Avian at Grayhawk Condominium

What Avian at Grayhawk Condominium's governing documents say

Avian at Grayhawk is a 188-unit condominium community in Scottsdale, Arizona, part of the larger Grayhawk master-planned community. You own your individual unit and automatically become a member of the homeowners' association, which maintains the building structure and common areas. Your property is also governed by the Grayhawk Master Association and The Retreat Village Association, each of which imposes additional covenants, restrictions, and assessments.

• What you own & maintain: You own your unit's interior, including finished surfaces, doors, windows, and attached garage. The association maintains the building structure (roof, bearing walls, foundations), exterior, common areas (parking, landscaping, pools, recreational facilities), and utility systems serving multiple units or common areas. Your fractional interest in common elements is 1/188th once all five phases are completed.
• Governance & voting: Each unit has exactly one vote in the association, regardless of size. You automatically become a member when you purchase a unit. During the developer's 'Period of Declarant Control' (90 days after 75% of units are sold, five years from first sale, or four years after sales end—whichever is earliest), the developer appoints the board and officers.
• Assessments & ongoing costs: You pay regular assessments to cover common expenses: maintenance, management, utilities (for common areas), trash, landscaping, pool service, insurance, and reserves. The association can also levy capital improvement assessments and special assessments for unexpected costs or owner-caused repairs. Unpaid assessments create a lien on your unit and accrue late charges and interest.
• Part of multi-layer community: Your property is subject to three separate governing associations: the Avian at Grayhawk Neighborhood Association (your condominium), the Grayhawk Master Association, and The Retreat Village Association. Each imposes its own covenants, restrictions, and assessments, and you cannot waive them even if you don't use the common areas.
• Maintenance obligations & enforcement: You are responsible for maintaining your unit's interior, windows, pipes serving only your unit, and attached systems (AC, hot water heater, garage door opener). If you fail to maintain your unit or violate restrictions, the board gives you 15 days' written notice; if you don't comply, the association can perform the work and assess the full cost to you as a special assessment.
• Restrictions & covenants: The declaration imposes various restrictions on signs, nuisances, parking and vehicles, external fixtures, window covers, laundry, speakers, landscaping, alterations, architectural modifications, roof repairs, garage doors, and waterbeds. Specific rules and enforcement procedures are detailed in sections 9.1–9.25 of the full declaration.
• Planned expansion: The condominium is being developed in five phases. Phases 2–5 are automatically added when the first unit in each phase is sold. As phases are added, every existing unit owner's fractional interest and common expense obligation are proportionally adjusted.
• What this excerpt does not cover: This excerpt does not show the full text of sections on pets/animals, leasing/rental restrictions, detailed architectural review procedures, or the complete list of specific restrictions in sections 9.1–9.25. The original document is considerably longer.
