SEAVIEW ASS'N OF FIRE ISLAND, N.Y., INC. V. WILLIAMS
69 N.Y.2d 987 (1987)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a dispute over the payment of association dues and fees.
Williams (D) sought review of a judgment, which affirmed the judgment of the trial court in
finding in favor of Seaview (P), homeowners association, in their action to recover
assessments for the years 1976 through 1984.
FACTS: Seaview property owners were assessed a share of annual costs to maintain a rent
free home for a resident doctor in the summer; shelters for lifeguards and Suffolk County
Police, as well as snow fences, anti-erosion devices, a nature area, and recreational
facilities. Ds owned homes in Seaview and refused to pay any of the assessments. The
Association (P) sued them for the fees. The trial court gave the verdict to P by finding
that D was liable under an implied contract; they bought the homes there with knowledge of
the nature of the community and the conditions imposed upon ownership therein. D contended
that they never used any of the facilities, and should not be obligated to pay unless they
expressly agreed.
