On April 1, 2026, I issued a formal deficiency notice after requested records related to a prior architectural violation were not provided.
This request was made under Maryland Real Property §11-116, which gives homeowners the right to access certain Association records.
📄 What’s Outstanding
The following records have not been provided, and no clarification has been given as to whether they exist, are being withheld, or will be produced:
- Board authorization or meeting minutes related to the violation
- Inspection reports or documentation supporting the violation
- Any rules or guidance related to antenna installations (including FCC OTARD protections)
- Records showing how similar installations have been handled in the community
⚠️ Why This Matters
Providing explanations or partial responses does not replace access to actual records.
Documentation is important to ensure:
- Decisions are properly authorized
- Enforcement is consistent
- Actions are supported by records
🧾 What Was Requested
The Association was asked to:
- Provide the requested records within 10 days
- Confirm in writing if records do not exist
- Identify any records being withheld and the legal basis for doing so
🧠Current Status
- Records requested
- No records provided
- Deficiency notice issued
- Awaiting response
đź“Ś Final Thought
This isn’t about disagreement—it’s about ensuring actions are documented, transparent, and consistent.
Transparency benefits everyone.
