Concrete Driveway Deterioration

> I am looking for specific criteria which is measurable and would hold up in Court.

Why on earth would you need that?

This is ALWAYS going to be a judgement call. It's not like a bridge that is either standing or not standing.

To ME deteriorated means substantial amounts of spalling or cracking. But settlement cracks not resulting in significant gaps or steps would not be deteriorated enough to warrant replacement.

Any number of reasons. HOA tells you your driveway has to be replaced and you disagree. Or maybe the HOA has the responsibility to maintain driveways and some are in need of replacement but the HOA is refusing to do it. Worse, maybe they are replacing some but not all and possibly showing favoritism towards some owners at the expense of others.

Why is this needed? When an HOA Board wants our management company to issue a questionable violation for a concrete driveway needing to be replaced. With a cost of $5000 to replace the concrete driveway the homeowner may says NO. Thus for the Board to enforce their decision may require going to court.

As a management company we will only issue a violation when there is a clear case or perhaps at the request of a Board when there is a Rule which is clearly defined. So can you quantify the words you provided, i.e., "significant gaps" and "deteriorated enough"?
