  Threatened with fines during covid

  by KLM, about 1 year ago
  In 2020 when covid began to hit our communities while people were feeling the effects of crisis and financial instability, Harvest Park HOA had gone through our neighborhood and began to threaten people with fines for minimal weeds. Numerous people were threatened with these fines while trying to navigate a global crisis. It was unnecessary and only added to people’s increased stress and worry. Many felt it was a way the HOA tried to increase their profits during this unstable time.

  Open Space Flooding

  by Teresa, about 1 year ago
  Open space behind my house has flooded every single spring & HOA continued to swear it was responsibility of Town of Parker. This year it got so bad that I started to push harder on my neighbor & friend who is also the HOA board president. Ironically it effects her back yard as well but has refused to get board to address it. Open space on opposite side of my yard fence is flooded probably a 20 ft by 40 ft area easily & has been for months. I started begging them to do something in June but was told... Continue reading

  I guess we are very lucky to live in an HOA, where all the neighbors are friendly and helpful. We have a "neighbors helping neighbors" kind of neighborhood. We have volunteers running the HOA, so maybe that's why we can keep the costs down. The only problem I can see is finding someone to fill a position, if the need arises, but we usually find one of us to volunteer. That in itself keeps the cost down for all of us. Every morning we take a walk around the neighborhood, sometimes several of us, and sometimes just a few. We've... Continue reading

  Our Cottonwood Ridge HOA has 21 single dwellings. The HOA Board is made up of elected residents. All seems to work perfectly--when problems arise the Board handles them. Residents participate in solving any problems that need input and also gathering for HOA social activities. We've lived here 9 years and have been extremely satisfied.

  HOA required repairs to property taking an excessive amount of time

  by Dan, about 1 year ago
  The Townhome Complex I live in was affected by the Marshal fire. The fire swept into our complex causing major damage to a large number of our properties as well as burning up a considerable number of shrubs and trees in the common area. After a year and 8 months since the fire there is still one entire 4-plex building that was mostly destroyed, and other than having the remains of the building removed, there has been no progress on starting the rebuild. Also, some of the destroyed landscaping (trees mainly) have not been remediated. In my case, there are... Continue reading

  Conflict of interest

  by Ps5168, about 1 year ago
  It seems that it is a conflict of interest to have a HOA board completely consisting of homeowners. If you have multiple buildings that need repairs, some homeowners|board members do not want to raise the dues because they are on fixed incomes. Hence, you get a complex in disrepair and needing emergency fixes which cost more. Then the board member do not get reelected because they have been forced to raise the news from a previous board I would like to see at least 50% of a board be outside professionals that are paid to sit on an HOA board...

  Stay out of HOA matters

  by glowell, about 1 year ago

  This is another classic case of government meddling where they don't belong. Because of state legislation, our HOA can no longer enforce one of our major covenants - the forbidding of residents placing travel trailers, RVs, golf carts and boats on the public roads within our HOA. We can't enforce HOA rules on public roads. Good job, progressive politicians!

  Not all HOA's are the same

  by DianeN, about 1 year ago
  HOA's manage different types of property. Some are single family homes, some are townhouses, some are condominiums. Legislation should not broadly legislate all HOA's but should specify which entities to which they apply and should consider the ownership. For example, regulations that say HOA's can't prevent xeriscaping or solar shouldn't apply to condos where the unit owner does not own any of the land individually nor the roofs on which the solar would be installed.

  A Broken Screen ? Really?

  by Drewzer71, about 1 year ago
  I live in a covenant hoa. I inherited a unit in a building in Windsor, Colorado. My mother transfered ownership is 2012, after having purchased it for an investment. I am on the bottom/ ground floor and there are people renting the unit above mine. I recently feel like I've been targeted or singled out by not only the management company that manages the association, but also by the other owners or HOA members. 1 individual owns several units including the one above mine. He also serves as President of the HOA. His renters have flooded my condo 4 times... Continue reading
