NYC CO-OP owner HELP Please!May 16, 2025

Hello,

Not sure if i'm in the right forum, but i will give it a shot..

I own shares in a Co-op building in Manhattan (its currently rented out). I live full time in Long Island. I work 5 days/week in NYC.
The apartment in NYC is currently rented but due to the board limitations of renting only 2 out of every 5 yrs, next April i will no longer be able to rent. At that time, because I step foot in NYC more than 185 days per year AND i have a "place of abode" i will be considered a NYC resident (even though i dont live there). This becomes a problem because my W2 income will now be taxed by NYC also.

Looking for a solution that enables me to keep the apt and not be deemed a NYC resident.

Are there trusts that exist to take ownership out of my name that will help me accomplish this goal?

Ty!

Speak to an attorney who specializes in tax and co-op law, AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, about your situation. The rules regarding taxes and residency are very complex and you'll be walking through a minefield. Remember, any advice you receive on here, is worth exactly what you pay for it.

Good luck!
