Q.What recourse does the HOA have if a homeowner makes an alteration or improvement without HOA approval?
A.If a homeowner owner alters the premises without required homeowner association (HOA) approval, the HOA can order the homeowner to immediately cease all work and restore any altered areas to their original state. If the homeowner fails to comply, the HOA can perform the restoration itself and thereafter assess the costs to the homeowner. If the HOA fails to enforce its rules, it may find it more difficult to enforce a similar restriction in the future.
Every HOA should have written policy for discovering and responding to violations of alteration restrictions.
