This is why in "normal" condos, they have specific provisions for how 
this would be rectified -- the association would hire someone one to 
remove the dish and the homeowner would have to pay for the removal as 
well as a substantial fine. If they did not pay a lien would be put on 
their unit and it would paid when they sold the unit.

Cohousers would object that this is not neighborly but how neighborly 
is this person being?
