This proposal aims to enhance community operations while reducing costs through innovative, owner-developed solutions that benefit all residents.

Since Serial Meeting HOA takeover Owners do not have access or ability to share documents because a UCSD Zoom is used and controlled by Unit that took over illegally.

He hid in a unit with 3 others -but did not invite all 9 owners, then took over and began his " I want her gone" campaign. He hired a law firm and redirected over 27% of our monthly HOA to a monthly retainer that has been sent to Epsten law since 2021. Our HOA now has emergency capital repairs and is not making loan payments (as of May meeting) to Epsten. Owners were not aware of a loan until an Owner asked about the loan and if it was paid off. "No , we stopped making payments, but Dont you worry we will recover it in June"

In 2024 our bookeeper stoped making our HOA water payments. She said " we did not receive a bill". Then the bill came, thousands and drained our operating budget or we faced a water turn off notice. Even though I saw water turn off notice -it was not disclosed to owners. 

We don;t receive info about loans or red tag elevator or water turn off. The self managed building is hiding the issues from the 9 unit self managed building and so formal record requests and this website is designed to inform other owners.

April 2024 -A board member refused to move her private things in her parking spot for a plumber. The pipes are above her parking. When water dripped on her surfboard and things stored outside the locked, provided storage in her parking, she and her boyfriend came up to the unit to harrass plumber and demand he dry her things. Then when Owner said-no, we don't need to continue to dry as we provided notice weeks in advance-she pushed owner. Physical violence is here in this building by a current board member. 

A new owner completely remodeled her unit and had water turned off without notice -she was not fined, but one unit had to gain HOA meeting approval to do work, and the Board member called 911 after plumber began work. It's called selective enforcement and its illegal.

One board member rented her unit with a dog that exceeds 45# CCR limit. Its called selective enforcement.

One Board member who served through 2024 has multiple pets, despite CCR's that Prohibit. It's called selective enforcement.

One owner (current and past Board president unit from 1980-2009 did not pay their dues. It's called embezzlement. Board refused to agendize.
