2020년, 그러니까 작년 가을 즈음입니다.

현관문 페인트가 많이 바래서 새로운 색깔로 페인트를 칠했습니다.

그런데 며칠 후 HOA 에서 경고편지가 왔었습니다.

Window shutter 하고 색깔이 매치가 안되니 다시 칠하라는 거였습니다.

 

편지 내용은 아래와 같습니다

그래서 다른 집들은 어떤가하고 살펴보았는데,  여러집들이,  저희 커무니티 약 150 가구 중 아마도 10 집 이상이 칼라 매치가 안된 상태입니다.

벌써 수년 전 부터요.  

다른 집들은 괜찮고 저만  칼라 매치를 해야하는지요 ?   이 곳은 백인들 가구가 대다수입니다.

아시안이라서 차별을 당하는 느낌을 지울 수가 없네요.  벌써 certified letter 를 같은 내용으로 두번이나 받았습니다.

3월 23일에 청문회를 한답니다. 저하고요.

Dear 제 이름,

 

In accordance with the Property Owners Association Act of Virginia and the governing documents of the Association, you are hereby notified that a Hearing will be conducted before the Board of Directors of HAWTHORNE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION INC at Zoom, http://bit.ly/3bloWfV on 03/23/2021 06:30 pm, in reference to the violation of the governing documents listed below: Violation: Front door and shutters must match the same color.

이미 페인트를 두 번이나 아주 두껍게 칠을 해놓아서 문을 떼내어서 샌딩을 하고 예전 색으로 , shutter 하고 같은 색, 칠해여할 것 같습니다.

 

청문회 이전에 다시 페인트칠하면 청문회는 없겠지요 ?   지금은 날이 추워서 문을 떼어 내어 작업을 할 수 없는 처지입니다.

 

어떻게 하면 최선일런지요 ? 도움이 될만한 댓글 기대합니다.  

 

감사합니다.

 

 

이 건 저희집 이고요

 

 

 

 

 

아래는 다른 집들 mismatch 사례입니다.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

감사합니다.
