Address Easement Issues Affecting Your Co-Op Share Or Condominium Unit

An easement is a right granted to another party to use a portion of your property or to restrict how you can use your co-op share or condominium unit. Utility companies may have easement rights to access building infrastructure. The building corporation may have granted easements for common area access or maintenance. Restrictive easements may limit renovations, modifications, or use of your unit. While some easements are necessary for building operations, others burden your property unnecessarily, restrict your ability to modify or sell your unit, and reduce your property value. An easement may have been granted decades ago for a purpose that no longer exists, yet it remains recorded against your share or unit. Sverd Law Firm has successfully handled easement disputes on behalf of co-op shareholders and condominium unit owners seeking to enforce, terminate, or modify easements that burden their homes.

The Problem With Unnecessary Easements Affecting Your Home

An easement may have been granted for a utility line, access right, or building purpose that no longer serves any function, yet remains recorded and continues to restrict your ownership. A restrictive easement may prohibit renovations, modifications, or certain uses of your unit without legitimate justification. An easement may prevent you from refinancing or selling your share or unit without cumbersome restrictions. Utility easements affecting building infrastructure may impose unnecessary limitations on how you can use your home. You should not have to accept perpetual restrictions on your home simply because an easement was recorded years ago.
