| Research Abstract |
This study investigates the focus areas and reality of enforcement of regulations in CC&Rs in the United States. My findings reveal that (a) in CC&Rs, there are many kinds of building (as well as non-building) regulations; (b) there are various alleged violations such as business use, multi family uses and parking, which resemble those in building agreements in Japan; and (c) ADR procedures in the California Civil Code are highly suggestive for the revision of Building Standard Law in Japan.
