Chateau Park Homeowners Association
RULES
AND REGULATIONS GOVERNING
ROOF
REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR
Chateau Park is
a planned unit development, and homeowners are subject to all
applicable rules and regulations, including those adopted by the
Association’s Board of Directors. As per section G-13 of the
Association Rules and Regulations “no one is permitted on any roof
without prior written authorization from the Board of Directors,”
and in accordance with the policies herein.
Roofs are
not part of the
Association “common area.” Each homeowner is personally responsible
for the maintenance, repair, and/or replacement of all or any part
of the “exclusive use” portion(s) of their
roof(s).
Because roofs
are continuous along the length of each multi-unit building, the
actions of one homeowner doing repair or replacement work could
infringe on the exclusive use rights of another homeowner, and/or
compromise the integrity of the roofs of other owners.
These Rules and Regulations are intended to govern the scope and
implementation of work done on roofs in order to protect the rights
of other homeowners, and to insure that roofs retain a uniform
appearance that conforms to the maximum extent possible with the
original roof tile and design.
1.
The
original tiles used throughout the complex have a lifetime
manufacturers’ guarantee against wear and/or breakage under normal
use. Any defective tile will be replaced by the manufacturer
without charge (tiles only, not installation) for the life of the
building. See
attached
2.
Prior to
entering on a roof, homeowners must contact the management company,
and request permission to access their exclusive use area of the
roof, to detail the reasons, and to describe work that will be done
using the Association’s Architectural
Approval Request form. No
work can commence prior to obtaining written Board approval and all
applicable local permits.
3.
As
part of the submission to the management company, homeowners must
provide the name and address of the roofing company that will do
the work, including a copy of their current liability insurance
certificate for no less the aggregate sum of $2,000,000,
indemnifying and holding Chateau Park Homeowners Association
harmless against any and all claims for injury or damage of any
kind while on Association property and/or on the exclusive use
section of the homeowner’s roof.
4.
Authorization
from the Board will extend only to access to the homeowner’s
“exclusive use” portion of the roof, and may not infringe upon any
other portion of the roof. This includes crossing an adjacent
roof for any reason. For purposes of these rules and
regulations, the “exclusive use area” of the roof shall be defined
as where each homeowner’s common living space wall with each other
homeowner’s common living space wall begins and/or
ends.
5.
If
the work involves replacement of tiles, the management company has
the manufacturer name and style of the tiles for each building that
are authorized for use. No other tile can be used, and enforcement
action will be taken against any homeowner who is found to be in
violation.
a.
If
the repair requires replacement of only a few roof tiles, the
Association has a very limited supply of original tiles that will
be made available for as long as the supply
lasts.
b.
If
the supply of Association original tiles has been exhausted and a
partial repair is needed on the front side of the unit, then
original tiles from the rear of the unit shall be removed and used,
and replaced with the new tiles on the rear. This is to
conform with the policy as set forth at the beginning that the
appearance of the unit from the cul-de-sac and street remains as
uniform with the entire building as possible.
Most roof leaks
are the result of tears in the roofing felt that underlies the
tiles. Replacement of an entire roof can be disruptive,
costly, and often unnecessary. Homeowners shall deal only
with reputable licensed and bonded roofing companies to determine
whether removing roof tiles to do a simple repair of the underlying
roofing paper and then replacing the original tiles will solve the
problem.
6.
In
the event of emergency repairs homeowners may proceed to take
action on an urgency basis to solve the immediate problem, but only
using a licensed, bonded, and insured roofer. Homeowner shall
notify the Association Management as soon as possible thereafter,
and get written authorization as per these Rules and Regulation to
do any further roof work.

Company
