The Building 3 governing documents require that alterations or improvements to a Unit "… be done without disturbing the rights of other Unit Owners and further provided that the completed work shall not have the effect of disturbing the rights of other Unit Owners; and further provided that a Unit Owner shall make no changes or alterations to any Unit boundary wall, outside wall, floor or flooring, ceiling, balcony or patio, windows, screening, exterior door, structural or load bearing member, electrical service or plumbing service, or install hurricane shutters without first obtaining the written approval of the Board of Directors.¹"

This procedure is intended to protect the neighbors and the building. Some examples of modifications that have the potential for adverse impacts are:

• Flooring: When the flooring in a unit on Floor 2 or above is replaced, a sound-reduction underlay must be installed to reduce the sound that travels to the unit below.
• Air conditioners: A replacement air conditioner condenser cabinet must fit within the space that is assigned to the unit and must not encroach upon the space for the neighboring units. A drip pan with a cut-off switch must be provided under the air handler to reduce the risk that a clogged condensate drain will result in an overflow of water that damages the unit below. [More info.]
• Hot water heaters: The size and placement of a replacement hot water heater must be accommodated in the available space and not encroach upon the space assigned to the neighbors.
• Windows and doors must be compatible in appearance² with existing new windows and doors that have been installed. The perimeter sealant must be installed according to the manufacturer's instructions to maintain the integrity of the building envelope.
