We the Homeowner

Zinno v. Waterford Village Association, Inc.

The New York Supreme Court ruled in favor of a homeowner, declaring the HOA's unilateral rule prohibiting seasonal front yard ice rinks invalid because it circumvented the required homeowner voting process for amending governing documents.

The New York Supreme Court ruled for the Zinnos, holding the association could not enforce its challenged restriction against or fine them for maintaining a front-yard ice rink on their own lawn. Plaintiff's counsel was directed to submit an order on notice.
