home inspection

Florida HOA has a home owner that lives in another state,they have not been to the home in about 5 years
there is no electricity on so there is no air condition working,and does not have any maintenance company
checking the property,this is part of an attached house and the other owners are worried about mold or bug problems
coming thru the walls.
the county has told us we can not force the owner to let us inspect the property,that we may have to get an attorney,any suggestions

The HOA does NOT own the property. Thus has no right to enter.

Knock it off, Melissa, as with the horder & filth in a condo in another recent post, this unit too might be a health and safety issue to other units. An HOA's first duty is to protect the Assn. and its common areas.

Try contacting the owners for their permission.

if not permission, I would check with HOA law, but your documents probably give your Assn. the right to enter units as Michael suggests and even to break down the door for access if necessary.
