Enforcement of GSCA Rules and Policies

In case of the alleged violation of Ghent Square Rules, Regulations or provisions of the Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, and when such alleged violation has been referred in writing to the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Ghent Square Community Association (“GSCA”) by the Architectural Review Board, or upon referral to the Board by majority decision of the Board, the Board may hold a hearing, with notice as described below, to determine the nature and extent of such violation, pursuant to hearing procedures established by the Board. After the hearing, and upon deliberations and a finding that the violation has occurred, the Board may impose upon the responsible member such penalties, including fines or other assessments and/or suspension of facilities use, as may be determined by the Board.

Prior to the imposition of any such charges or suspension, GSCA shall give the responsible member (who shall be a member responsible for an alleged violation committed by the member, family members, tenants, guests or other invitees) an opportunity to be heard by the Board, and the opportunity to be represented by counsel before the Board. Notice of the hearing shall be delivered or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to such member, at the address of record with GSCA, no less than fourteen (14) days prior to the hearing.

Should the Board determine to impose a fine or assessment, the schedule of fines will be as follows:

For Each Single Violation: $50.00 each (or such larger amount as may be permitted by Section 55-513 of the Virginia Code, as amended), plus actual expenses to correct the violation, plus attorney’s fees if incurred.

For Continuing Violations: $10.00 per day for the duration of such violation - not to exceed 90 days - plus the single-violation amount set forth above, plus actual expenses to correct the violation, plus attorneys’ fees if incurred.

The schedule of fines and assessments set forth above is to be deemed a guideline, and the Board has the right to modify the fines and impose other sanctions, penalties or conditions as necessary to fit the seriousness of the violation. Fines and assessments not paid within fifteen (15) days of imposition shall be treated as assessments against the member’s property in Ghent Square, and shall be subject lien and further collection action.
