§ 1313. Copy of the floor plans to be filed

  • (a) Simultaneously with the recording of the declaration there shall be filed in the office
    of the recording officer a lot plan and, in the case of an apartment building, a set
    of the floor plans of the building showing the layout, location, apartment or site
    numbers, and dimensions of the apartments or sites, stating the name of the building
    or that it has no name. In the case of a mobile home park, there shall be filed in
    the office of the recording officer a site plan showing the layout, location, site
    numbers, and dimensions of the sites, and the layout, location, and materials of all
    utilities, including underground utilities. Each set of building or site plans shall
    bear the verified statement of a licensed architect, licensed professional engineer,
    or licensed land surveyor certifying that it is an accurate copy of portions of the
    plans of the building or site as filed with and approved by the municipal or other
    governmental subdivision having jurisdiction over the issuance of permits for the
    construction of buildings or mobile home parks. If the plans do not include a verified
    statement by the licensed architect, licensed professional engineer, or licensed land
    surveyor that they fully and accurately depict the layout, location, apartment or
    site numbers, and dimensions of the apartments or sites as built, there shall be recorded
    before the first conveyance of any apartment or site an amendment to the declaration,
    to which shall be attached a verified statement of a licensed architect, licensed
    professional engineer, or licensed land surveyor certifying that the plans previously
    filed, or being filed simultaneously with the amendment, fully and accurately depict
    the layout, location, apartment or site numbers, and dimensions of the apartments
    or sites as built. Plans shall be kept by the recording officer in a separate file
    for each building or park, indexed in the same manner as conveyance entitled to record,
    numbered serially in the order of receipt, each designated “apartment ownership” or
    “site ownership,” with the name of the building or park, if any, each containing a
    reference to the book, page, and date of recording of the declaration. Correspondingly,
    the record of the declaration shall contain a reference to the file number of the
    floor plans of the building or of the site plans of the parks affected. (b) If the declaration has been of record for 15 or more years, no effect on marketability
    of title shall be created by failure to file or record floor plans. (Added 1967, No. 228 (Adj. Sess.), § 13, eff. Jan. 23, 1968; amended 1989, No. 139 (Adj. Sess.); 1993, No. 97, § 2; 2017, No. 24, § 4, eff. May 4, 2017.)
