I called them and told them 1) the Board can come up with whatever they want, but if this is a change Bylaws it had to be voted on by the membership2) the Board would be insane to do this as if they required Owners to put up lockboxs outside the door and there was a break-in to the unit from someone who accessed the lockbox, my guess is the prop. managment company would be sued and the HOA would be sued for making owners put keys in lockboxs next to their units (and thus creating an unsafe environment).In your case, the Board can recommend that owners come into compliance with certain laws (CO2, fire alarms...) but I do not believe they have the right to enter to enforce this unless clearly defined in the CC&R's.My guess is the Boards/Management Company's heart was in the right place (in terms of making sure owners complied and keeping people safe) but how it was implemented left a little to be desired.They should have at least contacted you to see if you wanted the option of them going into to install the CO2 or if you had already taken care of this.

A visual inspection to make sure that there is no slow leak (evidenced by corrosion) that would prevent it from working in the event of high temp or pressure is all I would recommend.
