Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Rules & Regs Violation

[Randy Sailer (randy.sailer]

I did a quick search of the web. The following web site, http:// 
www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/consumerdish.html has information about  
what you are allowed to regulate. You may want to be sure you are  
following FCC rules (which supersede any local, state or community  
rules) before you engage further....

Generally, if the person has "exclusive use" of an area (like a  
balcony, terraces or patios) they are allowed to install a dish  
there... These areas do not include areas that are owned by the  
condominium association and may include areas like the roof or  
exterior walls of a condo...  Check out the web site for more info...
