I own a condo in Connecticut where the Board approved an emergency assessment for a lawsuit settlement. The lawsuit was filed by an owner over water damage to his unit only roughly 5 years ago. There are only 3 people on the board, all self appointed, and one of which (the president) no longer lives here. At one point we had tried to vote in a new president but the property management company (who was hired by the presidents brother) refuses to recognize our efforts stating that there were not enough votes as many owners did not show for that meeting. Instead they recognize a person with no votes to act for all of us. Also it seems that if the water damage had been properly handled by going through insurance, then this wouldn't have happened to begin with. On top of that the lack of transparency if startling. This assessment is due in less that a month and it's going to take much longer than that to get any answers. In the mean time the management company will enforce late fees and threaten foreclosures as they have in the past. Anyone with any answers or ideas of how I can get myself on the board to try and prevent further actions such as these, your words will be appreciated. Thank you for reading. Jon
