HOA vs. Homeowner

The purpose of this section is to establish guidelines for determining whether your issue is something the HOA is responsible for, or if it’s something you need to address as an individual homeowner.  Even if it’s something you are responsible for, we’ll try to point you in the right direction (see Vendors). 

Vendor List

Unfortunately, Edward didn’t leave us any information regarding the vendors he used during his renovation.  Therefore, if you know who any of his vendors were please list them here.  Also, as we move forward we want to compile a list of solid vendors.  So if you discover a good company for repairs, maintenance or other services, please add their information here. 

The Abitare Social Scene

Abitare homeowners, let us party!  We will use this section to announce any upcoming social events.  Please feel free to post information about any other cool events as well. 

HOA Board

This section identifies the HOA Board members and outlines their group and individual responsibilities.  Please use this information to determine which member you should contact – depending on your current problem or concern. 

Feedback

Here’s a place for us to voice general comments about Abitare.  If you have a specific concern, please visit the HOA Board section.  Soon we will have a breakdown of which responsibilities each board member has been assigned.  This will allow you to determine who to contact regarding specific issues.

 Meeting opened: 

• Vince from AC Mechanical joined to discuss Heating issues in 2 units.
  • Walked us thru wiring issues and options to fix problem
  • Nail hit some wiring during building construction in unit 202, Homeowner in 202 reached out to Edward in 2006 but he didn’t fix it.
  • Unit 101 has a separate issue where the wiring isn’t functioning properly
  • As of now we do not know of any other units suffering similar problems
• 3 options available
  •  
    • Run new wiring – involves floor/wall and cost is unknown
    • Wireless thermostats – 500/600 bucks for kit…+ installation
    • Self-contained valves – abandon wiring altogether, cheapest option that was recommended by Vince
• HOA board and members decided to authorize AC Mechanical to identify if they can fix the problem with a self-contained unit (and not impact other units).  They will visit and provide POV on Monday.
• Paul motioned this, seconded by Corbin, and approved by Gabe.  Anita to let us know on Monday.
• If this can’t be self contained, HOA board will authorize AC mechanical to do a diagnostic of the electric setup of entire building. This will benefit HOA for any future heating/electrical issues (plus help him assess the best way to fix units 101 and 201).
