What Brownstones on Bowser Condominiums's governing documents say
Brownstones On Bowser Condominiums is a condominium community in Highland Park, TX — you own your unit and share the common elements. The governing documents include a 2019 declaration for The Alto Townhomes on Hall (a residential condominium with 20 units) and an older 1978 declaration for Gilbert Street Condominiums (11 units). The rules below are based on the more recent Alto Townhomes declaration, which governs the community's use, leasing, pets, and parking.
- What you own & maintain: You own your unit's interior, including interior surfaces, and must maintain and repair all utility lines, systems, and appliances within your unit (e.g., HVAC, plumbing). You are also responsible for windows and glass doors. The association maintains the common elements (land, foundations, roofs, hallways, etc.) and carries master insurance.
- Use restrictions: Units may be used only as single-family residences. No commercial activity is allowed, except for incidental home-based businesses that are not visible or audible from outside and do not involve client visits. Short-term rentals (e.g., Airbnb) are banned.
- Leasing & rentals: No more than 10% of units (2 units) may be leased at any time. Leases must be in writing, for at least 3 months, and the entire unit must be rented. The board may require termination of a lease if the tenant violates the rules.
- Pets: No more than two dogs, cats, or customary household pets per unit. Exotic pets are prohibited. Pets must be leashed outside, waste must be cleaned up, and pets may not be a nuisance.
- Parking & vehicles: Only regular passenger vehicles or pickup trucks with ≤1 ton capacity may be parked in the community, and must be parked in the garage. No recreational vehicles, trailers, or boats allowed. Street parking is prohibited; driveway parking limited to 48 consecutive hours. One guest parking space is available for visitors.
- Alterations & appearance: You may decorate interiors freely, but structural alterations or changes to the exterior (including window coverings and paint) require board approval. Window coverings must be white or off-white from the outside.
- Assessments & fees: Each owner pays a monthly common expense charge proportional to their unit's ownership interest (each unit has an equal 5% interest). Special assessments may be approved by owners. The association maintains a replacement reserve fund.
- What this document doesn't cover: The provided text does not include specific details about age restrictions, income limits, or architectural review committee procedures. It also lacks any mention of assessments amounts, amenities, or rules for the older 1978 condominium.
