HOA Association maintenance and walk-through inspection forms

Hello to all of those out there:
one thing has come to mind and maybe I just missed it someplace. HOA's associations have rules and regulations and documentation stating what should be done and in most cases are very clear. This is my question, where can I find an inspection form that would relate to a condominium association. Procedures to follow on major inspections of associations.

This may also be called a checklist as if I was an inspector doing the job. We have under 100 units. If a basic on-site inspection form is available, I should like to put it forth to the board as I have never seen one in all my years as a home owner.

Appreciate any help you can offer. The management company may be knowledgeable in clerical duties, but I seriously doubt they have any idea how to inspect or otherwise preform a detailed inspection. I've never known our association to have a professional or anybody that I know of to perform those duties. In all my years I never seen them make a detailed inspection of our association. Their procedures are repair only when damaged.

Richard,

Email me, [email protected] ,and I will share what we used.

It likely won't match exactly, but can give you a starting point to make your own.

Hello KerryL1,
I would have to say you have your association under control as one of the other who has posted information here. This is what I'm talking about, a procedure to follow. That has been set up for each Association. According to its needs. I would say the two of you have your association fully under control. In the past 30 years here in Colorado and six management companies. I have never seen an inspection report that pertain to the Association. The majority of the time the management company says that they have done it. To believe that you would have to think that a 747 aircraft could fly backwards. It takes specialists in certain fields to make these inspections and to validate those inspections and this is what I hope will happen with our association. Be it big or small a procedures can be set up and it will take time, effort, and a little money, possibly. If they cannot do that, then they must hire somebody to handle that situation. I will see with our association how that goes. My sincere thanks for your come back and you have supported my thinking by showing me that there are procedures in black and white that can be followed for Association inspections.

greetings from Colorado, South Carolina. Great. I'm pretty sure I understand the terminologies and my answer would be yes. My life and history has been interesting and I have worked for some of the largest truck manufacturing companies in the world. Do you remember IH trucking company? Starting from apprenticed two assistant managers position and wherever needed in the area I was in.

Recognizing and addressing Association problems is actually quite easy. The last three management companies We have had were so derelict in their duties and responsibilities It was totally disgusting. First, this is what I think I understand.

Management companies and boards not responding to the homeowners needs and requirements breeds apathy. Failure to act in accordance to the laws of our association and be cognizance of homeowners need and questions definitely leads to apathy of the Association. Put short, they don't trust them, they won't ask for help. Following that, a period of time. They end up moving out and that is what I see. A good Association movement of homeowners will be small. The management company and board, failing to recognize homeowners needs result in them picking up stakes and moving out.

But the answer to your question and if I understand it correctly, the answer would be yes, yes, indeed.
Thanks:
Rich.
