REMODELING
a. Homeowners
remodeling their unit shall provide the Board of Directors
with a copy of the proposed
plans. Approval
by the Board of Directors is required for all remodeling
which will impact structural elements in individual units
and/or limited common areas, common areas, or affect in any
manner the common heating, ventilating, water, plumbing,
electrical, cable television or other facilities or
systems.
b.
When any element of remodeling requires Board of Directors
approval, the Board may hire architects and engineers to
analyze the plans for impact on other areas of the
building. Any cost incurred in the review of the
proposed
plans will be
charged back to the homeowner. Failure to follow this rule
is subject to fine or work stoppage by the Board of
Directors.
c. Remodeling
that involves noise, contaminants or other conditions which
may significantly impact others must be approved by the
Board of Directors and may require modifications in working
hours, types of tools used, notification to owners or other
similar conditions to minimize the impact. In this
situation, remodeling must be confined to Monday-Friday,
9:00AM-4:00PM. Remodeling will not be allowed on holidays
or weekends.
d.
Homeowners shall be responsible for all clean-up and
related expense in connection with remodeling. Clean-up
must be done on a daily basis.
e.
A damage deposit of at least $500 but depending on project
duration (see Appendix B) is required in advance from the
homeowner, to secure contractors working in the respective
unit. Checks should be made payable to the Grandview
Homeowners Association. The deposit will be returned to the
homeowner, subject to the terms of Section f.
f.
If elevator or common area damage or soil has occurred as a
result of a contractor working in a unit, the deposit will
be held until necessary repairs are made and the costs
determined. The repair costs will be deducted from the
deposit and the difference returned to the homeowner.
Should the cost of the repair exceed the deposit, the
homeowner will be billed for the balance (see also
ELEVATORS).
g.
Homeowners are responsible for front and back door security
during remodeling and for protecting common area from
damage or soil. It is the responsibility of the homeowner
to instruct contractors on these issues.
h.
In addition to the above, a complete Remodel Policy is
provided in Appendix B.
