LEGISLATIVE UPDATE... from page 9.

“When You Demand Service...not lip service”

Associations: Are You in Compliance with New Jersey Law? 100 Old Palisade, LLC, 230 N.J. 427 (2017) significantly shortened the period of time within which a new homeowner association could seek judicial redress from its devel- oper for design and construction defects. The LAC has successfully initiated legislation (S3649) that would reverse the unfairness to all common interest communities result- ing from this court opinion. I recommend that you pick up and read the September issue of Community Trends ® , known as the “LAC Issue”, to learn about these issues in more detail. Also, don’t for- get to attend the Legislative and Legal Update presentation at the Conference and Expo…see you there! n CAI-NJ is proud to offer members Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Mediation Services This program is an alternative to litigation, as mandated by state law.
