Botelho, in which the Court confirmed that a condominium association has a priority assessment super lien, capable of extinguishing a first mortgage.
Like Frank, MJ concentrates on all aspects of Rhode Island condominiums and advises associations and property managers daily on a wide range of issues, including condominium assessment lien enforcement, governance issues, declaration amendments and re-writes, FHA discrimination issues, election proceedings, and rule enforcement. MJ also advises investors on clearing titles to condominium units after foreclosure.
