Most home owners associations I have ever dealt with are lil KGB Nazi wanna-be’s.
I have no use for any of them
Good for Mr. Vizzi. I’d have sued their t!ts off too.
I won’t buy a house with an HOA - It’s ridiculous that they might be allowed to foreclose on property because of trivial matters.
Yes. Most are busy bodies that have nothing to do and are simple minded idiots. Part of the wannabe power hungry that have to make up rules so they can act gestapo like and exercise their power. Remember the case of the guy that wanted to fly the American flag?
I had a nightmare situation with the last (and hopefully final) HOA I was with.
My own neighborhood covenant has a law against putting political signs in your own yard. I violated that code in 2008 as did a number of other residents. The upshot: nobody did or said anything to us.
The proof of this statement is found in the press release from the man's lawyers - the total cost to the HOA is around $ 300,000 and the bill will be paid by the other home owners. That's right the little children running the HOA will pay very little out of their personal checking accounts. The children lost the first case and since they didn't have to pay for the appeal why not appeal?
Want to correct this problem? Make the leaders of HOAs post cash bonds to pay judgments relating law suites initiated by the HOAs. That way only important cases will go to court and the number of losses appealed will go down
