The Board stonewalled all my attempts to get information regarding the Facade project - a project that was costing the association millions of dollars. Over the previous 3 years, the Board had a very high end architectural firm tell them that the facade needed $4,500,000 in repairs. So far the Board had raised and spent $2.1 million. But few "permanent" repairs had been done. The maintenance fees were skyrocketing and more than 30% higher than comparable condos surrounding us. In addition, as all the revenues that were not for utilities and employee wages were going to the facade, the inside of the building was looking seedier and seedier.
It wasn't until the information freeze that I became concerned. Up 'til then I thought that the board was simply not good at communicating info.
Then the Board put out the next budget and the proposed 10% hike caused previously kindly, little old ladies to turn into angry screechers. The time was ripe for a revolution....
