Brookwood (NC)

What Brookwood (NC)'s governing documents say

Brookwood is a condominium community in Chapel Hill, NC, established in 1975 under the North Carolina Unit Ownership Act. It has 61 units in 12 two-story buildings, with common areas including a swimming pool and two tennis courts. This declaration governs unit owners, who automatically become members of the Brookwood Unit Ownership Association.

• What you own & maintain: You own your unit's interior (bounded by interior surfaces of perimeter walls, roof, and floors) and an undivided interest in common areas (land, structural elements, exterior walls, roofs, walks, parking, utilities, pool, tennis courts). The association maintains common elements and carries master insurance.
• Use restrictions: Units are for residential use only. No commercial or professional activity is allowed, except a professional may use a unit as a private office without client visits. No noxious or offensive activities, and no temporary structures, outbuildings, tents, or storage sheds are permitted.
• Pets: Household pets are allowed, but must comply with rules and regulations adopted by the association. No poultry or other animals beyond household pets are permitted.
• Parking & vehicles: Each unit has one assigned parking space. Conventional passenger cars, motorcycles, and motor scooters (with proper mufflers) may park in unscreened areas. Trailers, campers, boats, mobile homes, and vans may only park in designated screened areas.
• Leasing & rentals: Unit owners may lease their units, but tenants must comply with the declaration, bylaws, and rules. The declaration does not specify a minimum lease term or require board approval for leases.
• Architectural review: Unit owners may garden in a 12-foot strip behind their unit, plant shrubs/hedges per rules, and build masonry patios up to 100 sq ft. Decks may be extended from 40 to 150 sq ft (in lieu of a patio). Fencing requires association permission, except deck railings up to 4 feet high. No trees may be planted without permission.
• Mortgages & liens: Unit owners may mortgage their unit without board approval only if the mortgage is a first mortgage to a bank, life insurance company, real estate investment trust, or savings and loan. Other mortgages require board approval. The declaration is subordinate to first mortgages.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include the association's bylaws, rules and regulations, or current fee amounts. It also doesn't specify lease terms, pet size/breed limits, or rental caps. For those details, refer to the full declaration and association documents.
