Condominiums and HOAs unit owners often complain that their Association doesn’t do enough or that the Board Members are overreaching their powers.
On the other hand, being a Board member is often an exhausting and unappreciated volunteer position that requires a lot of work and carries many responsibilities.
Board members can be liable to their building community on many levels, including not following the governing documents (Declarations, By-Laws, and Rules & Regulations), selective enforcement, mismanagement of funds, intruding on the privacy of individual residents, etc.
Understanding the boundaries and limitations of the Association is something that every board member needs to realize and comply with.
