Please Chop a Few Feet Off Your Roof

After agreeing to follow architectural guidelines, a homeowner still proceeded in building his home higher than regulated, causing the depreciation in value of neighboring homes due to new lack of view.

The court ruled that they were required to remove the part of their house exceeding the limit, but they argued that it would cost more to tear down than it did to build. The verdict was that since they continued, knowingly, to violate the guidelines of their boundaries, that it was inconsequential how much it would inconvenience them.

The goal and focus is to support and protect the homeowners who abide to the requirements as well as their home’s value no matter what the cost.
