What if Hitler invented the BMW i3 Subcompact Electric car?
One of my neighbors put a wreath on her door outside of the designated holiday wreath allowance policy. It was really ugly, it had purple butterflies on it and her unit was in the ground floor elevator lobby so we had to see it all the time. Thankfully the HOA made her take it down and she complied so things are ok now.

Oh and some public official's girlfriend said he tried to throw her off the 18th floor balcony but it turned out she was a cray cray bitch but we had the media filming our entrance and trying to stalk him and literal coming into the building and harassing the concierge and doormen and valets for gossip, that was kind of lovely.

hahaha, and you loving claim HOAs aren't poo poo?

jesus christ man what's wrong with you

Dude I thought the policy was clear:

quote:

Hallways
As a reminder, our new classic contemporary hallways were designed to be exclusive of individual decorations at unit doors. It is extremely important that the hallways remain true to the design plan and uniform in appearance. Other than seasonal door wreaths, installed in a manner that does not affect or damage the door in any way, no additional or individual decoration, including plants and statues will be permitted.

Any decorative items that have been placed either on or under package shelves should be removed immediately. Residents who have questions concerning this requirement may contact the management office or a member of the Board.

But apparently not:

Update posted:

Door Décor
Real Estate and marketing professionals advise that clean, uniform residential hallways enhance the esthetic interior design of the building and help maintain property value. Acting on the comments and advice, the Board of Directors clarified the building seasonal wreath policy at the August Board meeting. The policy permits the use of seasonal door wreaths from one week before Thanksgiving until January 6 of the next year. Wreaths will not be permitted on doors at any other time throughout the year. All door wreaths currently in use must be removed at this time. We appreciate your cooperation with this policy.

The HOA also does very importing things like managing the building carts:

quote:

Carts
Hard as it may be to believe, the building owns 15 utility carts. The mystery is – where are they hiding? More important, the challenge is – how can we get them back to the loading dock and available for resident use?

This has become a serious matter. Far too often, one of us arrives at the loading area with a car full of packages, only to find not a single cart with which to get things upstairs. At this writing, only three of our 15 carts are in circulation.

Buying additional carts or finding a way to track carts is always an option, but an expensive one for us all. Another solution is to eliminate carts and ask each homeowner to purchase their own personal cart, an unattractive solution.

BEFORE WE TAKE ANY OF THESE UNUSUAL AND EXPENSIVE STEPS, WE URGE ALL RESIDENTS, ONE LAST TIME, TO PLEASE RETURN ALL CARTS TO THE GARAGE LOADING AREA OR CALL THE FRONT DESK TO HAVE CARTS RETRIEVED.

One additional note: We are currently fitting the carts with cushioning bumpers to help protect our new wood paneling in the service elevator and hallways. In order to complete this refitting, we need ALL carts available at the loading area by Saturday morning, October 18. And, please remember to use carts carefully and avoid contact with walls or wood paneling!

quote:

Carts
Thanks to residents who returned two additional utility carts to the loading zone in the garage this week. We have now located a total of 5 carts but we are still missing 10 of the 15 carts. If you currently have a cart in your residence please return it to the lower level or call the front desk for retrieval.

The carts cost approximately $200 each. With taxes and shipping, replacement of ten carts may cost the Council of Co-Owners in excess of $2,000 in unbudgeted expenses.

This may not seem like an excessively large expenditure. However, any over budget expenditure in a tight budget makes a difference. The board is diligently trying to minimize and control building operating costs.

Residents who know the location of any of the missing carts should advise the management office or see that they are immediately returned to the loading area to help us avoid an unnecessary and unbudgeted expense.

quote:

Carts

Thanks to residents who recently returned carts to the loading area in the garage. As of this week, we have located seven carts. Please note that the carts have been fitted with protective bumper pads around the top to help prevent damage to wall covering and wood paneling in the hallways and service elevator. All residents are urged to take extra care to protect our new hallways and elevators.

quote:

Carts

Recently we have begun receiving complaints that carts are not available at the loading area in the garage. In order to have carts readily available when needed, residents must return carts to the loading area in the garage immediately after each use or call the front desk and have a valet return the cart.

quote:

Carts

Please return carts to the service elevator or call for cart pick up after each use. To protect the interior of the passenger elevators, please DO NOT use or place carts in the passenger elevators!
