[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only thing that matters is what the HOA rules are. If you see someone breaking the rules, bring it to the attention of the HOA board for them to deal with it as a civil matter. Calling the cops because there were too many children eating hamburgers in a park is ridiculous. As is the wasting of tax dollars for 3 cops to sand around watching people eating hamburgers in a park.

Deal with it on the next business day or at least have a copy of the actual rules with you so you don't waste everyone's time if you want to deal with it.[/quote]

You keep saying "park."  It wasn't a park.  It was private property of the condo association.  [/quote]

It is all the same. It is private outdoor space. If someone is using private park space in a way you don't think they should - you need to have the actual rules handy - not a general sense of being wronged but you aren't sure if you are or not. Lots of condos allow guests. Many condos also allow owners to have parties on the premises. If you know for sure yours does not then call bylaw - not the police. It isn't a crime that your neighbors brought 5 friends instead of 4. And take it up with the HOA.

Stop calling the cops. It wastes their time and it is pointless.[/quote]

So if this takes place on a weekend, and the person contacts their HOA that someone had 30 people at the condo pool...what exactly can the condo do after the fact on Monday morning?   Nothing.

In the meantime, the condo owner who pays their fees each month has to deal with not being able to use the pool they pay for because someone else is being a terrible person and  breaking the rules (excuse me--"going about their daily life", as certain people do, according to a pp.)[/quote]

Using the police to manage HOA rules is ridiculous. Someone has an extra plant on their balcony or paints their door and you call the police? If it is an HOA issue, tell the HOA, they will have a way of fining / punishing people who don't follow the HOA rules. Don't use the police to manage things that aren't a crime or safety issue.[/quote]

How is having a crowd of 30 strangers (friends of friends in this case?) with 10-15 in a private pool area not a safety issue?? I am not a lawyer, but what would happen if one of the kids drowned or jumped in the pool and hurt themselves? I expect the condo association would be sued...[/quote]
