SKIP ADVERTISEMENT Q: I co-own a condominium in Queens. I no longer live there, but when I did I was on the board with a fellow owner. I resigned, and the other owner died. Now there is no one on the board, and no one is willing to serve. Approximately 17 of the 20 units are rented, and there are language barriers with many of the owners. The building has a managing agent that handles some tasks, but the building needs work, and there is not much money in the reserve fund. Can you continue to run a simple, quiet condo without a board? Is it illegal to force people to serve?…
