Bylaws Violation Notification and Resolution
NOTE: This is currently in draft form and will be presented to the BOD at the March Annual Meeting for adoption. Any comments below will be considered. Please however try to attend the meeting to provide comments. Thank you!
The following is all taken directly out of the Bylaws Article XV.
Please take note, neither the BOD or any assignee has any authority to inspect your private property as defined in the Declaration. In other words, the Board, nor any of it’s designated agents, can enter your house and perform an inspection. Inspection of your private property is not authorized in any of Sussex Square Condominium’s governing documents. However the County has the authority to inspect your private property under certain conditions, but none of which can be initiated by the BOD.
The only exception to this is the exterior parts of your private property that align with the exterior walls of the buildings, and then only condition, style and color can be inspected as per the declaration. While the doors and windows are the private property of the unit owner, the frames around them are owned by the association as being part of the building structure, but the homeowner is responsible for maintaining those frames.
An inspection of the whole community can be initiated by scheduling and notifying the community of the inspection.
An inspection of a specific unit’s limited common elements can be initiated by a Council member if the Council member presents clear and convincing evidence that the subject unit’s limited common elements areas are in violation of the bylaws.
An inspection of a specific unit’s limited common elements will be initiated when the unit is on the market to be sold and the seller or purchaser requests the resale package through the management agent company or any other channels previously established by the BOD. (As of 2026, the management agent is contracted to process the resale package.)
