Dear Trustees,
Please find Article V Section 5.11 (attached). Please read exactly what the condo
documents say about permits.
According to the Declaration of Trust, obtaining permits on behalf of Unit Owners, is the
responsibility of the Trustees and must be "executed by the Trustees only." Trustees are
supposed to get all permits for the addition, alteration or improvement of any Unit.
There is nothing in our condo documents stating that Trustees must review or sign any
permit, nor is any such demand in the approval letter we received from your attorney Matt
Johnson (see attached).
Matt Johnson: "Would you kindly notify your client and/or the contractors to provide all
permits to the Trustees.
Furthermore, Mary Zappas gave verbal approval to our contractor, Frank Raffa
Construction, for him (not the Trustees) to pull the permit. We agreed to provide the
Trustees with a copy and will do so.
Best regards,
Bob
