Roll Down Security Gates
The retail space owner (Issaic Lambert) installed roll down security gates without consulting the Board of Directors or homeowners. In addition to making our building look bad and depreciating our property values, this violates the CC&R’s
8.2.15 Exterior Uses (page 32)
No Owner shall use any area outside or upon the exterior faces
of the Project Building including areas outside of Unit windows
or any fire escape or other exterior fixture for any purpose
whatsoever ….
8.3.4 Windows Coverings (page 34)
No window in any Unit shall be covered in whole or in part,
inside or outside, with aluminum foil, newspaper, paint, tint,
or any other material reasonably deemed inappropriate for such
use by the Architectural Control Committee ….
I can also see this making it more difficult to sell the remainder of the units, as they would detract potiential buyers.
Update: Cidney provides us the latest status.
The issue regarding Isaac and his gates are between Isaac and MJW and
no one else.
This is a problem for us that both parties created.That said…
Renea, the President of our HOA has contacted the Historical Society
and if you read her email you will see that someone is coming out to
take pictures. If they agree that the fa?ade of the building has been
damaged due to adding these gates then they will contact Isaac.Renea will be copied on all correspondence between the Historic
Preservation Society, the City and everyone else directly involved.Our only involvement is that it is our property and the gates, and the
gates were installed without the Board of Directors permission. And
the gates may put our property tax at risk as well as shelling out a
hefty fine.That said…
We have to wait until the City and the HPS decide the fate of the
gates and our Mills Act Status.
Until then patience is the order of the day.And please no one contact Isaac directly. His problem is with MJW.
I hope this clears up the issue as of now.
