Last year was the first year the Highland Condominium had an election for the board over the 13 years the present members have held the positions. That was only because I complained to the board that they have been breaking state laws for years. I have no idea what they are doing with all the money they take in but it has nothing to do with the maintenance or upkeep of the property.
Below is a copy of the letter I sent the board on August 27 of this year.
August 27, 2024
People have
been calling and emailing me about my last blog post, it has been overwhelming.
Asking me of the who, what, when, where and why the place has become the
shithole that it is today. A few people have come to see for themselves the
deteriorating conditions we have here.
The most asked
question is, “What are they hiding “? I tell them there are unit owners that
have been asking the same questions for years. One board member recently told
me, “I remain on the board because no one else has any interest in
doing it. “That was a total lie, there were people that were
interested last year and nominated for her position when they finally had their
first election in 13 years. But she is still on the board and refuses to yield
her position to anyone that actually wants it.
One of the many reasons they
continue to get away with this is because the turnover of ownership is so fast.
People don’t realize what this place was like and what it has become today. They
just see it for what it is.
The easy
solution to that problem is to make the “Highland Condo “email address
available to all the unit owners to read for themselves what everyone thinks.
But that will never happen as long as the present board members continue to run
things.
Carol Weaver (works
at Rensselaer County Legislature – Democratic Minority) informed me the board
is responsible for the repairs to the sidewalk and we would face lawsuits should
anyone get hurt. But hey, just another day at the Highland Condos.
I can’t help
but wonder how many City Council Meetings has any member of the board went to
over the last 14 years to ask for help? Or actually walk around the back of the
condo to inspect the terrible job the people they hire do? In a few more years
the weeds will be up to everyone’s back door. Incompetent people hiring
incompetent people.
