I recently purchased a home in the Tracy Village community in Freehold. As it is no sane or reasonable person wants to be on the board (who has the time for NO money?) so those that are unqualified and power hungry. Perhaps if board members were paid a small amount there might actually be competition to be on the board-resulting in potential board members having to state their qualifications. I didn't want exterior maintenance and lawn mowing, but this is far worse. If I weren't underwater in my mortgage I'd sell. Yet, somehow complaints about me get through! Fancy that! I've had better experiences with insurance companies and the DMV than with the condo board and property manager. Complaints to my property manager go unanswered.

I can't sit on m balcony or open windows on that side of my unit lest all the smoke enters mine. Apparently, secondhand smoke is not "noxious." I took my feeder down, but I am angry my chain smoking neighbors can sit on the balcony below mine and smoke all day. Same nonsense for me-I put up a birdfeeder and was cited for "noxious activity" while my unit is invaded by second hand smoke from my neighbors. DON'T LET ANY ASSOCIATION WALK ALL OVER YOU. COMMUNITY AFFAIRS, DISTRICT PEOPLE AND SUCH. READ, READ, READ.ALSO, WRITE THE PROSECUTOR OF YOUR COUNTY IF YOU BELIEVE SOMETHING IS NOT WHAT IT SHOULD BE. THEY SHOULD SUPPLY YOU WITH IT, MAYBE FOR A SMALL COST, OR, ASK THE TAX COLLECTOR/ASSESSOR AS THEY SHOULD HAVE A COPY. GO TO TOWN HALL WHERE YOU OWN AND ASK FOR A COPY.
They won't let you know though, what was paid out and for what and who performed the work, and if they were qualified, licensed or what. The association wants more and more and more money. I'm in an upstairs unit, not damaged by the storm, but, found out that plumbing problems which affected the lower units are somehow keeping water from our unit rendering it unusable, while my appliances sit for almost a year in first Cold, now sweltering heat. since Sandy, and don't know when I will be able to. How do we do that? We need to contact each other. I'd say people need to gather together to protect themselves from these greedy low life association leaders. There are so many comments here, but, not much in the way of help for anyone.
