Can condo associations prohibit satellite dishes

Question

i read somewhere online (written in legalese) that a condo association cannot prohibit the installation of satellite dishes---

I am trying to find out if this is true--I need a good source

Answer 1

I live in Manhattan and it is illegal to put a satellite dish on my building.

Answer 2

They can and some do prohibit satellite dishes.  It would be in the by-laws.

Answer 3

I am pretty sure that condos have a right to install a satellite dish. Exactly where you would install it, I don't know.  Perhaps on a balcony or lanai.

Check with your local congressman.

My homeowner's association's covenants forbade installing any sort of antennae on our home, but we wanted a small satellite dish.

To forbid this is in conflict with our right to access the airwaves for information.  I believe it was in 1996 here in Florida.

Good Luck.

Answer 4

condominiums may restrict satellite dishes except only dishes that are installed within the boundaries of a unit or in the owner's limited common elements.
