what is a cond-op? by definition, a cond-op is a residential co-operative 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.  Many times, people will refer to co-operatives that operate under condominium rules as "cond-ops".  This is not accurate although you will hear this quite often.  A cooperative that operates under condominium rules is just that but may be inaccurately referred to as a "cond-op".
