ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURES
20) ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURES
a. Reporting Violations: Complaints concerning violations of the Rules, Regulations or any provisions of the Association’s Declaration and Bylaws by a Unit owner or tenant must be submitted, in writing, to the Executive Board or Management Company, signed by the Unit owner or tenant. The complaint must be in sufficient detail to determine whether a violation has occurred
b. Investigation: A member of the Executive Board Committee or representative of the Management company shall investigate the complaint to determine whether there is reasonable cause to believe that a violation has occurred.
c. Initial Violation Notice/First Notification: The Association will send a written notice describing the violation to the Unit owner and/or tenant, instructing them to correct the violation or respond within a maximum of ten (10) days. If a violation is not corrected within the amount of days detailed in the letter, or if the Unit owner has not contacted the Executive Board concerning the violation, the Executive Board will proceed further with the enforcement procedures. Unit owners may respond to a written violation and request a hearing.
d. Fines and Penalties: Depending upon the seriousness of the violation, the Board has the right to impose larger fines if the violation or problem disregards the safety of the residents, is in complete disregard of the Association and adjoining neighbors, and/or in violation of the Association’s Declaration or City ordinances. Depending upon the seriousness of the violation, the fine could either be enacted for each incident per occurrence or a fine charged for each day that the violation exists. The penalties for the Unit owner could include loss of Association privileges. The Executive Board has full authority in establishing the dollar amount of fines and loss of privilege penalties. The amount assessed is due upon receipt of the notice.
