NY Real Prop L § 471 (2021)
2021 New York Laws RPP - Real Property Article 15 - Prohibition and Disclosure of Private Transfer Fee Obligations 471 - Intent.

§  471.  Intent.  The  legislature  finds and declares that the public   policy of this state favors the marketability of real property  and  the   transferability  of  interests in real property free of title defects or   unreasonable restraints on alienation. The legislature further finds and   declares that private  transfer  fee  obligations  violate  this  public   policy  by  impairing  the  marketability  and  transferability  of real   property and by constituting an  unreasonable  restraint  on  alienation   regardless  of  the duration of the obligation to pay a private transfer   fee, the amount of a private transfer fee, or the method  by  which  any   private  transfer fee is created or imposed. Thus, the legislature finds   and declares that a private transfer fee obligation shall not  run  with   the  title  to  property or otherwise bind subsequent owners of property   under any common law or equitable principle.
NY Real Prop L § 473 (2021)
2021 New York Laws RPP - Real Property Article 15 - Prohibition and Disclosure of Private Transfer Fee Obligations 473 - Prohibition.

§  473.  Prohibition.  A  private  transfer fee obligation recorded or   entered into in this state on  or  after  the  effective  date  of  this   section  does not run with the land and is not binding on or enforceable   at law or in equity against any owner, purchaser, or  mortgagee  of  any   interest  in  real  property as an equitable servitude or otherwise. Any   private transfer fee obligation that is recorded or entered into in this   state on or after the  effective  date  of  this  section  is  void  and   unenforceable.  This  section  shall not apply to a private transfer fee   obligation recorded or entered into prior to the effective date of  this   section.  This  section  shall  not  be deemed to require that a private   transfer fee obligation recorded, filed or entered into  in  this  state   before  the  effective  date  of  this  section  is  presumed  valid and   enforceable. It is the public policy  of  this  state  that  no  private   transfer  fee  obligation shall be valid or enforceable whenever entered   into, recorded or filed. Furthermore, this article  shall  not  validate   any  private  transfer fee agreement that is contrary to the law of this   state.

§  474. Liability for violation. Any person who records or enters into   an agreement imposing a private transfer fee obligation in  their  favor   or  in  the  favor  of  a  third  party after the effective date of this   section shall be liable for (1) any and all damages resulting  from  the   imposition of the transfer fee obligation on the transfer of an interest   in  the  real property, including, without limitation, the amount of any   transfer fee paid by a party to the transfer,  and  (2)  all  attorneys'   fees,  expenses  and  costs  incurred  by  a  party  to  the transfer or   mortgagee of the real property to recover any transfer fee  paid  or  in   connection  with an action to quiet title. Where an agent acts on behalf   of a principal to record or secure a private  transfer  fee  obligation,   liability shall be assessed to the principal, rather than the agent.
