Individual Board Members Breaking County Codes

I've only been on the board a few months and have recently learned that board members have been getting outside work done on their condo's without any prior approval by the board or county permits, having their own home repaired with hoa funds before any other condo is repaired and many other situations that I could go on and on about. We have board members using common area for their own personal use and even have an owners deceased father's ashes scattered on common area. Most which has never had board approval or approval was given by only one member, which is not what our cc&r's say.
No other board member seems to care or they are tired of the fight to change things. We as board members have a fiduciary duty to the other owners and should not take advantage of our positions and should follow the laws even more so than those not on the board.
I am really dissapointed and I have lost my trust in a few members who tell me let it go, don't make an issue here.

Is there anything I can do as a board member and owner to put an end to these type of actions?

Any help or suggestions will be greatly apprciated.

The LAST person you would want to have brought on your property would be the building or code enforcement inspector.

Your property might end up with a long list of repairs and violations which in the end might cost quite a bit to bring the property up to full compliance depending on the age of your property.

Much of what you have cited is NOT a violation of the building code but rather misuse of HOA/association funds not within the enforcement of the local government.

If the remainder of those serving on the Board are unwilling to address this behavior you would seem to be headed for banging your head into a stone wall.
Better to find some people who might support your efforts and make sure the charges you are making are 100% accurate.

Some work does not require permits. Sometimes common property can be used by property owners for thweir use if permitted by the board. And how someone ashes being placed on the property violates your sense of what is right and proper well more than likely winds,rain and Mother Nature have settled that matter for you.

I would be careful throwing around accsations of what is right/wrong/improper without understanding 100% what has taken place, if this is permitted under your documents, and what will be the result when you force your views on the rest of the board members.

Good luck...........

Thank you all for your responses. I believe the main issue with me is that certain board members authorize actions without going through the proper channel of members voting (which needs to be done according to our cc&r's), and by taking matters into their own hands. Because of this and other inappropriate behavior, I find, as an owner, it is very hard to trust people with making decisions and my money.

As far as owners/board members getting permits for remodeling their units, I'm not even sure how we would police that or if it is even possible. Maybe we could set up our newsletter and have a legal section that states all permits are public and can be searched. Make sure you take the proper ......

I do not want to report anyone, I would like people to be honest and do the right thing, especially if you are on the board. I don't think that is too much to ask if you are a fiduciary of other owners money.

Thank you again for your help and responses.
