The city council moved forward with a new regulation that is already generating various reactions among terrace owners. As of last Tuesday, those who choose to close off their spaces with glass walls without the permission of the homeowners' association must bear the costs of dismantling them.
This measure comes in response to a notable increase in complaints from neighbors, who are concerned about unauthorized enclosures that tend to alter both the aesthetics of the buildings and the harmony among residents. In accordance with the regulations, any enclosure must have the formal approval of the community.
Those who violate the regulations will face financial penalties and bear the financial burden of dismantling the incorrectly installed structures. The municipal council says that this policy is essential to preserve order and respect for community norms.
Representatives from various homeowner associations have already expressed their support for the measure. They point out that many conflicts arise due to unauthorized enclosures, emphasizing the importance of protecting coexistence and the aesthetics of the buildings.
While some property owners complain about the regulations, arguing that the enclosures provide comfort and align with trends in urban design, the City Council insists that there are legal avenues to formalize these modifications. It's just a matter of following the established process to ensure the common good.
The regulation will come into effect in the coming weeks, hoping to change the way owners approach terrace enclosures, thereby fostering greater cooperation among neighbors and respect for community rules.
