In the past few months we have found a)a "roommate" of a shareholder having sex on the common roofdeck at 3 AM with someone other than shareholder after roofdeck curfew of 10 PM (it's over another shareholder's unit) b)another shareholder visible in his underwear with his friend standing stark naked, having a cigaetter in the rear year. Do we need to actually write house rules/prop lease amendments forbidding this behavior? What would we classify it as? Objectionable behavior? Should shareholders who witness this stuff be advised to call the police?
It seems to me that shareholders who can make a claim that their "quiet enjoyment" is being interfered with could register a complaint with the management company, who could then take action. If people are on the deck at 3AM, that's a clear violation of house rules, so that should be easy enough to address. Best to have the management company address it, though, so that it doesn't become a conflict between shareholders, or a conflict between the board and shareholders.
As for calling the police, that's kind of a tough one if this is happening on private property, I think.
Good luck!
