Something has to be done immediately! Our maintenance fee is so high, and our complex looks terrible, dirty, and unmaintained. With a more organized approach to all projects, I think that the Operating Expenses of this property can be slashed by at least 20%. Most of the projects are started and not finished properly, any work that I have seen done to our property is unorganized, unscheduled and very poorly done. These are some of the most important issues that the Board of Directors never did: 1. 90% of the time the owners of YCC244 are not informed about the major projects planned to be done for YCC244, WHY? 2. Painting the walls – Why the owner never been informed? WHY was painted first draft and not clean the mess left behind - dirty hallways must remain until the project ends? 3. Why we were not informed that the hitters will be changed and when??? In 20 Moonstone, the hitters were changed only at the second floor - why we are not informed when the hitters will change in all units? 4. Grass carpet put on one side of 15 and 25 Pebble Byway - owner never been informed - projects done chaotic – WHY the carpet grass was not done for the entire the complex? 5. Is true that projects, which cost less than a certain amount of money, can be put into action without the approval of the Board of Directors? Is this the reason – why the project are done partial and in small portions? In addition, the entire complex is a mess – very dirty and not properly maintained The garbage bins are kept in plain sight at the front of 20 Moonstone Byway, which makes the property look dirty and uninviting, everyone can smell the garbage as soon as you walk up the stairs! At night, you can see rats running across the driveway between the buildings! The walls around the elevator in the garage as well as the garbage deposit rooms are painted a terrible green and pink colour! The garage always has a terrible smell to it and people keep all kinds of furniture, tires, boxes, etc. in their parking spots. This should be prohibited and enforced. Although the grass is cut by the property management, weeds are never taken out As soon as you walk or drive into 10 and 20 Moonstone Byway you can see everyone's patios full of garbage, benches, old tables, weeds, etc. and you can see inside of every unit! This is very unsafe. If the ever – green trees will be plated all around the complex - in front and in the back of all units - these would improve a lot the aspect of YCC244 and every owner can enjoy their privacy. |

It took you a long time to notice the colors it was done ages ago. Fees slashed 20%!!!you should be running for the board. Garbage bins must go out on specific days monday and thursday household garbage...tues. and fridays recyclable garbage. As you must have noticed the trucks that pick up the garbage will not fit in the garage. Garbage must be brought to a central location to be picked up.. Is it carpet grass or real grass...if it's carpet we have a problem it's dying... HEATERS>>>May be it costs to much to do the whole complex at one time. You are right there is a REAL lack of communication from Management . But the halls must be done before the AGM so it looks good for them. Maybe???
ReplyDeletePlease you make some very good points but get your facts straight about certain things. If you can see in there unit on Moonstone you can see into everyones place if you walk around the complex.. Also if you walk through some streets around our area you can see in some houses...That is what blinds and curtains are for. Sure Management is EXTREMLY LAX in telling us what is going on and if you ask usually you get a very abrubt answer This something the board should deal with.
ReplyDeleteDon't Vote for Catherine
ReplyDeleteHer current board is asking for a 28% rate increase!
Please find a new subject ...If there is a god she or her people will not be there ...talk to people not that many read this
ReplyDeleteYou're right not enough people read this if you don't talk to your neighbours about these things you may take a giant step backward and we can't afford that. Those who don't vote or participate shouldn't complain if we go backwards.
ReplyDeleteB Building
I will be at the meeting, bitching about how messed up this board is, how they rape me of my money and ask for more
ReplyDeleteQuestions to Catherine and Dan Hu at our AGM
ReplyDeleteThis is the Condo Act Section--- 32
Conduct of business
32. (1) Subject to subsection 42 (5), the board of a corporation shall not transact any business of the corporation except at a meeting of directors at which a quorum of the board is present. 1998, c. 19, s. 32 (1).
Quorum
(2) A quorum for the transaction of business is a majority of the members of the board. 1998, c. 19, s. 32 (2).
For our YCC244 the board member of 5 ,the majority must be 3+. That means any transactions done by only 2 board members is illegal. Even if there were 3 Board members if the 3 rd one was appointed by the left 2 Board members.
So we must ask Catherine and Dan Hu and verify :
1. How many Board members were there on the Board when you signed the contract with the contractor NAN BEI for the swimming pool?
2. How many Board members were there on the Board when you signed the contract with NAN BEI for the stucco project of Building A & B?
3. Why did you sign such big projects with the same contractor NAN BEI and let NAN BEI to sub-contract the stucco project some one else?
4. Was it worth $100,000+ to do the swimming pool? Was it worth using out our Reserve Fund before you step down to do the stucco?
5. Did you guys get money from NAN BEI and other of your contractors, if yes how much? How much per unit owner?
6. Do you want to continue doing crazy things like that by running the Board again?
He probably lives in the same building and is trying to silence the blogers.
