As President of my condominium association, the burden of condo problems falls upon me. Luckily, our condo consists of only 19 owners, thus we encounter few problems each year. And with the help of my very supportive officers the problems are quickly resolved. But it’s amazing that more often than not, the problems arise from the same few inconsiderate and uncooperative neighbors.
Recently one of the owners, Joel, without previous approval, rolled several large boulders from the perimeter of his property to the common area. As a result the Board began making arrangements to remove the boulders. But we learned that Joel had told Joan, another neighbor, she could have them. As a courtesy to Joan, I called to tell her that we would not take any action, if she would like to remove them in the next couple weeks.
Well, I couldn’t believe her response. She caustically said she was too busy now. She’ll take care of it when she can and I shouldn’t get myself all into a twit (or something like that). I silently waited for her to finish her tirade and knowing there was nothing more to say, I replied simply, “That’s not acceptable, and I’ll get back to her after I talk to the Board.”
It’s a shame she didn’t attempt to be cooperative, because now the Board has decided to send a message to all the owners letting them know that if anyone might like the boulders they are welcome to take them. Meantime, it’s just too bad Joel dumped the boulders on the common area in the first place. However, I shouldn’t complain. If I don’t like the job of President, I can always quit.
