Interesting discussion. As a the former treasurer of a large
complex(250 units), I was the chair of the roofing committee. The
roofs were all failing on 30 buildings and an inspector was hired to
review them. The junk that was attached to the roofs was one of the
major problems. Cables penetrating the surface etc.
In one case, a TV antenna was screwed right into the roof. When it
comes to common property like that, the association cannot allow
individuals to attach their own private stuff wherever they want.
So, homeowners can put up a TV antenna, but the association has to
protect the roofs, at a minimum, from damage.
I don't know how you can accomplish both.
