FAQ’s (Frequently Asked Questions)

Question: Cambridge Place is an "Air Space" Condominium. What does that mean?

Answer: The term "Air Space" Condominium refers to the boundaries of the Unit. In a standard condominium the Unit boundaries are typically from the studs of the perimeter walls, ceiling, and floor in, and all other portions of the Unit are Common or Limited Common elements. However, in an "Air Space Condo", which is what we have at Cambridge Place, the Unit boundaries are an envelope of space which includes the entire building structure (see Declaration Article 4.1 for further details).

Article 4.1 Unit Boundaries.

Units shall consist of an envelope of space, the perimeter boundaries of which are the surface of the land are located and depicted on the Survey Map and Plans and the lowest air space and highest air space elevations of each Unit are also designated on the Survey Map and Plans. A Unit shall include all structures, improvements, and fixtures now or hereafter located within said space.

Question: What insurance coverage am I required to have?

Answer: Unit Owners are required to maintain insurance covering their entire Unit Structure and improvements per Declaration Article 13.5.1. The best option is to send your insurance agent a copy of the Declaration and the Certificate of Insurance for the Association's Master Policy so they can determine the correct coverage for you. Contact the Community Manager for a copy of the current Certificate of Insurance.

13.5.1 Owners Insurance.

Each Unit Owner shall maintain and pay for property insurance, insuring the Unit structure and improvements situated within the Unit insuring the same against all risks of direct physical loss commonly insured against. The total amount of the insurance after application of any deductibles shall not be less than 100% of the current replacement costs of the insured property at the time the insurance is purchased and at each renewal date, exclusive of land, excavations, foundations, and other items normally excluded from said property insurance.

13.5.2 Owners Additional Insurance.

Each owner shall also obtain liability insurance insuring the Unit Owner against liability from claims arising out of accidents, injuries occurring within the Unit or Limited Common Elements assigned to the Unit. Such insurance shall be at the expense of the Unit Owner. No owner shall, however, be entitled to exercise his right to maintain insurance coverage in any manner which would decrease the amount that the Board of Directors, or any trustee of the Board of Directors. on behalf of all of the owners, will realize under any insurance policy which the Board of Directors may have in force on the Condominium at any particular time. Each owner is required and agrees to notify the Board of Directors of all improvements by the owner to his Unit the value of which is in excess of $1,000.00. Each owner, if requested by the Board of Directors, shall file a copy of such individual policy or policies with the Board of Directors within 30 days after request is made, and the Board of Directors shall immediately review its effect with its insurance broker, agent or carrier.

Question: What maintenance is the Association responsible for?

Answer: In addition to the Common Area landscaping and all fencing, the Declaration Article 11.4.1 requires the Association to repair and replace the roofs of the Unit Structure (not including the covered parking garages) as well as the cleaning and repainting (but not replacement) of the exterior siding.

11.4.1 Standard of Condition.

The Association, at the Association's expense, shall perform the normal maintenance, cleaning, repainting, if necessary, of the exterior siding of the Unit Structure. The Association shall also perform repairs and replacement, if necessary, of the roof of the Unit Structure. However, any structural repair or replacement of the Unit Structure shall be the Unit Owner's responsibility. Each Unit Owner, at each Unit Owner's sole cost and expense, shall have the duty and responsibility to keep the interior and exterior of the Unit Structure, including windows, equipment, appliances, and appurtenances in good condition and repair, except for those portions of the Unit Structure for which the Association is responsible as set forth above.

11.4.5 (c) Exterior Appearance.

In order to preserve a uniform exterior appearance with respect to the Unit Structure and those portions of the Unit visible to the public, the Board of the Association shall provide requirements for the decorative finish of the exterior of the Unit Structure and outside of the Unit Structure within the Unit, such as patio/yard/porch areas and prescribe the type and color of such decorative finishes and may prohibit, regulate or require any modification or decoration of the Unit Structure or improvements located outside of the Unit Structure within the Unit undertaken or proposed by any owner. The Unit Owner shall be required to be responsible for the maintenance and repair of the covered limited parking element assigned to that Unit, with the exception that the painting of the exterior walls of any covered parking structure, which shall be the responsibility of the Association.
