Question
the following statement is from a contract between a homeowner and the homeowners association (hoa) for his neighborhood.
\overnight parking on community streets is prohibited. for the purpose of this contract, overnight will be defined as the hours between 11:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. the hoa will monitor overnight parking not less than once every calendar week with nightly patrols by community security.
in the event a car is found parked on community streets overnight and that ownership of the offending car can accurately be verified as a community homeowner, the homeowner will receive one (1) written warning asking him or her to correct the situation. a second and third infraction by the same homeowner, whether or not it is with the same car, will result in a monetary fine as permitted by cc&r guidelines and hoa bylaws. further infractions (past 3) will result in monetary fines in addition to the towing of the car at the homeowners expense.
according the contract, which of the following is not a responsibility of the hoa?
a. monitor overnight parking at least once a week
b. give a written warning for the first infraction of overnight parking
c. give a written warning for the second infraction of overnight parking
d. tow the car of a homeowner who has parked in the street overnight five nights in a row
- Option a: The HOA monitors overnight parking at least once a week (per the statement "monitor overnight parking not less than once every calendar week"). So this is a responsibility.
- Option b: For the first infraction, the HOA gives a written warning (as per "the homeowner will receive one (1) written warning... for the first infraction"). So this is a responsibility.
- Option c: The HOA gives a written warning for the second infraction? Wait, no— the text says "A second and third infraction by the same homeowner... will result in a monetary fine...". So for the second infraction, it's a monetary fine, not a written warning. Wait, re-reading: "the homeowner will receive one (1) written warning asking him or her to correct the situation. A second and third infraction by the same homeowner... will result in a monetary fine as permitted... Further infractions (past 3) will result in monetary fines in addition to towing...". So the second infraction gets a monetary fine, not a written warning. Wait, but the option c says "give a written warning for the second infraction"— but according to the contract, first infraction: written warning; second and third: monetary fine; past 3: fines + towing. So option c is NOT a responsibility. Wait, but let's check the options again. Wait the question is "which of the following is not a responsibility of the HOA?". Let's re-express each option:
a. monitor overnight parking at least once a week: The HOA does monitor "not less than once every calendar week"— so this is a responsibility.
b. give a written warning for the first infraction: The text says "the homeowner will receive one (1) written warning... for the first infraction"— so this is a responsibility.
c. give a written warning for the second infraction: The text says second infraction gets a monetary fine, not a written warning. So this is NOT a responsibility. Wait, but wait— maybe I misread. Wait the text: "In the event a car is found parked... the homeowner will receive one (1) written warning... A second and third infraction... will result in a monetary fine...". So first: warning; second: fine; third: fine; past 3: fines + towing. So option c is giving a written warning for the second infraction— which the HOA does NOT do. So c is not a responsibility? Wait but let's check option d: "tow the car of a homeowner who has parked in the street overnight five nights in a row". Five nights is "past 3" infractions (since first:1, second:2, third:3, fourth:4, fifth:5— past 3). The text says "Further infractions (past 3) will result in monetary fines in addition to the towing of the car...". So for five nights (past 3), the HOA will tow. So d is a responsibility. Wait but the question is which is NOT a responsibility. Wait maybe I made a mistake. Wait let's re-express all options:
a. monitor overnight parking at least once a week: HOA does this (per "monitor overnight parking not less than once every calendar week")— responsibility.
b. give a written warning for the first infraction: HOA does this (per "one (1) written warning... for the first infraction")— responsibility.
c. give a written warning for the second infraction: HOA does NOT do this (second infraction: monetary fine)— so this is NOT a responsibility.
d. tow the car of a homeowner who has parked in the street overnight five nights in a row: Five nights is more than 3 infractions (past 3), so HOA will tow (per "Further infractions (past 3) will result in... towing...")— responsibility.
Wait but maybe the intended answer is c? Wait no— wait the option c says "give a written warn…
