Board of Managers of the Club at Turtle Bay v. McGown 2024 WL 1559000 AppDiv, First Dept. (memorandum opinion)

In a condominium's action for unpaid common charges, former owner appealed from Supreme Court's judgment awarding the condominium $101,381.29. The Appellate Division affirmed, holding that sale of the unit did not extinguish former owner's liability.

The condominium brought this action against former unit owner and guarantor seeking unpaid common charges and Supreme Court awarded judgment to the condominium
