Any authority or responsibility exercised by the president or the board should be allocated by the board. The note gave no reason for the inspections. I had received no prior notice, and, since I cannot attend the association meetings, I had heard nothing about this. I know the association has the right to enter units for pest control and for emergencies, but I did not know it had the right to enter to conduct inspections. Please clarify when and under what circumstances the association can enter a unit.
Owners have a responsibility to be aware of board actions.
They should insist that minutes or a meeting recap be available and should take the time to read them. As to your question, many buildings supply water or other services that from time to time require inspection. Ask your officers what the inspection was for. It sounds as though the board is overreacting. Check your declaration to determine the use of the barbecue and the board's authority to limit use of common areas.
