In New York, a homeowners’ or condominium association may not adopt or enforce any rules or regulations that would prohibit or impose unreasonable limitations on the installation or use of an EV charging station in a condominium or homeowner’s assigned parking space.
- An association may install an EV charger in the common area for the use of all condominium owners.
- If a parking space does not exist, a condominium association may create a parking space to facilitate the installation of an electric vehicle charging station.
- The legislation provides that if an application to install a charger for a home or condominium owner is not denied in writing within 60 days of receipt, the application will automatically be deemed approved.
- New York legislation features a civil penalty for condominium associations that do not comply with the right-to-charge laws. In actions to enforce compliance, New York will cover the attorney fees and costs of the prevailing party for home and condominium owners.
