<br />Association shall submit an appropriate claim. Any deductible amount shall be paid by the
<br />Responsible Owner. If a Unit Owner becomes aware of any potential problems or issues with

<br />B. Inspection and Maintenance Guidelines; Homeowners Association
<br />Handbook: The Declarant shall provide the Association with a Homeowners Association
<br />Handbook, and each Owner with a Homeowners Care Manual for the inspection and maintenance
<br />of the improvements within the Project. The Board shall comply with the Homeowners Association
<br />Handbook for the periodic inspection and maintenance of the Common Area improvements and
<br />landscaping that the Association is required to maintain under this Declaration, and any other
<br />improvements outside of the Common Area, which the Association has the responsibility to
<br />maintain, including, without limitation, the maintenance requirements provided for in Section
<br />5.1.A(2). The Board shall take all appropriate actions to implement and comply with the
<br />Homeowners Association Handbook.
<br />(1) The Board shall cause professional inspections of Major Components
<br />and of all Common Area infrastructure to be routinely made. The Board shall engage professionals
<br />to conduct such inspection if the Board or the Association's manager deems that such inspections
<br />by professionals, such as an architect, a civil engineer and a landscape architect, or other such
<br />professional, is warranted. Inspections shall be made at least yearly, and for appropriate items or
<br />events, more often. Inspections will include a review of all repair records since the previous
<br />inspection. The Board shall cause a log ( "Maintenance Log ") to be kept to record all inspection and
<br />maintenance performed, and to record who performed the work, the results, and the date the
<br />inspection or maintenance was performed.
<br />(2) The Board shall annually report to the Members the results of the
<br />inspection, and the status of maintenance of the Common Area, and shall include a copy of the
<br />Maintenance Log. The reports shall address any noted deterioration which may require future
<br />attention. The reports may also recommend supplemental specialized investigations (i.e., elevator,
<br />termite, pool, mechanical, arborist, limnologist, geologist, structural, etc).
<br />(3) The Association shall keep permanent records of all: (a) Complaints and
<br />potential problems, including description, date and bywhom; (b) Reports, including inspections and
<br />recommendations; (c) Maintenance and repairs, including description, location, date, bywhom made
<br />and cost; and (d) Plans, including construction drawings, subsequent modifications, and repair
<br />plans.
<br />(4) The Board may, from time to time, make appropriate revisions to the
<br />Homeowners Association Handbook based on the Board's review thereof, to update such handbook
<br />to provide for inspection and maintenance according to current industry practices so long as such
<br />changes do not reduce the useful life or functionality of the items being maintained.
<br />(5) The Board shall undertake to cause inspection, maintenance and
<br />operation of the Common Area of the Project in accordance with all applicable municipal, state, and
<br />federal laws, regulations, statutes and ordinances. The Board shall also undertake reasonable
<br />measures to cause compliance with the aforementioned laws, regulations, statutes, ordinances and
