There were no conditions attached.

Sandy was in 2012 but since NY & NJ were "blue states", the hubris out of the GOP, like you see today, was fierce. To the point where the GOP reps in the impacted states went ballistic when the initial funding was killed.

From DKos -

Hurricane/Super Storm Sandy hit in late October 2012 and emergency funding wasn't enacted until early January 2013.
