MANAGERS MESSAGE

Bill Stefanowitz

We have issues that really need to be addressed by all owners and tenants. Two more units are being offered for sale, adding to the ten already on themarket. I know others who would like to sell if they could. At present, only about 35 of the 102 units are being used as permanent residences. This is not a good situation! More resident owners are needed who will take an active interest in restoring community values and spirit. At one time, there was voluntary compliance with our rules and regulations, but now, total disregard seems to be the norm. We can repair the physical aspects of the property but, somehow, we need to fix the other problems and deficiencies within the community.

People allow their pets to urinate on the column in the lobby, they don't pick up after their pets when they relieve themselves on our ground. They spit in the elevator, and they let anyone and everyone use their units and our amenities. Owners and tenants don't respond to requests for information, and several don't even pay their monthly assessments timely, showing little or no regard for fellow owners. Parents don't supervise their children. Owners who rent don't submit leases for association's approval and it is almost impossible to get people to get rehabs pre-approved or get approval times for move ins and outs.

The point is that if things don't change, Pelican Point is on a downhill slide and will become a second-rate hotel/motel type community. A new coat of paint will not change these continually deteriorating situations.
