The penalties for unauthorized alterations to a building's exterior vary depending on local regulations and the severity of the alterations. In many jurisdictions, residents may face penalties such as fines, removal of the unauthorized changes, or restoration of the original state at their own expense. The specific penalties can be outlined in local building codes, homeowners association (HOA) rules, or lease agreements. It is important for residents to seek proper authorization or obtain necessary permits before making any alterations to the building's exterior to avoid potential penalties.
