La Estrella Vista

What La Estrella Vista's governing documents say

La Estrella Vista is a condominium community in Phoenix, AZ – you own your individual unit and share ownership of the building's common elements. The association maintains the common areas and enforces the rules; unit owners are responsible for their unit interiors and certain limited common elements. This document, the Declaration, is the primary rulebook binding all unit owners.

• What you own & maintain: You own the interior of your unit (finished surfaces, interior partitions, fixtures); the association maintains the common elements like building exteriors, roofs, and shared amenities. Limited common elements (e.g., balcony, designated parking space) are yours to maintain.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing, with an initial term of at least six months (unless Board approves shorter). You must provide a copy of the lease to the association at least 10 days before occupancy. You are liable for any rule violations by your tenant.
• Pets: Only common household pets allowed, no more than two dogs per unit. No pet may exceed 20 pounds unless it's a service animal. Pets must be leashed (max 6 feet) outside and cannot relieve themselves on common areas; owners must clean up immediately.
• Parking & vehicles: No commercial vehicles, RVs, boats, or trailers may be parked on the property except in a designated parking space. Trucks under 1-ton and similar family vehicles are allowed. No vehicle may be repaired or stored inoperable; the association can tow violators at the owner's expense.
• Architectural review: Structural changes inside your unit require prior written Board approval and a licensed engineer's certification that the work won't impair the building. Any exterior change (even non-structural) that's visible from outside also needs Board approval. No window coverings, antennas, or satellite dishes without approval.
• Assessments & fees: Common expenses are split equally among all 96 units (each pays 1/96). The association can levy regular and special assessments. Late or unpaid assessments create a lien on your unit. The association may also impose monetary penalties for violations.
• Use & occupancy restrictions: Units must be used as a single-family residence – occupied by related persons or up to three unrelated individuals. No business may be conducted that is visible or audible from outside, though home offices with limited outside traffic are allowed. No nuisances, no temporary structures, and no clotheslines.
