COOPERATIVE AND CONDOMINIUM DEFINED

The question is frequently asked as to the difference between a cooperative and a condominium. Both are “common interest” associations of residents but with legally different methods of manifesting ownership.

A “condominium” is defined as a common-interest community in which “portions of the real estate are designated for separate ownership solely by owners of those portions.” Thus each owner of a condominium has a deed to his unit and an individual interest in the common elements.

A “cooperative” is defined as a common-interest community in which the real estate is owned by a corporation, each of whose shareholders is entitled by virtue of his ownership of stock in said corporation to exclusive possession of a unit. The cooperative association holds legal title to both the units and common elements. A purchaser of a cooperative apartment unit has a legal interest in that unit rather than the parcel of real estate within the unit boundaries. This legal interest consists of the member’s right to possession of a unit under a proprietary lease coupled with the allocated interests of that unit. For this purpose, “allocated interests” is a defined term that means “the common expense liability and the ownership interest and votes in the association.”

BOWER HILL AT MT. LEBANON CO. was incorporated on September 30, 1976, becoming the first cooperative apartment building in this area.

The Bower Hill at Mt. Lebanon complex consists of two buildings, the General Neville at 1150 Bower Hill Road and the Brackenridge at 1160 Bower Hill Road, occupying 17 acres of attractively landscaped grounds in Mt. Lebanon, Pa. This community’s educational and recreational facilities, as well as its fire and police protection, have gained for it a national reputation for excellence.

There are 135 apartments in the General Neville and 141 apartments in the Brackenridge. Construction of the Neville was completed in the fall of 1967, and the Brackenridge in the summer of 1970. The two buildings are Class I fireproof construction with concrete floors and load-bearing masonry walls separating the apartments. Each building has a gas hot water heating system. Gas is also used for domestic hot water and for cooking. Air-conditioning is supplied from a central system.

The operation of Bower Hill at Mt. Lebanon is vested in a Board of Directors elected by the unit owners. The Board is authorized under the By-laws to retain professional Management to handle the day-to-day operation of the buildings and the cooperative’s fiscal affairs. The Management office is located on the third floor of the General Neville building.

DESCRIPTION OF GOVERNANCE

BOWER HILL AT MT. LEBANON CO.


The Bower Hill at Mt. Lebanon Cooperative Association operates under a REPRESENTATIVE FORM OF GOVERNANCE. All Board members are elected by the shareholders for staggered terms, generally for two (2) years. The Board members themselves then elect Board officers for a one year period, i.e.: President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. However, all members of the Board are voting members.

The Bower Hill operating framework was created by state statute(s) and further defined by the governing documents (as recorded in the Public Record of Allegheny County) for the Association. All action(s) taken by the Board must be consistent and compliant with these governing standards.

The Board of Directors will make all policy decisions, with input and counsel from management. Each year Capital and Operating Budgets are presented to the governing Board for discussion (including revisions if necessary) and final adoption.

The Board President is the contact person assigned to interface with the management team. The President may appoint ad hoc and standing committees to address building-specific issues. The President will also deliver a year-end “State of the Association Report” at the Annual Meeting of shareholders.

The Vice President substitutes for the President when the President is unavailable.

The Secretary will oversee the receipt and recording of proxies, see that Minutes are taken at all meetings, and the Secretary is in charge of maintaining records of Official meeting notices (kept in the site manager’s office). The Secretary will prepare/initiate all Official Notices, including announcing any Annual or Special shareholder meeting(s).

The Treasurer will receive, from managing agents Arnehim & Neely, a monthly report of receipts and disbursements. A monthly and year-to-date budget comparison will be distributed to all Board members (including the Treasurer), and the Treasurer will deliver or participate in any financial discussions at the Board level or financial presentations to the shareholders. The Treasurer will deliver a year-end and year-to-date financial report at the Annual Meeting of shareholders, and assist in the development of the Annual budgets.

While not required by the by-laws the Board is currently holding monthly open meetings. This can change periodically and proper and timely notice will be provided to the shareholders well in advance of the scheduled meeting. All shareholders are encouraged to attend the open meetings.

