Do I need condo board approval for small reno jobs?
Question for people on condo boards or have dealt with condo boards for renovations.
I’m looking at putting more potlights in my new condo, specifically extending potlights currently in the entryway into the living area via a bulkhead. I’ve seen other units in my building recently sold that have this set-up.
Are potlights something that needs condo board approval before installing? If so - what is the process (new to condos), do I send a letter to the board? Do I have to draw out my plans and have a contracter & quote on hand? Also what is the average timeframe between submission and approval, am I looking at days/weeks/months here?
Follow-up Q for those on condo boards - what is the threshold for work that needs condo board approval? I would assume anything structural, plumbing, or major electrical - but would simple jobs like replacing shower door, light fixtures, tiling in kitchen/bath, replacing vanity or toilet, new blinds etc... require approval.
