ARCHITECTURAL GUIDELINES FOR HOME IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
If you are thinking of doing a home improvement project that will 1) involve electrical work, plumbing, replacing your floor or 2) be be visible from the pathways, parking lot, or street, please download, complete, and submit a Modification Request Form (MRF) before you start. Here is a checklist showing the documents you will need to submit a complete application. Once the property manager receives your completed MRF they will approve it or ask you for more information. Be aware that if your project requires a city permit, it is your responsibility to find that out and acquire it.
GENERAL RULES & REGULATIONS
MBHOA's Rules & Regulations cover a wide range of topics in greater detail than the Bylaws and CCRs (see last paragraph) including parking, use of the pool / exercise room / laundry room, pets, storage cabinets / lockers, garbage & recycling, what can and can't be placed on balconies, signs, etc. We ask all residents to be aware of the rules and comply with them.
GOVERNING DOCUMENTS
Governing documents are similar to a city's municipal code: they contain a host of provisions and policies that dictate how MBHOA is governed, how maintenance and repair responsibility is parsed, what is expected of residents and owners, etc. Click Bylaws or CCRs (Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions) to view the document you want to read. Here is an extract from the CCRs that describes how maintenance responsibility is parsed between MBHOA and individual owners.
