New York Home Equity Regulations

New York Banking Law Protections

High-Cost Home Loan Restrictions

New York Banking Law Section 6-l restricts high-cost home loans and requires additional disclosures and protections for borrowers.

Loans with APR exceeding certain thresholds trigger additional requirements and borrower protections.

Mandatory Waiting Periods

New York requires specific waiting periods between loan application and closing, and additional cooling-off periods for certain high-cost loans.

These waiting periods are designed to prevent rush decisions and allow borrowers time to consider alternatives.

Co-op Shareowner Loan Requirements

For co-operative apartments, lenders must comply with special requirements and often need co-op board approval for the loan.

Co-op loans are secured by shares in the cooperative corporation rather than real estate, requiring specialized loan programs.

Enhanced Disclosure Requirements

New York requires comprehensive disclosures beyond federal requirements, including specific language about risks and borrower rights.

All disclosures must be provided in the borrower's primary language if available.

Attorney Representation

While not required by law, it's customary in New York for borrowers to have attorney representation at closing, especially in complex transactions.

Attorney fees are typically $1,500-$3,000 and should be factored into closing costs.
