Dereliction of duties by board and management company

So you sent 100 emails with 10 responses, yet you have not indicted what the issue is.

So, Richard. First, property Mangers don't make "rulings," boards do. Do you go to board meetings? Can you submit items for board consideration? Is an open request for Owners to speak at board meetings? If so, do you participate?

I think that 100 emails to your PM in 14 months is excessive. It could even be v viewed as harassment. Do you stop by their office too? Is it on your premises?

I don't think an attorney will help you with your complaint of lack of communication from the PM. Or is your complaint the Board won't act on your emails? I think we need specifics about your complaints. Which Bylaws aren't being adhered to? Spell it out. What do you mean by d"documentation?" Your HOA's governing documents? Like your CC&Rs (or deed restrictions, covenants, declarations)?

Btw, what size is your HOA?

Greetings one and all:
as to the questions received by one and all, this is all been tried. This is not a Situation that has just come up, but a long and enduring problem. Yes, I have addressed this to the board, and I have addressed it to the management companies of the past. This may surprise you, in the last 15 years It has cost me over $11,000 of my own personal monies for repairs. This has resulted due to roof leaks, and I do mean serious roof leaks. Water down the exterior inside walls, defective sump pumps, flooding the crawl away and in one case, a defective sump pump which nearly caused the fire due to lack of inspection and maintenance by the management company. And this had been addressed many times.

Trust me when I say this is only a small part of what the problems have been.

For the past 20 years I have documented every single problem with multiple photographs, documenting the problems. It's probably above and beyond what you may believe has happened. For the past 12 years I have made the statement to the board and the management company. If you think at any time that I am exaggerating the situation. You have my authorization to come to my house and look at all of the photographs,(which I have many of) the emails submitted to the management company or to the board. I only receive solutions when the board members call the management company and told them to get moving on this, and even then they stall. Contrary to many who believe this is a story, you will find I have documented every single problem with email, emails to the board, and repeats to the management company. The only time I get results is if the board steps in and this is uncalled for. I challenge anybody, and I do mean anybody that feels I'm mistaken to take a look at my computer, all of my photographs, all of my emails for the past 20 years, to the management companies and to the board. You may find it will take you 3 to 4 hours to go through it, then you would understand. This association was built in 1984. We have lost beautiful fencing around common areas, the parking lot areas have not been touched in any respect Since that date. Huge cracks with grass in the middle, wheel stops pushed under the bushes, unauthorized vehicle repairs in the parking lots not being addressed when reported, disgraceful garbage pickup areas and more.

Do I go to the meetings?? Yes I have in the past and what do we get in return?? Hot air promises and no results. I'm sure people will challenge this but then again without all of the pertinent information you would have no idea what's going on.

Even when I challenge the board or management company to view my information, they back away because they've already seen it. I have been in this association 26 years and now I'm 82 years of age, lost a great deal of My eyesight and stamina. It is now impossible for me to participate in any way shape or form. It should be noted that apathy is prevalent in the Association. As one told me if it doesn't affect me. I don't care. Anyway, thank you for all of your comments.
Rich.
