Default Take a deep breath first...

Hi--
First, I'm not an attorney but I do have some experience with this...

The condo association has a set of CC7Rs, yes? you know this?--basically the rules of living in this community. No set of CCRs would ban remodeling--b/c this just adds to the overall value of the property at large, and ironically, adds to the value of theneighbor as well...

Since your Mom sent out courtesy letters in advance, and the crew complied with her wishes etc--the neighbor is just blowing smoke up your ass. Your Moom should just double check with the HOA tosee if there were any official complaints lodged by this neighbor--more for curiosity than anything else. But the larger picture is this..the neighbor has no legal leg to stand on. She can threaten to sue all she (she?) wants--your Mom did nothing in violation of the CCRs. In addition, the neighbor will benefit from these improvements. Don't be intimidated--neighbor is an ass. Stop letting her jerk your Mom around, if Mom needs to get an attorney to write a letter that basically says STFU and you're an ass, go away or THIS IS HARASSMENT (*enter legal buzzword*)--and then don't repsond to any more letters, refer them to Mom's attorney. Also, Mom may want to have a conversation with condo board folks--perhaps an off the record kind of conversation to ascertain if this neighbor is an established wing-nut or not....

My .02--hope it helps, keep me posted.

Best regards-
