<br /> <br />4810-5342-0509, v. 2 <br /> 37 <br /> <br />on by any prospective purchaser or Mortgagee of the Condominium, but reliance on such statement may <br />not extend to any default not involving the payment of Assessments of which the signer had no actual <br />knowledge. <br />6.11 Collection of Assessments; Liens. <br />6.11.1 Right to Enforce. The right to collect and enforce Assessments is vested in <br />the Board acting for and on behalf of the Association. The Board may enforce the obligations of the Owners <br />to pay Assessments provided for in this Declaration by commencement and maintenance of a suit at law <br />or in equity, or the Board may foreclose by judicial proceedings or through the exercise of the power of sale <br />pursuant to Section 6.11.5 (Notice of Default; Foreclosure) enforce the lien rights created. Suit to recover <br />a money judgment for unpaid Assessments together with all other Additional Charges shall be maintainable <br />without foreclosing or waiving the lien rights. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, a <br />monetary penalty imposed by the Association as a disciplinary measure for failure of a Member to comply <br />with the Governing Documents or in bringing the Member and its Condominium into compliance with the <br />Governing Documents may not be characterized nor treated as an Assessment that may become a lien <br />against the Member’s Condominium enforceable by a sale of the interest hereunder. The limitation in the <br />preceding sentence however, does not apply to any Additional Charges. <br />6.11.2 Notice of Assessments and Foreclosure. The Association shall distribute a <br />written notice regarding Assessments and foreclosure as set forth in California Civil Code Section 5730 <br />during the sixty (60) day period immediately preceding the beginning of the Association’s Fiscal Year. <br />6.11.3 Delinquent Assessments. In collecting delinquent Assessments, the <br />Association shall comply with the requirements of California law, including, without limitation, California Civil <br />Code Section 5650. As of the date of this Declaration, such laws require that, among other things, before <br />the Association records a lien against the Owner’s Condominium, the Association shall: (a) notify the <br />delinquent Owner of certain matters; and (b) offer and, if requested by the Owner, participate in, dispute <br />resolution procedures pursuant to the Association’s “meet and confer” program required by California Civil <br />Code Sections 5900 through 5920. <br />6.11.4 Assignment. The Association may not voluntarily assign or pledge the <br />Association’s right to collect payments or Assessments, or to enforce or foreclose a lien to a third party <br />except where provided under California Civil Code Section 5735. <br />6.11.5 Notice of Default; Foreclosure. The Association can record a notice of <br />default and, subject to the requirements and limitations of California Civil Code Section 5700, et seq., can <br />cause the Condominium with respect to which a notice of default has been recorded to be sold either in the <br />same manner as a sale is conducted under California Civil Code Sections 2924, 2924b and 2924c or <br />through judicial foreclosure and as provided in California Civil Code Section 5700, et seq. However, as a <br />condition precedent to the holding of any such sale under Section 2924c, appropriate publication shall be <br />made. In connection with any such sale, the Board is authorized to appoint a trustee for purposes of <br />conducting the sale. If a delinquency is cured before sale of the Condominium or before completing a <br />judicial foreclosure, or if it is determined that a lien previously recorded against a Condominium was <br />recorded in error, the Board shall apply payments and follow the procedures set forth in California Civil <br />Code Section 5685. On becoming delinquent in the payment of any Assessment or installment, each <br />delinquent Owner shall be deemed to have absolutely assigned all rent, issues and profits of its <br />Condominium to the Association and shall further be deemed to have consented to the appointment of a <br />receiver (which appointment may, at the election of the Association, be enforced by the Association through <br />specific performance). The Association, acting on behalf of the Owners, shall have the power to bid upon <br />the Condominium at foreclosure sale and to acquire, hold, lease, mortgage and convey the Condominium <br />and vote as an Owner of the Condominium. <br />6.11.6 Creation of Lien. If there is a delinquency in the payment of any Assessment <br />(other than a Compliance Assessment), any amounts that are delinquent, together with any Additional <br />Charges, shall be a lien against the defaulting Owner’s Condominium upon the recordation in the Official <br />290
