If a neighbor places an A/C unit in the common are of a condominium building without notice to others, how can we have him remove it?
A neighbor is violating the by-laws of the condominium building we live in by placing a central A/C unit in the common area next to my window. It is noisy and I cannot sleep with my windows open. What steps can I take to have him remove it? Management already sent the neighbor a letter stating that they must remove it because it was put in without notice. However, the neighbor is not removing it.

The the management - or the Condo Board may also have the right - has to bring an action based upon the by paws, which are a contract that must be abided by. Just make sure that notice, etc., was properly given by management and then the Board as required in the by-laws. Good luck.
