Century Village
Building Management Company Claims It Has Right To Enter Any
Unit At Any Time To Determine If Owners Are Compliant With
Rules.
BOCA RATON — The
owners of a unit at Century Village Boca Raton are being
sued by “Dorset at Century Village” because they won’t
permit Comcast entrance to their unit — entrance allegedly
needed to provide cable to a next door neighbor.
Under the declarations allegedly agreed to by owners in the
Dorset building at Century Village is language that property
management claims gives “right of entry by association and
management firm whenever it is necessary to enter any unit
for the purpose of inspection. including inspection to
ascertain a Unit Owner’s compliance with the provisions of
this declaration.”
In simple terms: Century Village management claims it can
enter any unit at any time to see if owners are complying
with rules set by Century Village management.
But owners Michelle, Julia, Antoinette, and Josephine
Martorana apparently are saying, “no way.” They are refusing
to permit entry into their unit for the purpose of
permitting Comcast to fix cable in a neighboring unit. It’s
unclear why Comcast can’t run a separate line into the unit
in question. It is not addressed in the lawsuit. |
