- Problem-There is no website or any communications about steps owners must take to remodel, repair or conduct plumbing. The only process was Ask for a water turn off. Unit 2 requested a process from Shay Wickline at APS prior to her shower work.
- Garage:
Cladosporium Mold
- Appearance: Cladosporium can appear white or light green, but when it starts to colonize, it may appear fuzzy or cotton-like. Over time, it may turn darker (green or brown), but when it's in the early stages, it can look white and fuzzy.
Record Requests and Email charges to ask questions
- Why are we being charged to see our records and emails when we were never provided woth this information or a schedule of costs when Board Pres Wagner hired Bookeeping service
- Our records were always accessible here until 2020.

Maintenance
- Back wall was hit by trucks (not caused lemon tree. Last year a repairs was promissed. 4 years is a long time for repairs. Please patch the wall or let an owner pay to patch.
- Edco said they can place plastic dumpsters so further damaadge will not occur. Why not?
- Why is are landscaping not gardened properly. We are in La Jolla biut for 4 years the board is uable to effectively maintain our gardens and side yards. Unit 2 has weeded and had to sweep to maintain.
Mediation denied or not scheduled time owner
- For 5 years mediation has been denied by 2020-2025 board of three since 2020. Why? The cost to HOA and Owner has been enormous. No meeting, no discussion. Why? Because "he" decided? This is a law for the Board to manage disputes, not abuse them. Say no to abuse of power and physical pushing by board member-Violence by Board in common area n May 2025.
Building resident Population has grown significantly
- Water and utilities costs increases with resident capacity climbing
- The population in some units is up to 7 people-All 9 owners share utilities but are paying large sums for guests. I propose a guest fee to offset the added costs each owner pays for units with more than 3 residents.
- Resident population and guest cost to all owners. It's not fair that homes with 1-2 residents living in their units pay for the guests of others. We have very large families gathering, staying, driving into our garage and accessing our water, utilitiess, laundyy. Please pro rate these costs and vote for a guest fee to help manage costs fairly
Selective repairs and CCR enforcement
- Selective enforcement applied to one owner-Unit 8 owner simply spoke to Rick about remodel while in Escrow and it was approved by Rick and started before she moved in, without a board vote or prior discussion in HOA meetings. This included plumbing, electrical and water turnoffs without notice. This owner did not get permits initially and was not fined by the board. Fined $41,000 and debt collection letter received
Elder Abuse
The County of San Diego determined that a member of the board is abusing an owner. What does the HOA do to protect elders? Are some elders protected and helped in Zoom and others are blocked?
Reporting Repairs
- Gararge door blinks when need servicing and begins making sounds. Unit 2 is often the one who reports repairs first and made a report in January about the garage door switch blinking yellow for months. We had a regular door service prior to 2020 that kept our doors maintained. Consider regularly scheduled DOOR maintenace. There is increased usage by Amazon, guests using our doors over the past 5 years.
Fair or ?
Why did Unit 2/8 have to pay for leaking roof damadge into their units, but Mary in Unit 3 and Bernice in Unit 9 had repairs handled by HOA?
- Water problems- HOA installed Gutters in 2017, but the project stoped and we have water issues in our common area that will be costly if not repaired.
- Board member Moore called police and Board member. Board President harassing Unit 2 vendor by, filing false reports about my contractor stating he was not licensed, which is false. he is a California Licensed Contractor. See the letter and investigation posted on this site
Pets
- New renters (nice people and nice dog) afforded an exception to the CCR's but an owner of 27 years is blocked from serving on the board?
Emergency APP
- Why do other owners get to discuss their HOA needs in person with board members in meetings but Board will not speak, email or call or resolve -yet others get different access?
- Why are some
- How many owners would like to have had armed police enter their unit because of suspicions by board members that their contractor was not licensed when he is?
State Law
Some units had p traps below and some did not? That's becuase as plumbing issues came up owners (without HOA approval) had plumbers install p traps by widening the hole. Last week the Board filed those holes because the City of San Diego was going to start fining the HOA. Unit 2 offered to fill the holes while she had a license GC here-but was denied.
- Under California Civil Code § 4750, if a homeowner with a disability needs to make modifications to their property (including for accessibility needs such as remodeling a shower), the HOA is generally required to allow these modifications, provided that:
- Reasonable Accommodation: The modifications are necessary for the homeowner’s ability to enjoy the property due to a disability.
- The Modifications Are Reasonable: The modification cannot pose an undue burden on the HOA or other residents.
- HOA Review: The HOA may still review the modification to ensure it does not negatively impact the property value or the safety of the community, but they cannot unreasonably deny a request for modifications related to accessibility.
- Unit 3-Up to Six residents and multiple pets. CCR's say one pet.
- unit 4-Two residents plus Dog over 40 lbs-Allowed by August 2024 Board(what documentation did the board receive to approve?
- Unit 5 One -two residents
- Unit 6 Two to six residents, M-S Day care of two infants
- Unit 7 Two to Six residents + M-S Day care of two small children + pet
- Unit 8 One resident
- Unit 9 One resident + dog
Common area storage lockers are for storage. Parking is for parking.
- Unit 6 has blocked Unit 2's access to Unit's plumbing w/furniture and multiple vehicles. Please ask Board member Unit 6 to remove her excess storge so other units can access plumbing
- All other units provide plumbing access. This owner is now on board and refuses to move her items and plumbers must crawl over storage in parking to access plumbing. Owner of unit 6 pushed owner after approved plumbing started and water dripped on her surfboards and illegally stored items.
- Unit 4 had numerous water turn off's without any notice to building-Why can board members turn water off for repairs but unit 2 could not without one week notice each time?
- Selective enforcement occurs when the HOA chooses to enforce (wrongly) against one owner and not the others
Example of selective enforcement is illegal
Selective enforcement occurs when the HOA chooses to enforce (wrongly) against one owner and not the others
Unit 6 Installed electric outlet on patio without an electrical permit-Selective enforcement. She was not fined by the Board or cited.
- Unit 1- Storage is outside of intended storage area. Please remove
Resident /Board Member conducted electircal outlet work without a permit in the laundry room
Nice things for some
- Unit 8-Requested plater moved-Done by board
- Board denied Unit 2's request to speak to neighbor building about not taking trash out weekly, which creates bug problem in summer
- Unit 6 Installed electric outlet on patio without an electrical permit-Selective enforcement
- Unit 1- His personal swing is stored in common area-No other unit is allowed to have any personally owned furniture in common area. Unit 1 is practicing selective enforcement
- Elevator was red tagged in November- but board hid this fact from owners.
- Roof leaked for years. No inspection, despite owner asking for schedule of repairs to be followed
