[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It feels like a scam , the fees never add up to the real maintenance cost it's always way over[/quote] Who would be perpetrating this scam? [b]Where do you think the dollars are going?[/b] Every penny is accounted for in annual budget statements and reports to the owners, and a board of owners (that could include you if you volunteered) is running things. If the board doesn’t like the management company they have hired to implement things like distribution of parking passes, they can switch to a different company.[/quote] They are often going to useless projects or unnecessary or counterproductive repairs. It's not literally a scam. However, those fees are often exorbitant, they can be several thousand dollars each month. [/quote] Owners get the budgets to review before they are approved. Speak up if think there are useless projects. The equipment in buildings is much harder to maintain than in the past and parts are more expensive. [/quote]
