Driveways as square footage?Aug 30, 2012

We have several driveways in front of our buildings...with 10 owners who have spots they purchased...are these driveways to be considered as part of the overall square footage of their unit and thus included in calculations of common charges? Thx.

yes, they are common area being used exclusively by a shareholder, who would then be responsible for the expense as maintanence.

I agree - purchase would imply a higher maintenance load. Check your Lease too see how addl shares can be allocated (if a co-op).
