HOA Front Door Replacement [NJ] [Condo]
I have lived in my condo for approximately 4 years. Never had any problems but the HOA left a note on my door stating that my front door was not in compliance because it has a window. The note states I need to take immediate action to replace the front door with a "6 panel door with no window."
They attached the by-law reference but it makes no sense. It states that following....
"Unit Owner shall not have any right to paint or otherwise decorate or change the appearance of any portion of the exterior of any building without prior written consent of the Association."
This door has probably been there for 30 years. I never changed it, never painted it, never touched it.
I looked through the massive handbook I was given when I moved in and cannot find anything about the Association not allowing windows on doors. Which again, apparently has not been a problem for decades and decades. We checked other units and they have windows on their doors.
Does anyone know if NJ has some grandfathered in rules? I don't feel like it is right for me to pay for something that was not installed by me and there are no rules against it that I can find.
Really appreciate any help
