Template REBNY Coop Purchase Application for NYC

When buying a coop in NYC, you’ll typically be provided a coop purchase application that the coop’s managing agent will want you to use.

Coop purchase applications will usually be different and customized for the specific coop building you are attempting to purchase in. However, what if the coop is a small, self managed building without a coop purchase application on hand? In this very rare case, you can rely on a standard REBNY coop purchase application.

We’ve included a template REBNY coop purchase application for NYC home buyers below. Since the sales application should always be typed, you’ll want to download a PDF version of the REBNY coop purchase application which you can type in.

Please note that the PDF template REBNY coop purchase application also includes a personal financial statement at the end, similar to a REBNY Financial Statement.

Discrimination is prohibited in Board admissions procedures under the following laws:

The Federal Fair Housing Act | The Civil Rights Act | The New York State and New York City Human Rights Laws

The New York City Human Rights Law provides that it is unlawful to refuse to sell, rent, lease, approve the sale, rental or lease or otherwise deny a housing accommodation based on actual or perceived race, creed, color, national origin, gender (including gender identity), age, disability, sexual orientation, marital status, partnership status, lawful source of income, alienage or citizenship status or because children are, may be, or would be residing in the accommodation. Where a housing accommodation or an interest is sought or occupied exclusively for residential purposes, the provisions shall be construed to prohibit discrimination in the sale, rental, or leasing of such housing accommodation or interest on account of a person’s occupation. Complaints may be filed within one year of an unlawful discriminatory act at the Law Enforcement Bureau of the City’s Commission on Human Rights.

The New York State Human Rights Law provides that it is unlawful to refuse to sell, rent, lease or otherwise deny a housing accommodation on the basis of race, creed, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, sexual orientation, military status, marital status, or familial status. Complaints may be filed within one year of an unlawful discriminatory act to the New York State Division of Human Rights or within three years of an unlawful discriminatory act in State Court. Complaints may not be filed with both the Division and the Court.

The Federal Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination in housing practices on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin. Individuals who believe they have been victims of an illegal housing practice may file a complaint within one year of the unlawful discriminatory act with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) or file their own lawsuit in federal or state court. The Department of Justice brings suit on behalf of individuals based on referrals from HUD.

The Civil Rights Act provides that all citizens of the United States shall have the same right to inherit, purchase, lease, sell, hold, and convey real and personal property. The law concerns the rights of all persons to make and enforce contracts, to sue, be parties, give evidence, and to the full and equal benefit of all laws and proceedings for the security of persons and property. Complaints may be filed with the Office for Civil Rights.
