Lazy and incompetent

 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.

       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.

Today

I wish I had photos of what this place looked like when I moved in 2003.
