Publications & White Papers

TASFGA's research program is being built. Each planned publication is tied to a specific documented gap and, where possible, a proposed fix to be tracked for implementation on the scorecards. The titles below are working titles in development.

Focus 1 — Residential Community Governance (initial area of focus)

• The 50-State Managing-Agent Licensure Gap (forthcoming) — a state-by-state comparison of licensure, bonding, and disciplinary authority over condominium managing agents.
• Model Financial Disclosure Standard for Community Associations (forthcoming) — proposed reporting requirements for condominium, cooperative, and HOA governance.
• The Martin Act Post-Sponsor Void (forthcoming) — how NY's regulatory framework lost coverage of ongoing governance once sponsor control ended.
• Local Law 11 Cost Opacity (forthcoming) — capital-assessment practices and the documentation void they exploit.

Upcoming areas of focus (research scoping)

• Municipal Transparency Baseline (forthcoming) — a reproducible audit for city councils, zoning boards, and BIDs.
• Elected-Official Disclosure Standard (forthcoming) — a model statute for income, outside-activity, and conflict reporting.
• Corporate Board Governance Primer (public interest lens) (forthcoming) — fiduciary duty and disclosure at the intersection of private boards and public impact.

Papers will be posted once TASFGA's review process is operational. In-field reporting and case studies for Focus 1 are published at condoscoopsnyc.org.
