Condo Q&A

Condo president can't collect on assessments for building repairs

My husband became President of the condo association since July 2011. Our building of 10 units urgently needs roof repair services before winter. After two meetings, we voted for a contractor and acknowledge the cost. However, my husband finds difficulties to collect the special assessment. In fact, three units are fall behind their association fees. And, two units are in foreclosure. My husband wants to hire lawyers, but they insist the board members should consist of three persons. The problems is that no one other than him and one of owners willing to be board members. What should he do? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
