What is the name of your state? Pennsylvania
I just received a letter from the Condo Association accusing me of non-compliance with association rules and regulations because there is a stone walkway on common property from my patio to the sidewalk. The letter further states that I am to correct this violation within 7 days or face a monetary fine. I also have the option of requesting a hearing, which I think is ludicrous because I didn't do it and they have no proof that I did.
I just recently purchased this property in June 2005 and the stone walkway was already installed at that time. I have no idea how long it has been there or who actually put it there, and neither do they, for that matter.
I haven't contacted the Board yet. I'm still in shock and I don't know how to respond.
Can they hold me responsible for this? Do I need a lawyer?
