Home Owners Association…
Aug 22I’m carefully and very sincerely considering a battle with my neighborhood HOA. As I was leaving for work yesterday, I saw a yard crew diligently spread throughout the street at several houses mowing, tampering in flowerbeds and blowing debris into the street, I figured, I shouldn’t have a problem, I weeded the flower bed and mowed the lawn just a week ago. Come home to find the flower bed has been all aerated, weeds still present, and the mulch now sloppily disturbed. All of which will accrue a fee on the house’s account with the HOA.
I think I may start talking to certain neighbors about their experience with Sterling Association Services, and work something up as a community.
Considering that at our section of the neighborhood, which is farthest from the community recreation center including pool, the jogging trail has never been finished behind our houses – leaving our fences in the back open for vandalism in the dark (since there are other entrances to the trail further down the street but no lights behind our houses). Meaning that any fees we may pay, are not directly providing for our section’s safety or conformity. However restriction enforcement abounds regardless, and personally, I feel persecuted because of my parents former disregard for the regulations, it seems our house is more scrutinized and if it’s not one thing it’s another – I take care of one thing they point out another. I’ve wondered how many people are having a similar experience but just dealing with it silently.
I think it’s time to revolt… or at least play smarter.
