In their Cooperatives and Condominiums column, Richard Siegler and Eva Talel, partners at Stroock & Stroock & Lavan, write that the Pet Law's very short window for a board to timely commence an action to remove a pet from a no-pet building can be extremely difficult to meet. Therefore, §(d) of the Pet Law is particularly valuable because it permits pets to be removed at any time if the pet creates a nuisance, interferes substantially with the health or safety of occupants, or damages the building.
