In Seaview Association of Fire Island, N.Y. v. Williams, 69 N.Y.2d 987, 989, 510 N.E.2d 793, 517 N.Y.S.2d 709 (1987), the Court of Appeals stated that "where there is knowledge that a private community's homeowners' association provides facilities and services for the benefit of community residents, the purchase of property there may manifest acceptance of conditions of ownership, among them payment for the facilities and services offered. The resulting implied-in- fact contract included an obligation to pay a proportionate share of the full cost of maintaining those facilities and services, not merely the reasonable value of those actually used by any particular resident". In that case, the defendants, nonmembers of plaintiff association were held liable for assessments of the plaintiff association.
