PETITION FOR A LICENSE PURSUANT TO RPAPL 881 TO ENTER A CONDOMINIUM TO MAKE REPAIRS PROPERLY GRANTED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined the petition for a license pursuant to Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law (RPAPL) 881 to temporarily enter a condominium to make repairs was properly granted:

RPAPL 881 allows the owner of “real property” to petition for a license to enter the “premises” of an adjoining owner when such entry is necessary for making improvements or repairs to the petitioner’s property and the adjoining owner has refused such access … . RPAPL 881 applies to “real property,” defined as “lands, tenements and hereditaments” (Real Property Law § 2). Similarly, Real Property Law § 339-g provides that “[e]ach unit, together with its common interest, shall for all purposes constitute real property.” Thus, the petitioners’ condominium unit constitutes “real property” within the meaning of RPAPL 881. …

… [W]e agree with the Supreme Court’s determination to grant that branch of the petition which was pursuant to RPAPL 881 for a license to temporarily access the appellants’ unit. The court directed that access be limited to 10 consecutive days, that the petitioners return the unit to its original condition, that the appellants be financially protected by the naming of the appellants as additional insureds on the relevant construction insurance policy, that the petitioners pay the appellants a license fee of $100 per day, and that the petitioners indemnify the appellants for any loss … . Matter of Voron v Board of Mgrs. of the Newswalk Condominium, 2020 NY Slip Op 04747,  Second Dept 8-26-20
