Letter to the Property Manager and Board members and response
It is now March 12, 2026 and we still DO NOT have all the umbrellas on the pool deck and NO HEATER for the pool. The owners have been asking for the umbrellas to be replaced that were broken since last season. Florida is known as ‘the Sunshine State’ for a good reason. Please repair and replace the broken umbrellas and pool heater. This is your main objective as property manager and Board members.

Mr. Bolton,
The umbrellas are being picked up by Anthony next week. The pool heater proposal was approved, and we are working closely with the vendor on completion within the upcoming couple of weeks. Another update will be sent to the community, accordingly, tomorrow within the community weekly update via eblast.
Thank you.
2026 Season
Another season is nearing the end
As of April 19, 2026, the pool heater has neither been replaced, repaired nor installed. The Board’s continued failure to address this essential amenity in a timely manner, particularly as seasonal owners depart, constitutes a material lapse in its maintenance obligations.
Only two umbrellas were installed in late March, and only after multiple work orders were submitted without timely response. This pattern reflects a disregard for routine maintenance requests and established owner concerns.
The rust condition on balcony 409 remains unaddressed. A request for interim mitigation (painting) pending permanent repair was not acted upon. The failure to implement even temporary protective measures may accelerate deterioration and exposes the Association to avoidable damage and potential liability.
Accordingly, the Board is hereby placed on notice that the continued deferral of necessary maintenance and repairs may constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties and obligations under the governing documents and applicable law. Prompt corrective action is expected to mitigate further risk and exposure.
All rights and remedies are hereby expressly reserved, including those available under Florida Statutes Chapter 719 and the Association’s governing documents.
This is the main issue that this website has been calling for since it was created nearly a decade ago

Perspective of the Day
Should Palm Beach County create stricter regulations for HOA property management companies after repeated complaints about lack of transparency and poor maintenance?
The recently passed legislation for FL state statutes governing condos and HOA's have provided real teeth in enforcement of transparency. Research FL statutes and you will see. The property manager has had much of these issues placed directly on their back. Use the DBPR complaint portal and it will guide you. All complete financials, contracts, bids etc... Must now be posted on a webportal if more than 25 units. The property manager must post these or a dark mark is placed on their license, then can escalate to suspension. Everything became effective Jan 1, 2026. We just went through it and within 3 weeks of DBPR accepting the complaint EVERYTHING is now online. Go For It!! It's sort of unfair to the PM because they must now refuse orders of non-transparency from the board & their boss. They deserve a raise for this. But that's the law now.
AIRDEKO Mini-Split A/C cover
If you are considering buying an Air Conditioner Cover for your balcony, I recommend the AIRDEKO Covers. Go to www.Airdeko.com. Look at the Mini Split air conditioner covers. They come in three sizes depending on your needs. Feel free to ask me any questions and even see it installed on our balcony. We bought it through Amazon and installed it ourselves.
