As an owner of a unit at Village Green (VG), you are automatically a member of the VG Owners Association (VGOA) and in joint ownership of Association property. As such, you are legally bound by the Association’s covenants, rules, and restrictions (CC&Rs), as well as the VG Handbook. In 1977, Village Green was designated as Historic-Cultural Monument (HCM) #174 for the City of Los Angeles. HCM designation requires that exterior and interior alterations be reviewed by the city’s Cultural Heritage Commission, and provides eligibility for the Mills Act program. Owners of HCM properties who enter Mills Act agreements get a property tax cut from the city in exchange for maintaining their properties’ significant historic features. Any modification of a VG Unit must be done in accordance with the VG’s Historic Structures Report (HSR), the guiding document that details the character-defining features of Village Green, which should be preserved. Common area repairs, pest control and minor landscape issues are processed through a work order submission to the management office. |
