Small HOA, about 20 units. Board president pushes through an “emergency” special assessment for major repairs after claiming the building is at risk. No real bids shared, just says they have a “trusted contractor.” Homeowners are told work needs to start immediately or insurance could be impacted. A few months later, someone pulls records and finds out the contractor is owned by the board president’s brother in law.
No disclosure. No competitive bids. Work hasn’t even started!
Now the board is saying everything was done in good faith and the delay is just “logistics.”
No vote from members. No clear paper trail explaining the emergency. Just a lot of “trust us.”
Curious to see what the different approaches could look like to this train wreck 🪨 🚂