*A detailed information package on the Bower Hill Coop By-Laws can be obtained at the management office (General Neville Bldg.1), or on the internet at: http://www.bowerhillonline.net/

GENERAL RULES
Bower Hill at Mt. Lebanon
Rules & Regulations


These Rules and Regulations were developed with the following concepts in mind:
  1. Regulations will be enforced consistently.
  2. When a regulation is not beneficial, it will be changed.
  3. It is understood that every regulation will not satisfy every resident/owner; however, it is required that we all cooperate.
  4. These Rules & Regulations may be amended by a majority vote of the board.
The Board of Directors welcomes your constructive suggestions and criticisms. All comments, complaints, or suggestions for change should be submitted in writing to the Board of Directors through Management.

  1. In regard to the persons who may be occupants of and/or reside in any apartment, the provisions of ARTICLE V, Section 4 of the BY-LAWS and ARTICLE III, FOURTH and FIFTH of the Proprietary Lease are paramount. However, it is recognized that the Shareholder/Lessee may have, from time to time, persons who will visit and/or reside with the Shareholder/Lessee for a period of time and who do not fall within the permissible “members of Lessee’s family” delineated in the aforesaid documents. As to such persons the following will apply and will be observed:

    1. The term “guest” is defined as one or more persons who are not “members of Lessee’s family”, who visit and/or reside with the Lessee in the apartment of Lessee for not more than thirty (30) days in any calendar year.
    2. Lessees shall be responsible for their guests and their guests’ conduct in accordance with the provisions of the Proprietary Lease and all Rules and Regulations and shall submit the names and permanent addresses of such guests to the Corporation.
    3. In the event that a Lessee desires to have any person, other than a “member of Lessee’s family”, reside in the apartment with Lessee for a period longer than specified in paragraph “a” above, said Lessee must sponsor any such person to be a “temporary resident,” for a period not to exceed six (6) months, by written application on a form provided by the Corporation. The said form, completed and signed by the proposed temporary resident and signed by the sponsoring Lessee, shall be submitted to the Corporation manager who shall transmit same to the Membership Committee. The Membership Committee shall consider the application, may require interview with the proposed temporary resident, and shall make recommendation to the Board of Directors, whose decision for approval or disapproval shall be final.
    4. Reapplication for an additional six months may be made by a “temporary resident” in the same manner as outlined in paragraph “c” above.


  2. No persons shall do any act that conflicts with the rules and ordinances of the Municipality of Mount Lebanon.

  3. Moving and/or delivery of household furniture must be coordinated through the Management office and is to be done only from Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M., and accomplished through the vehicle door entrance of Level G-1. The only exception, for delivery only, is the first Saturday of each month from 8:00 A.M. to Noon. If you wish to schedule a delivery on a “First Saturday” you must notify the office, and you also must plan to be at home to receive the delivery.

    In the event that the freight elevator becomes compromised or inoperable prior to or during a move, the freight elevator will remain padded and the moving time will be extended until 8:00 PM that same day in order for the move to be completed.

    At no time will the inconvenience of a delayed move due to an inoperable freight elevator be considered an emergency situation, and at no time will the passenger elevator be utilized for a move.

  4. A $300 deposit by cash or check made payable to “Bower Hill Escrow Account” must be made by persons moving in or out and delivered to the Management Office. Management will inspect the public areas in the presence of the resident moving in or out of the building to determine in advance the condition of the public areas that will be involved in the move. Any defects are to be recorded on a form provided by management. The same procedure is to be followed upon completion of the moving. The cost of any damage found by this inspection is to be deducted from the deposit, and the balance, if any, is to be returned to the resident. If damage is judged to be in excess of $200, the resident is to pay such reasonable estimate of these costs at that time. The remaining $100 is for any rule violation that should occur during the move in or out activity. The rules are to be followed by hired movers or any people assisting with the move. When a rule violation occurs the Management Office will issue a fine, and this amount will be deducted from the $100. The Management Office will determine the amount of the fine.

  5. Small items may be left by or for residents at the Gatehouse and will be received by the security guards as agents of said resident and not of the Corporation. The Corporation shall not be responsible for any loss or damage to such property. It is the responsibility of the resident to pick up such property at the Gatehouse. Employees are not permitted to deliver such items to the resident at their apartment.

