Why Choose Schneider Buchel to Represent Your Rochester Association

We are proud to bring more than 100 years of shared legal knowledge to the Rochester area, serving the full spectrum of community associations with proven results and practical insight.

Our attorneys provide detailed representation in landlord-tenant disputes, drawing on statewide experience and a deep understanding of local issues. Our firm’s reputation in association law is grounded in decades of delivering clear, effective solutions to boards and property managers across upstate New York.

Protecting Communities in Landlord-Tenant Conflicts

We provide legal representation to community associations, co-ops, and condo boards facing landlord-tenant issues, including nonpayment, unauthorized occupants, and lease violations. These matters often require detailed knowledge of both association governance and state landlord-tenant law.

Our attorneys approach each case with precision, minimizing disruption to the community while working toward cost-effective, enforceable outcomes that preserve the association’s legal standing and authority.

Enforcing Rules and Expectations in Multi-Unit Housing

Objectionable conduct poses real challenges to boards and managing agents. We provide actionable legal solutions that help community associations resolve serious violations effectively and efficiently. Examples of cases we routinely handle include:

Unapproved subleasing or unauthorized occupants
Destruction of property or failure to maintain unit conditions
Intimidating, aggressive, or harassing conduct
Noise disturbances that disrupt peaceful enjoyment
Structural changes without board approval
Pets violating lease terms or community rules

Our clients rely on us for outcomes—not delays. We’ve won Summary Judgments and achieved appellate successes that affirm board authority and reinforce a zero-tolerance policy toward harmful conduct.

Resolving Arrears with Financial and Legal Insight

We approach maintenance arrears not just as a legal problem, but as a financial one requiring precision and planning. Our attorneys are skilled at maximizing recovery while minimizing disruption. Additionally, our fluency in co-op documents—from proprietary leases to recognition agreements—gives us a strategic advantage.

Our services include the following:

Drafting and enforcing enforceable payment agreements
Coordinating foreclosure filings and protective measures
Collaborating with lenders for arrears repayment
Ensuring regulatory compliance in all documentation
Recovering through asset and income-based strategies
Handling complex disputes through final settlements

Securing Interest on Overdue Assessments

Every month of unpaid interest represents lost value to the community. We ensure this recoverable revenue is pursued with diligence and legal backing. Our structured process helps boards enforce payment terms to the fullest extent allowed. Our services include:

Calculating interest owed and preparing documentation
Reviewing lease language and governing provisions
Collecting interest through judgment or settlement
Recovering attorney fees and costs where applicable
Coordinating legal filings for enforcement
Developing strategies that include full interest recovery
