What kind of lawyer handles harassment caused by HOA that is ruining my life?
I am a retired nurse and have lived my life with Narcolepsy and with medication I was able to graduate from nursing school, keep a home, work as a nurse, be a Mom, daughter and wife, etc.
In 2006 I asked the person who managed our condo to lift one stone in my sidewalk that was lifted by the previous management company and it solved the problem of ice forming there. To my amazement the entire sidewalk was replaced. At that time I was annoyed and asked the management person why she would replace a perfect sidewalk when I wanted one stone lifted.
Since I asked that question about why she replaced my sidewalk, I have been harassed by the HOA and management company and I have gotten fake fines, no answers to my emails, many things that need to be addressed are not. We are not able to call our board members so I cannot seem to get anything solved since the mgm. person and her husband who owns the company will not reply to my emails. .
I also have a back area to my condo and that area is covered with brown dirt, green moss and a few strands of grass. My HOA and management company refuse to fix my back yard even though I pay my maintenance fee on time monthly. I decided it wasn't worth the misery to live here and I bought a home in Sept. 2008. The person who wanted to buy my condo changed their mind when they saw the condition of the back area of my condo as it was truly a mess and I do not blame them.
I am ready to list my property with a real estate agent but before I got a chance to list it, the HOA and mgm. person decided to change my roof which had a 40 year guarantee and was at that time 21 years old and still under guarantee. I was forced to get 7 new skylights that turned out to be the cheapest ones made by Velux. The mgm. person would never inform us of the skylights that were going to replace our upscale skylights. I fought the replacement of the skylights but the lawyer for the Enclave wrote a letter to Con. Affairs saying that the professional engineer said the skylights had to be replaced. I thought the decision was wrong but who I am to go against an engineer as I have no training and only common sense. . The Velux 5 retail skylights replaced upscale skylights that today have to be custom made. I refused to pay for the skylights because they are not equal to the value of the ones removed and they actually turned out to be defective with condensation between the glass.
Before the new skylights were completely finished, two leaked and ruined my living room furniture & bedroom custom made bedspread; but the lawyer for the condo sent me a letter saying I was fabricating the damage when no one came to look at my furniture and bedspread.
The new skylights have lowered the price of my condo as it is no longer worth the money it was worth with the upscale skylights. Many interested buyers want the original condos with the upscale skylights, solid wood doors, brass hinges, etc. No other person living here with the original skylights all four condo owners had to replace are being forced to replace theirs possibly because of all the information I gave the HOA about how good they were as I bought my condo from the builder and was informed of all of these upgrades. The so called professional engineer had a degree in Zoology.
At this point right now, I own another home and this condo as I had a buyer for my condo who won't buy it now because of the condition of the grounds. I am paying taxes and upkeep on two homes. I was informed by the twp. engneer and a building inspector that my neighbor used when she moved next door that there is a drainage problem that might even effect the slab under my condo. .
The worse is that my Narcolepsy which was treated perfectly with medication is greatly affected by stress and I am no longer able to do anything I once enjoyed doing. I use to volunteer for Hospice, socialize with friends, go to plays, out to dinner, keep up my condo and even had a beautiful garden.
With the stress I have to live with right now, I am having a hard time getting out of bed and taking a shower as I am so very tired all the time. Narcolepsy can't handle stress and the medication doesn't work with great deals of stress. .
The management person has been telling contractors not to go near me or my daughter as we might file a sexual harassment suit against them and this is absolutely untrue.
About 5 years ago, one of the presidents of the HOA made a comment to my daughter that if she went out for a 2 drink minimum he would fix our property. My daughter made a comment that it was sexual harassment but that is all. The mgmt. person is telling contractors who tell her that something has to be fixed on our condo to stay away from us as we may file a sexual harassment suit against them. Honestly, the smart ones do not believe her but still they cannot repair anything without the management p

This is too long. No one is going to read it.
Any general practice attorney could tell you about whether you have a harassment claim or not.
Real estate lawyers deal with POA /HOA actions
Any Civil Attorney can handle it for you.
Apparently: you asked for a repair be made to fix an issue – then proceeded to give them grief over how they solved the problem. They agreed to your request then resolved the problem in the manner they felt was the most appropiate.
Maybe you should have ‘left well enough alone.’
BTW – just because a roof is still under warranty does not necessirally mean that it does not need to be replaced. Another issue for you to consider is that you just admitted that the existing skylights were no longer made.
It sounds like you were a person who was never satisfied and managed to alienate the people who were running your HOA.
