I don't see any law that states that multiresidential buildings must upgrade their outside aerial antennas to HD.
The issue is one of PR by the Board, i.e., to satisfy the minority who does not have cable or other form of paid TV compatible with HD. For your info, there are indoor HD antennas that may be purchased and could be effective.
Finally, if the board is not agreable to upgrade the antenna, then I would suggest that the users of the central antenna pool their resources and upgrade the master antenna of the building. After all, those who currently pay for cable, FIOS or other private network are probably least interested in changing back to the master antenna. In fact, this may be more equitable, since this small minority are the only ones who will use the system. This will not tax the rest of the residents not interested in being connected to a handful of channels.
