You are looking to buy the property - the current owner should make it right if it isn't.
- As suggested, talk to the ARC about the situation. Take pictures if you can so they can see it
- Ask if the ARC has any approvals for that work
- Obviously, ask if what you see represents a violation
At that point you have options:
- If the ARC has an approval for it, you're good
- If the ARC does not see it as a violation (I sure would like that in writing) then you have reason to feel good
- If it is a violation then you have some negotiating room with the seller
---- Convince him to correct it before you agree to purchase it
---- Maybe suggest that the non-conforming pavers should be part of the declarations for the sale
---- Negotiate a lower price to cover what you believe it will cost to correct the violation if a complaint is ever submitted
You're in a better position than those who didn't notice a violation before closing on the sale.
