On November 13th there will be a condo owners meeting with elections for new members. For at least the last 14 years Rhona and Carl have controlled the board. It's long pass time to move on from the incompetence that the condos have suffered under their leadership. And now they plan on raising the fees 50 dollars a month. They have done almost nothing with the money they do take in.
The owners have spent a lot of money buying these homes and a lot of money each month for the maintenance. Maintenance we are not getting. This is more than just your home , it is an investment for the future . Ask yourself , do you really want to trust your investment for another year with the present board members?
We don't need new fees we need new board members .
On the first page is the letter I wrote and sent to the New York State Attorney's office in February 2018.They replied twice , the first time to state they will be looking into it. The second time they wrote that I should consult with a lawyer and sent a link for Lawyers in the State . Since last year I have wrote the Rensselaer District Attorney's office twice asking them to look into the problems here. I never heard back from them.
The second page is the resignation letter TJ Kennedy sent out . The first thing that came to mind was where is the almost 60,000 dollars he stated that was collected in back dues? When I asked Carl about this he said they didn't collect any money and that was all I have ever heard about it.
In the third letter are a few of the many e-mails shared between the board and myself about the mess they have created by not doing their job. In protest I informed them that I would stop paying condo fees. There is also the ridiculous replacement of mailboxes that I never asked for or was asked if I wanted one. Nor do I know of anyone that asked for a new one.
In October of 2017 there was a condo meeting where I told Carl and Rhona about a dangerous situation with a tree in the back of unit 36-38 . Carl was told multiple times about the situation since. At the end of March or early April we had an ice storm . The lower branch of the tree was approximately 10 feet from my back window and the upper branch sitting on the roof from all the weight of the ice. I told Carl I was going to call the insurance company and notify them of the situation if it wasn't removed. A couple of weeks later it was . But what really amazed me was that Carl e-mailed me asking what tree it was. 7 YEARS !!! And he didn't even know what tree it was.
So I ask you all again , is this the people that you want taking care of your investment? It's long pass time for change and you can all make it happen November 13th .
The notices that I placed in most mailboxes were also sent on to our local news agencies , bloggers and political mouth pieces . There is now lots of people watching what happens here at the condos.
