Common Charge & Maintenance Collections—Effective Strategies for Co-ops & Condos to Maximize Recovery Room 1 Sponsored by: Schneider Buchel LLP Residents who do not pay their common charges and maintenance are a significant issue for co-op and condo communities—to- day more than ever.

Come find out the best approach to handle the non-paying residents and recover the most unpaid monies—including interest, late fees, and legal fees. Speaker: Marc H.

Room 2 Sponsored by: Smith, Buss & Jacobs LLP With costs rising—and accidents and property damage a perpetual worry for boards and owners alike—it’s vital that both you and your co-op or condo association be properly insured against liability and loss.

This expert panel will address all these issues and more, including what your insurance actually covers, who pays for repairs vs. restoration costs, making sure your contractors are adequately covered, and insuring against new risks like cyber hacks and ransomware.
