Until the majority of us unite...

the sleaze bags that are running our building are going to continue to push us. We cannot ever expect them to do what is right. They are dishonest and immoral people that are only concerned about their own pockets. It is like we are all waiting for them to be honest and do what is right, and in the mean time they are looking for other ways to milk us dry. I only see one way of stopping them and that is for the majority of us to put our money where our mouth is. If we sit back and let all the others complain, things will only get worse. If the majority of us would hire a lawyer, the cost would be minimal compared to all the monies they have added on over the years to our bills. Even if we just tackled one item at a time, like the parking, I think we would all feel better about our investment. As owners we are entitled to one parking space per unit, we should not have to pay anyone for that use. That place is ours 365 days a year. If we got 30 or 40 owners to commit to a law suit, we would probably win and make them pay for our attorneys. NO ONE else is going to do this for us. I am willing to coordinate this from Kansas, but only if I get some response from the majority.

if anyone would like to register a complaint with the state....

here is the IP Address

http://www.myfloridalicense.com/dbpr/lsc/documents/complaint_001.pdf

The state handles complaints concerning condominium regulation(i.e. elections, homeowners rights, improper or crooked accounting of homeowner associations, encroachment of common area, serving on the Board of Directors for self gain, ect..)
print it up, fax it in, I don't see much of a future in this building if people don't start looking out for their rights...

Increased Parking Fees

I had people renting my unit Saturday they were told that parking went up from $7.00 to $19.00.They told me that Ocean Manor had a vote and that is the policy (no exceptions).I went to Ocean Manor to reimburse my clients $12.00.I asked the parking attendant the new policy.The policy for guest is $7.00 for 4 days, and than it is a additional $2.00 per day for any additional days.if you have a person staying 30 days it will be $59.00.

I have rented my units to the end of Feb, and I told the people that the valet parking is free with a one time $7.00 registration fee.Now I and going to have to reimburse my clients the parking,this will cost me hundreds of dollars.

If you go to http://www.bamboobeachtikibar.com/ Frank posted all the commercial events he has held in his residential penthouse unit.

They have built a 12 foot by 12 foot permanent commercial BAR-B-Q in our common area,to sell hamburgers and hotdog's.

CAN YOU BELIEVE OUR PRESIDENT?

Most presidents of condo associations are rule enforcers. If you park your car crooked in your parking spot you will get a notice.

Frank, our president of Ocean Manor, advertises on a web site, Swinger parties. He hosts meet and greet at the bar, after hours parties in his residential penthouse unit with a D.J. and advertises as special love swing. He also advertises a special room rate of $70 per night for swingers. In the middle of the night you have swingers switching rooms.

I remember in the last meeting he said do not blame him for all the wildness at spring break. He said that it is not him, it is other unit owners. Frank went so far as to say he even hired another security guard (he was the good guy do not blame him).

By the way, when is the next meeting? I cannot wait. When are we going to get the certified financial for 2008? They are only 8 months late.

Parking @ the Ocean Manor

Am I being singled out as a malcontent? I had just received word that my van parked @ Ocean Manor, was left with the passenger side window down, and a left rear tire flat. I haven't been there in months.

Last Wednesday my brother who lives in Jupiter came by to start it up, check the tires , and all was fine. As I have previously stated, anyone who leaves a car in our lot should leave the keys. It was my thought that the Valets would look after the vehicles entrusted in their care. I would hate to think I was wrong.

This is a call to have the owner's parking spots, which we are entitled to in our By Laws, once again to be fought for. I have looked upon the City of Fort Lauderdale for the Special Permits Section, and I have not been able to pin it down. Any help on that front would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You
