What Cincinnati HOA Boards Should Know
Along with Ohio’s association laws, Cincinnati has building inspection and sidewalk maintenance requirements that can affect HOA and condo boards. These city rules apply within Cincinnati’s municipal boundaries.
Façade Inspections for Taller Buildings
Cincinnati requires periodic façade examinations for buildings at least five stories or 60 feet tall, whichever threshold is reached first, once they are more than 15 years old. An Ohio-registered architect or professional engineer must conduct or supervise the examination and provide a condition report. Inspection frequency depends on the exterior wall construction.
For your board: confirm whether your building qualifies, track its inspection schedule, and budget for any recommended repairs.
Fire Escape Inspections
Buildings more than 15 years old with fire escapes are subject to Cincinnati’s fire escape inspection program. Covered fire escapes generally require examinations every five years by, or under the supervision of, an Ohio-registered architect or professional engineer.
For your board: keep inspection reports and repair records, and arrange for identified problems to be addressed promptly.
Sidewalk Snow and Ice Removal
Cincinnati requires those responsible for adjoining property to clear sidewalk snow within the first four hours after daylight following the end of snowfall. Icy sidewalks must also be made safe by removing the ice or applying sand or another suitable substance.
For your board: identify which sidewalks fall under the association’s responsibility and make sure your snow-removal contract covers the city’s timing requirements.
Annual Budgets and Reserve Funding
Ohio requires planned-community HOAs and condominium associations to adopt annual budgets. Both generally must fund reserves sufficient to repair and replace major capital items without special assessments.
Owners holding at least a majority of the association’s voting power can waive the reserve requirement in writing each year. Condo law also provides an exception when the declaration or bylaws limit the board’s ability to increase common-expense assessments without an owner vote.
For your board: review your association’s governing documents and expected repair costs before setting assessments, and document any reserve waiver properly.
