What is the name of your state? North Carolina
Homeowners in our neighborhood are having trouble getting the board of directors and management association to abide by North Carolina law General Statutes chapter 47F-1-101, (North Carolina Planned Community Act http://www.ncga.state.nc.us/statutes/generalstatutes/html/bychapter/chapter_47f.html), bylaws, and service agreements.
Specific HOA issues ignored include proper meeting notifications, quorum requirements, budget ratification (pet projects threaten to use up our entire reserves without a vote), and by-law enforcement.
Specific management company issues include failure to attend meetings, return calls, acknowledge letters, provide documents and records, enforce governing documents and perform site visits.
The board and the management company also require community volunteer "committees" to process all architectural requests, provide all community communications, coordinate all work estimates for common areas, coordinate sub-contractor work, and handle any problems in common areas.
How can we get the management company to do its job, or replace it with a better management company?
How can we get our HOA back into working, legal order and get our management company to work for us, without going broke? Individual letters and calls to the board and management association are simply ignored. The HOA has a lawyer, who we have not contacted yet. Would he be simply an agent of the board and management company or would he be legally obliged to help us force them to get back on track? What would be the best way to approach him, if we can do so as individual homeowners?
All ideas are greatly appreciated. THANK YOU!
