Procedure on Fines

The Bylaws (3.2.14) authorize the Board of Directors to levy fines for violations of the Declaration, the Bylaws and/or the House Rules passed by the Board. Complaints about violations must be in writing, with specifics, and sent directly to the Property Management Company, who will then distribute them to the Board for review. The Property Manager will not make judgments about whether a violation has occurred. The Board will authorize all fines only after notice has been sent to the owner and an opportunity for the owner to be heard has been offered. The Board may issue up to two warnings, at their discretion, before levying a fine against the violator. Before a fine is levied, the owner may request a hearing by the Board. The owner must do so within the time designated by the Board in its notice of the possibility that a fine may be levied. Once a hearing with at least three Board members in attendance has been conducted, the decision of the Board is binding.
