Hillside — Ch. 18 Art. XIII Condominium Conversion § 18-581
Purpose
Operative Text
The purpose of this article is to establish procedures and standards for the conversion of existing multiple-family rental housing to condominiums. These procedures and standards have been enacted to assure that purchasers of converted housing have been properly informed as to the physical condition of the structure that is offered for purchase and to ensure that converted housing achieves a high standard of appearance, quality, and safety, and is in good condition without hidden needs for maintenance and repair.
Hillside Ch. 18 Art. XIII § 18-581 establishes the overarching purpose of the municipality's condominium conversion rules. The article is designed to create a framework of procedures and standards that govern how existing multi-family rental properties may be converted into condominiums. Central to this purpose is ensuring that prospective buyers receive full, accurate information about a building's physical condition and that converted properties meet defined standards of appearance, quality, and safety — with no hidden maintenance or repair issues.

Under Hillside Ch. 18 Art. XIII § 18-581, operators pursuing a condominium conversion are expected to operate within a framework that prioritizes transparency and physical quality. Compliant operators generally ensure that all required disclosures about a building's condition are made available to prospective purchasers and that the property meets the article's standards for appearance, safety, and overall condition before conversion proceeds. Familiarity with the full set of procedures outlined in Article XIII is a practical starting point for any property owner considering this process.

Hillside Ch. 18 Art. XIII § 18-581 signals that tenants living in rental housing subject to a condominium conversion have a right to expect that the process follows established procedures designed to protect future buyers — and, by extension, current occupants — from undisclosed physical deficiencies. Tenants who believe a conversion is proceeding without meeting the article's stated standards of quality, safety, and full disclosure may have grounds to raise concerns with local municipal authorities. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Hillside's conversion rules can help residents understand what protections may apply to their situation.
