What is a cond-op? By definition, a cond-op is a residential co-op where the ground floor (typically commercial units) is converted into a separate "condominium" which is either owned by an outside investor or the original sponsor of the building. Thus, although the residential units are a co-op, the commercial units are owned as a condominium by an entity other than the co-op. Thus, the co-op does not receive the benefit of the income from these units. Some will refer to co-ops that operate under condominium rules as "cond-ops". This is not accurate although you will hear this quite often. A co-op that operates under condominium rules is just that.
