Making Modifications to Your Unit
In order to protect the value, livability, and physical integrity of Society Hill, formal approval is required before making a broad range of exterior and structural modifications to your unit. These are spelled out in more detail in the Architectural Control Committee Regulations and other documents, but generally, if you wish to replace or change anything that shows on the outside, or affects the interior structure or common areas, prior approval is required.
Some of these things include replacing windows and doors, adding storm doors, attic fans, awnings, patio improvements, landscaping, satellite dishes, wall changes, and the like. To assist you, forms and information are available here; some forms may be submitted online.
Read the Full Architectural Control Committee Regulations (PDF).
These general rules apply to all modifications, and are usually incorporated into any of the special modification request packages listed below. Failure to observe these requirements can lead to violation notices, fines or other consequences. While the Association tries to process all requests in a timely fashion, please allow adequate review time. |
Modification Request Form
Window Replacement |
This form is required for ALL proposed modifications. For simple ones like replacing windows and doors, or new storm doors, this is the only form required, and these are routinely handled. (Contact the Office ahead of time for advice on acceptable design and materials.) For other more complex requests, there are additional information and form packages available below.
The Modification Request Form is available here in two optional formats:
- An online web form that you can fill out and submit with the stroke of a button, even attaching explanatory documents like Word documents, scans, or sketches that you have in electronic form on your computer.
- The same form in PDF format which you can download and print out, and either bring or mail to the Association office.
