The Association assumes no cost in rectifying the deficiency, unless a solution by the Association is clearly supported by the condominium documents.

When a unit owner has failed to properly maintain his/her structure (limited to those items listed/mailed to members as owner responsibility, January 92′), that owner shall be notified in writing of the necessary repair/maintenance required. Said repair/maintenance shall be completed forty-five (45) days from the date of the notice. If no work or response has been received by management in fifteen (15) days, a second letter is to be sent re-informing the owner of the deficiency and deadline. Extensions of the time frame for up to an additional forty-five (45) days for unusual hardships may be granted by the Executive Board upon receipt of a written request for the extension with reason delineated.
