I am the VP of our HOA. All but one of the previous board members resigned in Dec. So as a newly elected member to the board we were left with cleaning up the mess left behind. There were practically no enforcements of our By-Laws and allot of homeowners ran wild. Fences, doors, sheds, high grass and weeds, boats and trailers. We started sending out notices and caught allot of heat for not being more personal.
Then when we attempted to be more personal and talk to a homeowner we get threatened and even assaulted. Seems like a no win situation. The homeowner has a boat and I went there to talk to him. The conversation started fine but quickly turned when he said he was not going to do anything until he received an official notice. I had it with me and he refused to accept it and I was physically shoved off of his driveway and even once while on the sidewalk.
I held my tongue and anger and attempted to explain to him the situation but I had no results. First isn't the letter I tried to serve to him a legal notice? Second we are considering revoking his voting rights and banning him from meetings for 1 year. Just wondering if anyone else has had this type of difficulty with a homeowner?
