: I recently bought a coop in queens, NY. The seller told me that dogs were allowed in the past, but they weren't sure about now. I was given copies of three sets of coop house rules and my proprietary lease and nowhere does it say I cannot have a pet. The board had said that it does not allow dogs, but other pets are ok. I would like to bring in a dog but am not sure if I am within my rights as owner. Any help?

Search for pets on Housing Court Decisions.

Basically, since there is no written rule against dogs, you have a legal right to adopt one. (note: nothing 'they said' counts now: you have a written contract) But: you might alienate your new neighbors & business partners...

Why not call the lawyer who helped you buy the coop? After you do the homework...
