Condo trust document question

Good Morning

I am part of a 2 unit townhouse condo trust. I have discovered that the other owner is making structural changes to an inside wall, one that may be weight bearing. the trust document, separate from master deed, states no structural changes, additions, or modifications can be made without written consent by the trustees. he is 1 and I am the other.

my question is really guidance if there is any on how to proceed?

Is the document solid if I were to hire a lawyer?

Anyone have an experience similar?

Thank you very much for any thoughts you may have.

Tim,

Thanks for reply. that's a thought but I am more interested in the view from the condo trust document and how enforceable it is and is the only way lawyer involvement?

Stanley,

For quick action - make a complaint to the permitting office. They have authority to stop the work immediately.

Regarding Associations, I suspect that your documents, like most Associations, specify that the Association (or any owner) may enforce the covenants through the courts. Combining the fact that someone may have already spent money on some major renovations, it's likely (and I would certainly recommend) that the Association will need to involve an attorney. Initially to get the owners attention and for legal action if the owner doesn't want to comply.
