What Duketower's governing documents say
Duke Tower is a condominium community in Durham, NC, with 114 units across eight two-story buildings, plus a swimming pool and a four-story brick tower as common elements. This declaration creates the condominium and binds all unit owners, their lessees, guests, and mortgagees. It defines what owners own, how the association is run, and the rules for using units and paying assessments.
- What you own & maintain: You own the interior surfaces of your unit's walls, ceilings, and floors. The association maintains all common elements (including the pool and tower) and limited common elements, and you pay assessments for that.
- Leasing & rentals: Short-term occupancy is explicitly permitted, so there is no minimum lease term. All leases must comply with the declaration, and lessees are bound by its rules.
- Occupancy limits: Maximum occupants per unit is the number of bedrooms times two, regardless of age. For example, a 2-bedroom unit can have up to 4 people.
- Pets: This declaration does not mention any pet restrictions. Check the association's rules and regulations for pet policies.
- Assessments & fees: Regular assessments are charged equally per unit, and special assessments require a two-thirds vote of all units. Initial assessment equals two months' regular assessment, due at first closing. Late payments accrue 12% annual interest, and fines for rule violations are capped at $150 per occurrence.
- Insurance: The association must carry property insurance covering at least 80% of insurable replacement value of common elements, and liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence. Unit owners are beneficiaries of the property insurance.
- Use restrictions: Units are for residential use only, with limited home occupations allowed. No noxious or loud activities, no subdivision of units, and window coverings must appear white or off-white from the exterior.
- What this document doesn't cover: This is the declaration only; it does not include the association's bylaws, rules and regulations, or current fee amounts. Those documents may contain additional restrictions (e.g., pet rules, rental policies, architectural guidelines).
