We residents need help. We are being lied to and abused by this association President in power for 20 years and paying herself a salary. We are desperate, our monthly went from $197 to $370 and there is an additional $1,200 being charged to each of the 145 homes in the association. We only see a paper demanding the money but no breakdown or proof from the insurance carrier so we feel taken advantage of. This community has many elderly residents and these amounts are just something most people cannot pay, especially without concrete understanding from insurance. We suspect there has been abuse of power and poor maintenance though the years and the premium went up due to the current state rise but in our case more because of deterioration in our property exteriors. Many roofs are falling, there are pot holes everywhere, no guest parking, pool closed most of the year, pool bathrooms barricaded and drinking fountain disabled, exposed wiring to weather all over property, washed out signs, rotting wood on all buildings, chipped old rotting paint, broken mailboxes and the list goes on. Disturbing smell of cat piss and poop in all grassy areas due to the overwhelming large amount of strays the President and other elderly residents feed but they don’t keep them in their homes, instead they feed cats outside & make them stay there. Cats roam all areas of the property, walk and lay on cars, pee on Amazon packages, barf in people’s front porches and kill small birds in the parking lot leaving the guts and extras exposed and reeking of death. We don’t know what else to do. President assures there is a board but we’ve never met members, gives excuses why they don’t show to meetings. Any small handy man work is given to her personal friend, an old man who can barely stand in the heat. We don’t have monthly meetings only when there are $ increases - we’ve had two during the past year.We are being abused, this person has been running the show and pocketing money without a property management company for two decades. Don’t buy here, I regret that I ever did.
