I reported in October of 2007 visual dry rot or water damage on the external HOA area of my balcony also the other two adjacent have visually the same damage.

I have my own hand written note that I submitted this to the board in 10/07. Nothing has been done, only 1 estimate has been done.

I asked to have this be another agenda item this month and see what they are doing. I clearly made reference to my 6 mo ago request, and asked for this to be repaired asap. When does legal action need to be investigated? ( I am wondering how long this will drag out and at what point to I ask for a prompt repair or I will bring out my request and proof of such and make a visit to our HOA atty? ) It seems to have to be the norm to get a fire going around here to get anything going.

At what point is it insane to what any longer and seek legal advisement?

Noelle,
Do you have a management company or P.M.? That would be the person to send a letter to with copies to each Board member. Some Boards are just lazy when it comes to fixing things that are in need of repair. You must have a formal request sheet or some form that the Board uses for repair requests. Just keep hammering away at the request. Legal action is the very last resort because it cost all of the membership including yourself.
