1, 2pm downstairs called COA for his bathroom ceiling water leaking. But nobody responded phone call as it was Thanksgiving eve in 2015.
2, 6:30pm downstairs had to call 911 to get a fireman. The fireman checked the problem was my toilet leaking. Then turned off toilet shut off valve in the toilet back. And let us leave the home until toilet fixed. And told downstairs already stopped emergency leaking. Dripping water needs few hours to dry.
3, 7pm downstairs called COA again for my toilet leaking as he thought dripping water was still an emergency situation or building pipes maybe was a small leaking. I didn't notice COA because I didn't know COA will involve this case.
4, 9pm-9:30pm COA sent locksmith and plumber to enter my home to replace a toilet ring wax only. Police was there to watch and had a time record in police department. Unfortunately COA sent an unqualified plumber, toilet continued to leak two weeks until another plumber fixed. Until now, no more leaking again.
In the bill it wrote plumber worked from 11pm-2am for 3 hours included trip, actually he just worked half hour in my home from 9pm-9:30pm. COA paid locksmith and plumber total $900, then billed me automatically from my HOA fee. Downstairs sold his home in Nov 2016.
I tried to negotiate with them. They didn't agree and let attorney send a letter to file a lien to my property within 30 days.
If dripping water is an emergency case. Why when I reported to COA for my upstairs neighbor AC pipes was leaking and caused my utility roof collapse and damaged my AC in May 2016, I attached collapse photos. But I waited for 3 months for a worker to come to fix it. Same type of water leaking issues, roof collapsing, why was mine request delayed for 3 month and others was processes immediately and my home was broken in? Isn’t this a discrimination?
Should I pay this expensive bill? Please advise. Thanks in advance!
