In addition, subject to any limitations   set  forth  in the declaration or the by-laws, the board of managers, on   behalf of the unit owners, may  incur  debt  for  any  of  the  purposes   enumerated  in paragraph (b) of subdivision two of section three hundred   thirty-nine-v of this article, provided that (a) such debt  is  incurred   no  earlier than the fifth anniversary of the first conveyance of a unit   and (b) the incurrence of such debt  shall  require  the  consent  of  a   majority in common interest of the unit owners.2. In connection with a debt incurred by it, the board of managers, on   behalf  of  the unit owners, may (a) assign the rights in and to receive   future income and common charges, (b) create  a  security  interest  in,   assign,  pledge,  mortgage  or otherwise encumber funds or other real or   personal property that it holds, (c) agree that, to the  extent  of  any   amounts  due  under  any of the provisions of the agreements under which   the debt was incurred and subject to the provisions of  subdivision  two   of  section  three  hundred  thirty-nine-l  of  this article, all common   charges received and to be received by it, and the right to receive such   funds, shall constitute trust funds for the purpose of paying such  debt   and  the  same  shall  be expended for such purpose before expending any   part of the same for any other  purpose,  and  (d)  agree  that  at  the   lender's  direction  it  will  increase  common  charges  to  the extent   necessary to pay any amount when due under any of the provisions of  the   agreements  under  which  the  debt was incurred.

NY Real Prop L § 339-KK (2021)
2021 New York Laws RPP - Real Property Article 9-B - Condominium Act 339-KK - Rents.

§  339-kk. Rents. (a) For the purposes of this section, "non-occupying owner" shall mean a unit owner in a condominium association who does not occupy the dwelling unit.  (b) If a non-occupying owner rents  any  dwelling  unit  to  a  rental tenant  and  then  fails  to  make  payments  due  for  common  charges, assessments or late  fees  for  such  unit  within  sixty  days  of  the expiration  of  any  grace  period  after  they  are due, upon notice in accordance with subdivision (c) of this  section,  all  rental  payments from   the   tenant   shall  be  directly  payable  to  the  condominium association.  (c) If the common charges, assessments or late fees due for  any  unit have  not  been  paid in full, within sixty days after the expiration of any grace period of the earliest due date, the board of  managers  shall provide  written  notice  to  the  tenant  and  the  non-occupying owner providing that, commencing  immediately  and  until  such  time  as  all payments  for common charges, assessments or late fees are made current, all rental payments due subsequent to the issuance of such notice are to be made payable to the condominium association at the address listed  on the  notice.  Where a majority of the board of managers has been elected by and from among the unit owners who are in occupancy,  the  board  may elect  not  to  require  that  rental  payments  be  made payable to the condominium association. At such time as payments  for  common  charges, assessments  and  late  fees from the non-occupying owner are once again current, notice of such fact shall be given within three  business  days to  the  rental  tenant  and  non-occupying owner. Thereafter all rental payments  shall  be  made  payable  to  the  non-occupying  owner  or  a designated  agent.  A non-occupying owner who disputes the association's claim to rental payments pursuant to this section shall be  entitled  to present  facts  supporting  such  owner's position at the next scheduled meeting of the board of managers, which must be held within thirty  days of  the  date  that  such board receives notice that such owner seeks to dispute such claim.  (d) Nothing in this section shall limit any rights of unit  owners  or of the board of managers existing under any other law or agreement.  (e)  Payment by a rental tenant to the condominium association made in connection with this section shall relieve that rental tenant  from  the obligation  to  pay such rent to the non-occupying owner and shall be an absolute  defense  in  any  non-payment  proceeding  commenced  by  such non-occupying owner against such tenant for such rent.
NY Real Prop L § 342 (2021)
2021 New York Laws RPP - Real Property Article 9-C - Solar Rights Act 342 - Certain Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions of Homeowners' Associations Prohibited.

§  342. Certain covenants, conditions, and restrictions of homeowners' associations prohibited.  1.  Definitions.  For  the  purposes  of  this section:  (a) "restriction on use" means any covenant, restriction, or condition contained in:  (i) a deed;  (ii) a contract;  (iii) the by-laws of a homeowners' association;  (iv) any rules or regulations adopted by a homeowners' association;  (v) a security agreement; or  (vi)  any  other  instrument affecting the transfer or sale of, or any interest in, real property.  (b) "solar power system" means a photovoltaic  system,  comprising  of solar  electric  generating  equipment,  installed  on a rooftop, with a rated capacity of not more than twenty-five kilowatts.   2. A homeowners' association may not adopt or  enforce  any  rules  or regulations  that  would  effectively  prohibit,  or impose unreasonable limitations on, the installation or use  of  a  solar  power  system.  A restriction  on  use which effectively prohibits the installation or use of a solar power system is unenforceable and shall be void  as  contrary to  public policy. For the purposes of this subdivision, an unreasonable limitation includes, but is not limited to, any restriction on use that:  (a) inhibits the solar power system from functioning at  its  intended maximum efficiency; or  (b)  increases  the  solar  power system's installation or maintenance costs by an amount which is estimated to be greater than ten percent  of the  total  cost  of the initial installation of the solar power system, including the costs of labor and equipment.   3. Notwithstanding subdivision two  of  this  section,  a  homeowners' association  may  adopt  or enforce a restriction on use to prohibit the installation of a solar power system that is located on  property  owned by  the  homeowners' association or that is located on property owned in common by the members of the homeowners' association.   4. Any denial of a homeowner's installation of a solar power system by a homeowners' association must include a  detailed  description  of  the exact  basis  for  rejection  in  writing  with specific examples of the homeowners' association's concerns, if applicable.   5. A solar power system must meet the requirements established by  any local,  state  or  federal  law, rule or regulation on health and safety standards and those requirements imposed by state and  local  permitting authorities.
