Is your question whether you should do this? We cannot provide that direct advice to you because a) we don't serve as your legal counsel, b) have not seen the entire home owner association bylaws, and c) have not reviewed relevant case and statutory law.  As a homeowner, I can see the reason is probably not to damage common areas and other people's private homes (especially from multi level condos).

Contact a homeowner association real estate lawyer.  Try www.attorneypages.com and check his or her record at the New Jersey State Bar.