  6. Carts to convey groceries or other bulky items shall be taken from and must be returned to the loading space of the elevators on Level G-1 and the elevator lobby of G-2.

  7. No person, including any resident, shall enter or go through either apartment building for the purpose of vending, peddling, or soliciting orders for any merchandise, book, periodical, or circular of any kind or nature whatsoever; or for the purpose of soliciting donations or contributions for, or membership in, any public or private organization whatsoever; or for the purpose of distributing any handbill, pamphlet, circular, tract, book, notice, or advertising matter. However, all the above activities may be made with written consent of Management, or they may be made within the apartment of any resident if the prior written consent or invitation of such resident shall have previously been furnished or exhibited by Management.

  8. No commercial enterprises involving the buying and selling of merchandise or dispensing of services involving the entrance and exit of patrons shall be permitted on the premises.

  9. The sidewalks, parking areas, drives, corridors, vestibules, public areas, entries, stairways, lobbies, elevators, and fire stairs shall not be obstructed, cluttered or used for any purpose other than ingress to and egress from the buildings and apartments.

No sign, signal illumination, advertisement, notice, any other lettering, and no other equipment or equipment peripherals shall be exposed on or at any window, or on any part of the outside of the apartment or the building, or on the grounds of the complex. Seasonal decorations must be removed within a reasonable time period, and illuminated holiday decorations must be turned off no later than January 15th of the New Year.

  11. Awnings or sun shields shall be uniform for all units. The type and installation is to be approved by management prior to the installation. Starting in year 2017 any new or replacement awnings must be Sunbrella style 4799 grey/black with white stripe. Existing white awnings will be grandfathered until replacement. Each shareholder who chooses to have an awning is responsible or the care and upkeep of that awning at their own expense. Shareholders, who choose not to replace an existing awning for any reason, will be required to remove the framework from the exterior of the building within one year (4 seasons), at their own expense. The decision whether or not an awning meets the community standards of the Bower Hill at Mt. Lebanon will be determined by a yearly inspection. At that time recommendations would go to the Board of Directors for appropriate action.

  12. Occupants shall not have the right to change the appearance or alter any portion of the exterior of the building, including but not limited to the balcony railing, ceiling, or sliding doors, without completing an exterior alterations form 72 hours prior to commencing work. It is to be understood that a “white” or “off-white” is the required color for the balcony ceiling, “aluminum” is the required color for the balcony railings, and Rubbed Bronze (Rustoleum) is the required color for the sliding door frames.

Carpeting, resilient tile, or other goods such as vinyl flexible floor tile may be installed in kitchens without prior approval. Wood or ceramic tile may be considered for kitchens or entryways; however, a sound-control underlayment must be used for kitchen installations and written approval of product and method of installation must be secured from management before installation can be made. Replacement ceramic tile is permissible in baths without prior approval.

    The expansion of a kitchen that involves the removal of non bearing walls must be discussed and approved by the Office before any work is initiated, so that management, maintenance, resident, and contractor are in agreement on how to proceed.

Should there be a claim of damage, the resident will be notified immediately of the claim, and if the resident disputes the damage claim it will be reported to the Board of Directors for review and final decision.

      6. In the event of property damage to the Party Room or elsewhere in the building related to the use of the Party Room, separate billing by Management to the resident will ensue.

      16. Any resident whose guests flagrantly abuse the use of the Party Room and the common areas will have their rights to use the Party Room denied for a period of one year.



    7. PRIVATE CONTRACTORS

        All contractors, with no exceptions, must report to the office PRIOR to beginning any work for a contractor's information package. This package must be filled out by the contractor and submitted to the office before any work can proceed.

      1. All contractors must provide the office with a valid insurance certificate before any work can proceed. Failure to provide this will result in the contractor being prohibited from doing any work on Bower Hill Property.

      2. All contractors must read and abide by the property policies regarding trash, noise, work hours and moving/storing supplies or equipment.

      3. All contractors must complete a CONTRACTOR'S INFORMATION FORM and submit it to the office providing the name of the company, the resident and unit # for the work being done, the type of work being done, the estimated time of completion and the contract names and phone numbers of the persons performing the work.
        See "FORMS" (Page 1) for the CONTRACTOR'S INFORMATION FORM.

