Does the association have a major crime problem, how often, how many crimes and what kinds of crimes, property versus personal injury? Has the association addressed its security problems, and if so what actions have the association taken? Should the association have had a security patrol? Does the association have sufficient lighting? There is the issue of security: any potential property damage of your vehicle along with your personal security.Ĭan the association be liable for denying what you have stated as “basic security measures”? The answer will be with the courts once a lawsuit is filed. One is the privacy of other homeowners who may claim the camera invades their privacy since the camera is surveilling a section of the common area, i.e., the parking lot. My question is can the board refuse to allow the cameras? And, if there is an issue, such as our vehicle is broken into or damaged or we are assaulted getting out of our car, would the board members be liable for denying basic security measures.Ī: This is not an easy question to answer especially since you live in a condominium. You may film your patio or front door but not the common view area.” The placement of the cameras look to be aimed at the community the cameras cannot surveil the common areas.

I have asked them to put some of this information in the bi-monthly newsletters. One problem is the meetings are so sparsely attended. Most of our HOA meetings end up in screaming and name-calling. There is no telling how long this has been going on. This, from the owner of the management company. One of the management companies quit to avoid getting involved with the fraudulent documents. What the residents don’t know is that the past management companies have quit us. This HOA has had three different management companies in the past five years. My question is do I have the right to inform the residents what is going on? I have a complete mailing list for this HOA and the master HOA. We have a hard time getting anyone on the board. This one board member has caused many other board members to quit the board for this and many other issues. The second citation was for the board, specifically one board member, who was caught fabricating and altering HOA documents. ![]() And, truthfully, the state was no help at all. Of course, we had to threaten police action before anything was acknowledged. This complaint was started by myself and the board had to comply. Once for trespassing on property that the board had no easements to be on (a total of 10 different properties). Our homeowners association board has been cited by the state twice in the past couple of years. ![]()
