RESEARCH
Publications
3 published. 4 in preparation. The two lists are kept apart, because a working title is an intention and reading it as a catalogue entry is how research programmes get overstated.
Published
Open, free, versioned, and citable. Each carries its own version number and date; where a paper is a draft, it says so on its face.
- paper The 50-State Managing-Agent Licensure Gap
A state-by-state comparison of licensure, bonding, registry, reserve, and disciplinary authority over condominium and cooperative managing agents. Primary-source survey of all 50 states plus DC, with a six-state peer comparison and a gap crosswalk mapping each New York gap to the state that closed it.
- standard Focus 1 Governance Rubric (v1.0) — Residential Community Governance
The scoring rubric TASFGA applies to residential community associations: the dimensions scored, the inputs behind each, the letter bands, and the bias controls. Published in full except the calibration constants, and the reason for that exception is stated.
- standard Model Financial Disclosure Standard for Community Associations (v0.1)
TASFGA's proposed (draft) financial reporting requirements for condominium, cooperative, and HOA boards.
Also published, and arguably the most useful thing on the site: the seven review practices — every review point TASFGA would apply, published in advance so an entity can see what it would be asked before it is asked.
In preparation
None of the following exists yet. They are titles with a scope and no text. They are listed so the research direction is legible and so someone can tell us a title is wrong, redundant, or already covered by better work elsewhere — not to suggest a body of work that is available.
- The Martin Act Post-Sponsor Void Residential community governance
How New York’s regulatory framework lost coverage of ongoing governance once sponsor control ended.
- Local Law 11 Cost Opacity Residential community governance
Capital-assessment practice and the documentation void it operates in.
- Municipal Transparency Baseline Municipal governance
A reproducible audit for city councils, zoning boards, and BIDs.
- Elected-Official Disclosure Standard Legislative bodies
A model statute for income, outside-activity, and conflict reporting.
Field reporting
Case studies, per-building profiles, and per-firm analysis for the founding area of focus are published continuously at condoscoopsnyc.org rather than as papers here. Papers on this page are the cross-sector, institutional layer; the field arm carries the named-entity work.
Everything TASFGA has published, dated and in one place: The Record. Corrections to any published paper go to corrections@tasfga.com and are logged at /corrections/log.

A note when a paper, standard, or review practice goes up — and when one is revised, because a version change matters more than a launch.
