HOA member disputes with property manager and loses privileges


Question:

I take great pride in paying all of my bills on time and have always paid my maintenance fees in a timely manner. I was upset with the property manager as I asked her to raise one stone in my sidewalk so that it wouldn't fill with water and freeze. To my amazement, one day I opened my front door to see my entire sidewalk gone and a few men were starting to put a new sidewalk or possibly even the same sidewalk back down. I questioned the property manager about why she would replace the whole sidewalk because I was the last one to move in and had the newest sidewalk as I purchased a model with grass in front. I liked the original sidewalk and would never ever want it replaced and waste the money of the association. Because I questions the PM, she started to give me fake fines and I am too stubborn to pay fines that I do not deserve. The condo president told the PM to remove all of my fines but she was really angry with me so she didn't remove any of them. My daughter and I have not been able to use the clubhouse, the computer, the wonderful library, the pool or the gym because of the fines we have that are not real as I still am using the same light bulb. The pool, clubhouse, and gym take a lot of our maintenance fee and I feel if a board member who is late with payment is able to stay on the board, then why am I not able to use any of the amenities. I just can't believe that normal honest people would stop me from using the amenities when I told them I never had a burned out light bulb and never received a warning. The PM is married to the owner of the management company so the books can be altered and fines sent and post dated as this has been done. I save every bit of mail from our property mangement company. and I never received a warning. Is it true that you can't use the pool, gym, clubhouse, etc. if you were given fake fines and questioned the PM who is allowed to do as she pleases with her husband's company? Does anyone know if this is really allowed. I live in New Jersey.
