Question:
have several questions,
1. We bought a condo 54 months ago and at tIhe first year the HOA fee was $625.00 a month, it was decided from the property management company and the board to paint the buildings so they raised the HOA fee so for over 4 years now we have been paying a higher assessment fee nothing has been painted and any time it is brought up its a new reason why it has not been painted so they just table it to the next meeting
2. from the very first month I have brought up at several meetings and also via emails and phone calls to the property manager that the lights are on 3 hours prior to the sun going down and 4 hours after the sun comes up just seems to fall on deaf ears
3. when a storm hit the area we suffered substantially, with some damage I have special assessment insurance and have been asking the property manager for paid invoices and to date have only received some of the requested information
even what they did send the total numbers do not total correctly

Answer:
Hi Ed,
You can request copies of your association’s financial statements to see where your money is going if it’s not towards the painting expense. Boards are required to set dues to meet the needs of the association’s budget. Check your governing documents as well to see if they can shed any light on your complaints, such as the operating hours of lights and records request deadlines. If you are unsatisfied with the board, consider removing or replacing the members.
