What I find most interesting is what matters the Board is choosing to be the "police" on. Mediating and involvement of Real estate sales of a unit is not listed anywhere in the by laws, nor does a board get to control the free speech concerning negative comments of the property, regardless of who does the talking. The entire episode is heresay of the seller about a scenario or conversation she did not witness (and is most likely magnifying in her own mind). She has a bad track record and temper. She is just mad because the unit did not sell yet. She already went ballistic on the other neighbor and threatened to destroy her property over this issue (again heresay, but I believe this person).
If the board wants to get involved in the Sales of the Complex, they ought to enforce the by- laws of common ground, porch, and halls. There is junk everywhere (this has never been allowed to get this far). Maybe people are put off by the messiness of the complex and grounds. The board could also get involved in water flooding basements (I am sure the word is out). Who wants water issues?
I am staying out of it. I am not even going to answer the email.
Drunks violating the noise ordinate and the use and enjoyment of others, of their own units and grounds, is in the by-laws. These guys have been doing things for years (They are 2 Vietnam Vets and do have guns) They have even been drunk at board meetings. I have learned to avoid them at all costs and they still go off on me about once a year. After the last episode, I told them I would be calling the police if there was any more trouble. Lately they have been targeting people in their own building.
While most of this Board, including the President is inexperienced, 2 members (one is VP and other is treasurer) know better than this. I have a feeling this was not run by the entire board. Being on the Board is a thankless job and most members look out for the community. But some members get drunk with power and are self serving. You hope they are the minority board member. I would think the folks on this board have plenty to do without getting involved in this.
I most likely would never by a condo again. I am in a Townhouse and have much noise issues. But I am really tired of the politics, and weirdo neighbors. I have my own quirks, but some of these folks appear to be dangerous to me. You have got these kinds of people in every complex, and every neighborhood.