      4. Any contractor that requires keys from the gatehouse must sign them out when received and turn them in at the end of each day they are on site. No keys are to be kept overnight.

        Our objective here is to help insure that only quality contractors provide our residents with the services they are paying for. In many cases our residents are not familiar with the complexities of the work being done. These policies are just another layer that helps protect our residents from inferior work or inexperienced contractors.



    8. Procedures to Govern Infringement of
      Bower Hill at Mt. Lebanon Co.
      Bylaws And House Rules and Regulations


      PREAMBLE:
      Clearly none of us wants to be policed in our own homes, yet because of the communal nature of this cooperative housing partnership and the obligations that we owe one another, and expect of one another in terms of being “good responsible neighbors”, we need to have rules that govern a standard of care and behavior at Bower Hill. Over the years, the shareholders of this Association have adopted a series of Rules, Regulations and procedures to define what “good neighbor” behavior is expected of us as resident shareholders and what types of behavior are not acceptable. While it has been well established over the years that most of our shareholders indeed act in a responsible, cooperative and reasonable manner, there have been times when one errant shareholder does not behave as required. What can be done when one or more of your neighbors frequently disturb your peace and quiet to the point where you cannot enjoy the use of your own home? Or what happens if a new shareholder simply refuses to abide by the Association Rules? This document defines specific enforcement procedures to be followed if/when there are allegations of shareholder wrongdoing that negatively impacts other shareholders.

      The Board of Directors of Bower Hill at Mt. Lebanon Co. has adopted the following procedures to enforce the Association’s Bylaws, Rules and Regulations while assuring that a “due process” procedure protects the rights of all parties.



      1. ENFORCEMENT BY MANAGEMENT:

      With due sensitivity for extenuating circumstances and impairments such as dementia/mental capacity or other extraordinary health or medical conditions of the alleged offender, the Board of Directors hereby authorizes the building manager and/or the managing agent (hereinafter referred to jointly as “management”) to take such reasonable efforts as may be necessary to enforce the Bylaws and House Rules and Regulations of this Association.

      Upon the site manager and/or any Association employee observing a Rules violation, or upon the management office receiving a common written complaint registered with the management office and signed by at least two (2) shareholders, management is hereby authorized and directed to take the following corrective action on behalf of the Board:

      i) Management shall attempt to contact the alleged offending party in person, by telephone or in writing. That contact will communicate to the alleged offender the nature of the complaint that has been made against him/her and, if appropriate, said Notice will serve as a cease and desist order requiring that the alleged violation be promptly corrected/abated.

      ii) If, within one day after management issues the above Notice, the alleged offender has not promptly ceased and desisted the improper behavior or conduct that is referenced in the Notice the manager will advise the Board President (or whatever Board member is filling-in at the time), and the President will promptly call for an expedited abatement/ Rules Enforcement hearing.

      iii) The alleged offending party will be given a hand delivered written notice (either delivered in person to the alleged offender or posted on his/her apartment door in a sealed envelope for privacy) advising of an abatement/Rules Enforcement hearing date and time. The person serving that Notice will sign an affidavit as to the time and date service was made and such service will be considered proper and adequate to the shareholder. The abatement/Rules Enforcement hearing will be scheduled no less than three (3) days and no more than five (5) days from the date the Notice is issued. The hearing may be scheduled anytime between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM Monday through Friday at the discretion of the Board and such hearing will be held in the Board room/office in Bldg.1. At the hearing all parties will be given the opportunity to speak and to ask appropriate questions of any witnesses. All parties are permitted to have an Attorney present at the hearing.
      The “peer group” hearing Body will consist of three (3) disinterested shareholders who may or may not be members of the Board of Directors or members of the Rules and Regulations committee.
      The hearing Body will serve as judges in this proceeding. The consensus decision of this hearing Body (2 out of 3 votes shall constitute a consensus decision) will decide whether or not the allegations have been adequately proven against the accused shareholder, based upon reliable testimony and/or other convincing evidence. If the offender is found guilty of the alleged charges, and if appropriate, the hearing Body may recommend to the Board that fines and/or other sanctions be assessed against the offending shareholder. The Board’s decision on all such matter will be final and binding.

