Hawthorne Park Condominiums

What Hawthorne Park Condominiums's governing documents say

Hawthorne Park Condominiums is a condominium community in Wilmington, NC — you own your individual unit and share ownership of the building's common elements. The association manages the property, maintains common areas, and carries master insurance. This document is the full declaration of condominium that establishes the legal framework for the community.

• What you own & maintain: You own the interior of your unit, including interior surfaces, non-load-bearing walls, windows, exterior doors, and individual HVAC equipment. The association maintains the common elements (foundations, roofs, exterior walls, hallways, parking areas, and utility infrastructure serving multiple units). Limited common elements like decks and storage spaces are for your exclusive use but maintained by the association.
• Use restrictions: Units are for single-family residential use only. No immoral, offensive, or unlawful uses are allowed. No structural modifications or exterior changes (painting, antennas, signs) without board approval. No grills on stairways, porches, or decks. No boats, trailers, or motor homes may be stored on the property. Satellite dishes require written approval.
• Pets: The association may require you to remove a pet if it becomes a nuisance. No specific pet limit is stated in this document, but the board can adopt rules.
• Leasing & rentals: Units may be rented or leased long-term. No minimum lease term is specified in this document, but the board may adopt rules. Leases must comply with all governing documents.
• Parking & vehicles: The association has the exclusive right to assign parking spaces and designate their use. No boats, trailers, or motor homes may be stored on the property.
• Assessments & fees: Each unit owner must pay assessments for common expenses based on their allocated interest (percentage of total square footage). Assessments are set by the board and cannot be avoided by waiving use of common areas. The association may levy fines up to $150 per day for violations.
• Insurance: The association carries hazard and liability insurance (minimum $1,000,000) on the building and common areas. Unit owners may obtain their own insurance for personal property and unit improvements. Flood insurance is required if the property is in a flood hazard zone.
• Amendments & termination: The declaration can be amended by the declarant before all units are sold, or later by a 75% vote of unit owners. Unanimous consent is needed for changes to allocated interests, boundaries, or use restrictions. The condominium can be terminated only by written agreement of all unit owners and lienholders.
