Morten & 23° Avenue Condominium Association

What Morten & 23° Avenue Condominium Association's governing documents say

This is a condominium community in Phoenix, AZ — you own your individual unit (including the roof) and share ownership of the common elements, which the association maintains and insures. Assessments are split equally among the 12 units (1/12 each). The rules are detailed and restrictive, especially regarding pets, vehicles, and leasing.

• Pets & animals: No animals, birds, fowl, poultry, or livestock are allowed anywhere in the condominium — not inside units or on common elements.
• Vehicles & parking: No mobile homes, trailers, campers, boats, commercial trucks, RVs, or inoperable vehicles may be parked, kept, or repaired on the property. Parking is only in designated areas (assigned Limited Common Element parking spaces). Emergency repairs only; no routine vehicle maintenance.
• Leasing & rentals: Unit owners may lease only their entire unit (not a room). All leases must be in writing, subject to the condominium documents, and the association can prohibit all new rentals (grandfathering existing ones). The board can also evict tenants for rule violations. No assigned parking space can be leased separately.
• Alterations & improvements: Non-structural changes inside your unit do not need approval. Structural changes (including anything affecting structural integrity) require prior written association approval, plus a licensed engineer’s certification that the work won't weaken the building. The association may require a deposit.
• Signs & window coverings: No exterior signs (including 'For Sale' or 'For Rent') are allowed except as permitted by association rules. Reflective window materials (foil, mirror, etc.) are prohibited without approval. Drapes, blinds, and other window coverings affecting exterior appearance also need prior consent.
• Assessments & fees: Common expenses are split equally among all 12 units. New unit owners must pay a working capital fee and a reserve fee, each equal to three months of assessments (non-refundable). Unpaid assessments accrue 18% interest and late fees, and are secured by a lien that can be foreclosed. Special assessments can be levied for capital improvements.
• Maintenance responsibilities: The association maintains all common elements (including garage exteriors and structural components). Unit owners are responsible for their unit's interior, roofs, and all Limited Common Elements (e.g., patios, windows, doors, and parking spaces assigned to their unit). If an owner fails to maintain, the association may step in and charge the cost.
• Insurance: The association carries property insurance on the common elements and units (excluding owner-installed improvements) with 100% replacement cost, plus liability insurance ($1M per occurrence, umbrella up to $4M). Unit owners should get their own coverage for personal property and improvements.