      Notwithstanding the procedures provided herein, nothing in this document is intended to limit or restrict the authority of management to use its best judgment and discretion to involve the Police, Mental Health Professional, family member or any public assistance agency as may be deemed appropriate to resolve any shareholder disturbance.

      2) AUTOMATIC FINES:


      Automatic fines shall be imposed against the responsible shareholder for the following infractions:

      a) If a shareholder brings a dog, cat, reptile or other animal onto the property or premises, an automatic fine will be imposed against the shareholder. (Assist animals are excluded from this pet restriction policy.)

      b) If a guest/visitor of a shareholder brings a dog, cat, reptile or other animal onto the property or premises, the shareholder is required to have that animal removed immediately. If the shareholder fails to act promptly to have the dog, cat, reptile or animal removed from the Association’s property, a fine will be automatic. (Assist animals are excluded from this pet restriction policy.)

      As used herein, the word “premises” or “property” means any portion of the common areas of Bower Hill at Mt. Lebanon property (indoor and outdoor property) and any individual apartments.

      3) PROGRESSIVE DISCIPLINE AND PENALTIES IMPOSED BY THE BOARD:

      In the unlikely event that less aggressive enforcement strategies fail to bring about the desired relief, the following progressive steps to enforce the Association Bylaws, Covenants and Rules will guide the Board:

      *1st offense involving any Rule violation by a shareholder (or by an uncontrolled guest/visitor or relative of the shareholder) – a fine of up to $50 plus appropriate sanctions, including a sixty (60) day suspension of the voting rights of the offending shareholder and/or denied use of the party room, swimming pool or other common element facilities for a term to be decided by the Board.

      *2nd offense involving any Rule violation by a shareholder (or by an uncontrolled guest/visitor or relative of the shareholder) – a fine of up to $100 plus appropriate sanctions, including a sixty (60) day suspension of the voting rights of the offending shareholder and/or denied use of the party room, swimming pool or other common element facilities for a term to be decided by the Board.

      *3rd or more offense involving any Rule violation by a shareholder (or by an uncontrolled guest/violator or relative of the shareholder) – a fine of up to $250 plus appropriate sanctions, including a sixty (60) day suspension of the voting rights of the offending shareholder and/or denied use of the party room, swimming pool or other common element facilities for a term to be decided by the Board.

      Each instance and/or each day that a violation continues or resumes after management issues a cease and desist Notice shall be counted as a separate violation and additional fines may be imposed for each such violation.

      4) ADDITIONAL REMEDIES OF THE BOARD:

      Court intervention/Civil or Criminal proceeding – If the offending shareholder is adjudicated by his/her peers (the hearing Body) to be guilty of some dangerous or egregious conduct/behavior and/or if the offense is on-going or recurring, the Association may join the shareholders who filed the initial complaint in a joint or separate action to be filed with the District Court, or with the District Attorney’s Office, or with the Court of Common Pleas as may be recommended by, and with the counsel of, the Association’s Attorney. Such actions may be taken to seek injunctive relief or to pursue a Disturbance of the Peace complaint or, if/when appropriate, to abate any criminal activity or behavior that may be occurring at the Bower Hill at Mt. Lebanon. All legal fees, court costs, etc. incurred by the Association will be assessed against the offending shareholder and billed as additional fees owed to the Association.

      Nothing herein is intended to preclude individual shareholders from separately pursuing a civil action against the alleged offending party.

      Eviction or Foreclosure – Ultimately, if the disturbing matter persists/goes unresolved, and if the offense is material enough (as determined by a consensus vote of the Board) in keeping with explicit or implied provisions of the Association’s governing documents and/or Proprietary Lease, the Board has the right to initiate eviction/foreclosure proceedings against the offending shareholder.

      5) Records – All documents and Minutes pertaining to a Rules Enforcement matter will be maintained by the Association for up to seven (7) years as part of its business records.

      6) Finality – All decisions of the Board will be final and binding on all parties.

      These enforcement procedures were adopted by the Bower Hill at Mt. Lebanon Co. Board of Directors, this 19th date of May 2016, with an immediate effective date.
