Question: I represent a single owner of a four-unit commercial condominium in Brooklyn, N.Y. My client is in contract to sell the property but needs to terminate the condominium as a condition of sale. Can you walk me through how to terminate a condominium in New York City?

Answer: Luckily enough, a memo from the New York Attorney General’s office (the NYAG) on terminating condominiums can get you started. Since the memo only covers the filing requirements with the NYAG, we’ll first discuss when condominium terminations generally happen and then the steps for carrying them out in New York City.
