Some of the condos in our HOA community have porches with an overhead trellis consisting of mock gables/timbers supported by 2 stucco(all the exterior is stucco)columns.
The trellises are attractive, and they afford shade as well as more privacy on the porch.
Citing waterproofing concerns, the HOA is having all trellises/stucco columns supporting them demolished, leaving porches w/far less attractive plain stucco parapets(short wall around 2nd story porch)
We are told the porch, which is on the 2nd floor and only accessible by us, is common area. How can that be so?
What can we do to stop the HOA from ruining our porch?
