3 awful CCIOA non compliant years at Cheesman Tower West, Denver.

My complaints:

1.The board is noncompliant with several aspects of CCIOA, and although they know this, have failed to comply with most.

I paid a lawyer $6645 in the fall of 2022 to force them to comply with CCIOA law that allows homeowners to speak before taking a vote on a motion. They were non compliant since 2006, the way I read CCIOA.They did in fact change the governing documents to use the EXACT language in CCIOA about this, less than 2 weeks after the letters from my lawyer. I have told them I will go to small claims court to recoup this money, and they refused my offer to enter into mediation before I file.

The pool here has been closed for 2 YEARS this month, a complete debacle, and NO NOTICE OF common area closure as required by CCIOA, although I have been asking for this for 2 years. There was a notice posted very briefly 2 years ago AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS leadig to the pool entrance, which would be seen by NO ONE unless they went looking for it.

They have NEVER held the owner education meetings outlined in CCIOA.

2. The board is the same people decade after decade, including a real bully, a lawyer, who is allowed to "serve" even though he rarely lives here (our governing document problem), has missed about 50% of all board meetings in the past 3 years, and has sent abusive letters to at least 2 owners. Their decisions show lack of due diligence and failure to act prudently.

The board and management told me several times in the first 18months I lived here that a leak in the underground garage "has been there for years and we don't know where it is coming from".

3. The board has no plan in 3 years to address the glaring shabbiness of what should be an elegant 14 story condo on Cheesman Park. There are constant "bandaids" for immediate problems, most importantly leaks from decrepit water pipes. There are about $1million in work that needs to be done, a blatently underfunded reserve fund to deal with it, and the board REFUSES to discuss the situation at board meetings. I am shut off or the meeting is gaveled closed when I ask for a plan.

4. Their management choices are truly appalling, starting with WESTSTAR management, ineffective, condescending managers from Weststar, who along with the board have hired 3 part time onsite office managers in 3 years , one of whom was so incompetent that she turned the water back on in the building WHILE A PLUMBER WAS STILL WORKING, causing extensive flooding in the lobby and 2 units. They retained her for a while, citing "total confidence" in a real idiot and liability to the building and homeowners.

All this, and much, much more, and I have no recourse because CCIOA has no teeth.

Please GIVE CCIOA ENFORCEMENT AND FINING CAPABILITIES!
