The Sexton Condominiums

What The Sexton Condominiums's governing documents say

The Sexton Condominiums is a 4-unit condominium in Wilmington, NC, where you own your unit and share ownership of common elements. This declaration establishes the condominium form of ownership and sets rules for use, maintenance, and alterations. Unit D is for retail/office use; Units A, B, and C are for residential/office use.

• What you own & maintain: You own the interior of your unit, including interior walls and partitions you add. The association maintains common elements (e.g., building exterior, common areas). You are responsible for maintenance and repair within your unit, including HVAC, appliances, plumbing, electrical, and interior surfaces. You also maintain glass in doors/windows and screens (limited common elements).
• Use restrictions: Unit D is limited to retail and office use (no food or liquor). Units A, B, and C may be used for residential and office purposes. No immoral, improper, offensive, or unlawful use is allowed. You cannot do anything that increases insurance rates, obstructs others' rights, or creates a nuisance.
• Alterations & signage: Structural modifications or exterior changes (including painting, antennas, or anything protruding through walls/roof) require prior written association consent. However, first- and second-floor unit owners may place signage (up to 4 sq. ft.) on common elements or windows/doors without prior consent, though the association can require removal by a two-thirds vote of directors and members.
• Insurance: The association carries casualty insurance on buildings and common elements (at least 80% of replacement value) and liability insurance. Unit owners may obtain their own insurance for their unit and personal property. Insurance proceeds are used first for repair/restoration; any surplus is distributed to owners or lienholders.
• Reconstruction after damage: Damaged property must be repaired or replaced promptly unless the condominium is terminated, repair is illegal, or 80% of owners (including 100% of affected unit owners) vote not to rebuild. Costs exceeding insurance and reserves are common expenses.
• Right of entry: The association may enter your unit in an emergency without notice. For maintenance of common elements or adjacent units, entry is allowed at reasonable times with reasonable advance notice.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include specific rules about pets, leasing (minimum lease terms), parking, or assessment amounts. Those may be in other sections of the declaration, bylaws, or association rules.
