Analysis Paralysis
SEPTEMBER 2021 Update: Still no proactive, preventive HOA maintenance and repair plan.
JULY 2, 2019 - No productive action from the Asset Management Project Team.
WE'VE BEEN ASKING FOR INSPECTIONS AND PROACTIVE, PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE FOR OVER FOUR YEARS!
The board announced (3/28/2019) they formed an "Asset Management Project Team." Not an original idea or timely decision. There has been a lack of action and it is costing homeowners thousands of dollars.
We are long overdue for proper inspections and a proactive, preventive maintenance plan. REACTIVE MAINTENANCE IS NOT WORKING!
7/8/2019 WE'RE STILL WAITING TO HEAR FROM THE BOARD ABOUT OUR OFFER TO HELP.
4/2/2019 WE VOLUNTEERED TO WORK WITH THE BOARD TO HELP THEM IMPLEMENT IDEAS AND SUGGESTIONS! NO RESPONSE YET...

Associations carry a treasure trove of information that is highly valuable to hackers.
August 23, 2021
Homeowner associations and management companies are popular targets for hackers looking to gain access to others’ information.
Associations are targets because the HOAs and their management companies have databases full of valuable data such as homeowner names, addresses, social security numbers, bank account information, credit histories, credit card numbers, and dates of birth.
What if a board member has information on individual homeowners, or passcodes that access the HOA and management company's databases and confidential information on their computer or smartphone? And those devices are hacked or stolen?
Or perhaps a cyberthief hacks into the HOA's (or management company's) computer system, pilfering homeowners' confidential information or the HOA's banking information.
