| Property repair issue, PA
What is the name of your state? Pennsylvania
I purchased in a community. Without notice, the Property Owner's Assn dug a ditch in the front of my property, supposedly for drainage. Although my dues were supposed to go towards road repair and drainage, I was told I would have to buy drainage pipe. They gave me the name and number of the contractor, and also told me I could get it from a supply place. I didn't want to make waves, and just wanted it fixed, so I called the contractor, 8 times. He did not respond to me. I then, to avoid delays, ordered pipe through a supply co. Several months later I was told that my repair was not done because the pipe was the wrong size. I had it exchanged. This began April of 2004. I am still waiting for it to be repaired. I do not know where to turn. The POA is not returning my calls. I had gone to a POA meeting, to find out what was going on. I was assured that the contractor would fix it when he came to do another street. Apparently, the other street was completed, and mine is still not done. Their excuses are faulty. They built an Administration Building across the street from my property since that time, and IT was paved- the driveways, and the parking lot. Still mine is not done. It's a hazard, and a hardship. I had stone put down right before this started, and it's washed away. Since the street on the other side of the U-shaped driveway is riddled with potholes, it's even harder to get in & out of the place. I cannot get deliveries, nor can I get my driveway plowed. The Administration Building is only open in the mornings, and even though they are making oodles of money on POA dues- which they raise each year- by a percentage they allow, then they round it UP, which negates the percentage anyway, they rent out the Admin Building, and pay $70,000 a year for someone to plow and cinder the community, which he's not doing, where's the money going? What recourse might I have? My property value has gone DOWN, even in this economy when all the property in the area is increasing. I have tried calling many people, and all I hear is that they cannot help me. Is there anyone out there who can? The location is Timber Hill Community in Henryville, PA.
