 209 § 209-6, a property owner planning to convert a multiple dwelling to condominium or cooperative ownership is expected to be fully familiar with New York General Business Law § 352-eee before initiating any conversion process. Compliant operators typically review the state statute's disclosure, filing, and tenant-protection requirements and ensure all steps are completed in accordance with that law. Because the local ordinance directly incorporates the state statute, any gap in state-law compliance is also a gap in local compliance.

Tenants in a building undergoing conversion may have rights related to notice, purchase opportunities, and other procedural safeguards established under that state law. General enforcement paths include contacting the New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal, reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization, or consulting an attorney familiar with New York cooperative and condominium conversion law.
