What About Condos & Homeowners Who Follow Rules?

I have served on my condo community's HOA Board for over five years. My first issue with 22-1137 is that the law does not address the issues that homeowners living in condos face. We live literally on top of and right next to each other. Most of our violations can be cured in a matter of moments, but by law residents now have 60-days+ to fix something that should take only five minutes. I understand that single-family homes are very different and some violations such as dealing with weeds or removing a fence that is non-conforming takes time. Moving junk off the common area landscape should take no more than moments. Please consider different rules based on the type of community.

The other even more egregious issue is that I have homeowners literally coming to me in tears because they have paid their dues faithfully for years and never broken any rule, but they see that those who do neither are rewarded. Those who follow the rules must pay the increased costs mandated by 1137. Their dues go up to cover those who don't pay and are given years to bring their account current. What am I to tell them? The simple fact is that all the new mandates in 1137 both raise the amount of money we have to spend while at the same time allowing other residents to break the rules with impunity and to fail to pay their dues for months if not years.

I fear this task force will only make matters worse for this condo community. GLV
