‘No-Mezuzah’ Policy Is Shown The Door
‘No-Mezuzah’ Policy Is Shown The Door: "The developer of a Dix Hills, L.I., condominium complex who Monday ordered residents to remove all outdoor religious displays — including wreaths and mezuzahs — backed down the next day and said he would allow the residents to decide their own rules.
“I want a committee of homeowners to make some recommendations and then I will have a meeting of all the homeowners so they can discuss it and come up with a reasonable accommodation for everybody,” said Lawrence Gresser, the developer.
Gresser said that despite Monday’s letter threatening to fine all violators $50 if they did not remove outdoor displays within three days, no fines would be levied."

Yes, of course this will require some sort of rule. You couldn't just let people observe their religion as they do all over the nation, with no adverse consequences for anybody.
