Article 781

Termination; liberative prescription ACTIVE

No action for injunction or for damages on account of the violation of a building restriction may be brought after two years from the commencement of a noticeable violation. A violation is noticeable when an apparent activity has occurred on the immovable in violation of the building restriction. The recordation of an instrument that provides for a violation of the building restriction does not constitute a noticeable violation. After the lapse of this period, the immovable on which the violation occurred is freed of the restriction that has been violated.
