The New York Times Features Benesch Partner Laura Mehl Sugarman on Co-Op Identification Policies

Benesch Real Estate Partner Laura Mehl Sugarman was quoted in a recent New York Times article discussing identification requirements in cooperative buildings and the potential legal concerns surrounding their enforcement.

In the article, Sugarman noted that residents have the right to raise concerns if identification checks are applied in a discriminatory manner or in ways that may not align with a co-op’s governing documents. “If the identification checks are being enforced in a way that is discriminatory, or may not comply with the co-op’s bylaws or rules, you can let the board know your concerns verbally or in writing,” said Sugarman.
