Building Maintenance
HOA Responsibilities
When you purchased your townhouse you agreed that a third party, the HOA, had partial responsibility for some areas of your home. The Association has affirmative- and limited- maintenance, repair, and replacement obligations pursuant to Article IV, Section 2 of the Declaration. In other words, even though the Association has no ownership interest in your townhouse, it has certain legal obligations with respect to some specified areas of maintenance, repair, and replacement of your dwelling.
The Board has reviewed the Governing Documents with the assistance of our attorney, who only practices HOA Law. From that meeting we have compiled a LIST of HOA vs Owner Building Maintenance Responsibilitiesto assist homeowners with what on your property is covered by the HOA. This list does not supersede our Governing Documents but is to help clarify those documents.
