Non-Owner Run for Condo Board?

In general in NYC, can a non-owner of a condo run for the condo board and be a member? A person does not own the their unit, it is not in their name – the ownership and deed is under a family members name that bought the unit for them to live in. The the actual buyer and owner does not live in the building.

Can a person living in a unit that they don’t own run for the condo board? It would seem to me just like a owner “renting” it out without actually collecting “rent”.
