The second half of the Duct and HVAC cleaning and remediation. Cleaning the Air Handler is a critical part of the process.

Donald Brodsky  President at HOF, Flash Air Care – CAC1817554

Let’s not forget the HVAC Tech on the roof. We were on this roof today at 4:30 am so we can have a few good hours of no sun on our backs.

This is the second half of the Duct and HVAC cleaning and remediation. Cleaning the Air Handler is a critical part of the process. Cleaning Ducts without cleaning the machine that moves the air is just a receipe for re-contamination of the entire system.

Just another job at the Boca Raton Mall this week. Grateful for all the Remediation and Restoration companies that trust Flash Air Care to work side by side on their Mold Remediation projects.

Commercial Roof Maintenance in South Florida

by PSI Roofing / Paulo Souza ,Poul Folkersen

Each year, millions of dollars are wasted on unnecessary roof replacement due to lack of ongoing maintenance.  90% of early roof failures are caused by lack of proper roof maintenance.  Small leaks can cause extensive damage to the interior of your building as well as the roof system itself and may not be detected for some time.  Regular maintenance can prevent unforeseen costs and extend the life of your roof by up to 30%.

The best way to extend the life of your roof is to have a roofing company perform regular roof inspections and maintenance.  All roofing manufacturers require regular inspections and maintenance to maintain coverage.  Regular inspections can also prevent costly problems from issues not covered by the manufacturer’s guarantee. Such as damage from vandalism, damage done to the roof by other contractors, or structural deterioration.  PSI Roofing provides roof maintenance in Miami, Fort Lauderdale and surrounding areas. We offer one, three and five year warranties on your new roof to take care of any outstanding problems not covered by the manufacturer.

Achieve A Weed-Free Lake – Check out our tips to learn how to best manage weeds in your lake.

Achieve A Weed-Free Lake – Check out our tips to learn how to best manage weeds in your lake.

Achieve A Weed-Free Lake

The way aquatic weeds are managed depends on your goals. Check out our tips to learn how to best manage weeds in your lake.

Aquatic Weeds? Effective Management Will Depend on Your Unique Ecosystem

Lakes and ponds are home to many unique and beneficial species, but without proper management aquatic weeds and plant life can become a nuisance by destroying native habitat, clogging stormwater pipes, detracting from aesthetics and causing other problems in the ecosystem. Identifying the best management approach can be another challenge. Aquatic weed control is a nuanced problem, and the best management methods are usually influenced by many different variables.

aquatic weed management - pond weed control - Biology - Rake Toss Dense Hydrilla

Which Lake Weed Species Are You Dealing With?

Rather than making one-size-fits-all management recommendations, reputable lake and pond management professionals generally conduct an official aquatic weed survey before designing a customized management program. An onsite evaluation is the most direct, effective way to identify important physical factors within the waterbody, determine potential problem species, and consider the management goals of the property owner or community. Each of these variables is equally important in its own regard and requires a unique custom approach and management plan to effectively address.

Identifying Aquatic Weed Species

To safely eradicate targeted pond weeds, lake managers typically begin by properly identifying the invasive species that are present and taking careful note of their physical characteristics. Proper identification removes the risk of using an ineffective control measure—a mistake that can result in a large loss of time and resources. Plant identification is sometimes a difficult task, requiring dichotomous keys, stereoscopes, and even lab tests. Once the species has been properly identified, we will consider its physical requirements in order to develop a multi-faceted management approach.

Solutions for Managing Aquatic Weed Growth

Sustainable control of a problem species is the primary objective when developing a management plan. Lake management professionals utilize many products and services to eradicate undesirable invasive species. Some ponds can simply be managed through targeted hand pulling or biological control measures such as stocking triploid grass carp. Other situations may call for extensive vegetation and sediment removal through hydro-raking or dredging. More established infestations may require the use of a new “reduced risk” herbicide alternative called ProcellaCOR, which is designed to only impact target species. Working with a professional who understands these options and how to best use them is the most efficient way to ensure the safe, thorough resolution of your aquatic weed issue.

Helping You Reach Your Goals

While environmental balance and safety are of utmost importance, stakeholder goals are also at the forefront of our consideration when designing management programs. Just as no two waterbodies are the same, neither are stakeholder desires. A fishing and duck hunting pond owner will almost certainly have vastly different goals than a homeowners’ association with a five-acre pond within city limits. Each group has its own idea of what a perfect lake looks like. This is where communication becomes the key to reaching our client’s goals. We take the time to ask the right questions and allow the client to explain their vision. We communicate with our clients throughout the restoration process and beyond to ensure the health, beauty, and function of their waterbody continues to exceed their goals.

Achieve the Waterbody You Desire

Water resources with multiple stakeholders present their own challenges. However, our team is experienced in communicating with multiple stakeholders to develop goals and strategies tailored to the interests of the entire group. Programs are designed to correct existing problems, improve the quality of the lake or pond to fit the group’s desires, and provide ongoing education. Community education within these settings is especially important, as each small action by individuals has a cumulative effect on the aquatic system as a whole.

So, ultimately, the management approach we select depends on many different factors. We can solve your pond weed issues, but what are you looking to get out of your lake? Is it a family fishing pond for the grandkids to enjoy, or a lake serving 500 homeowners that enjoy everything from waterskiing to bass fishing? Once the right questions are asked, then we can then recommend an appropriate aquatic weed control plan and begin helping your waterbody reach its full potential.

Community Association Collections 101: What Is a Condition Precedent? by Axela Tech.

Community Association Collections 101: What Is a Condition Precedent? by Axela Tech.

Community Association Collections 101: What Is a Condition Precedent?

Mitch Drimmer

HOA debt collection and community association management are two very highly-regulated industries. Between sweeping federal regulations like the FDCPA, state statutes dictating operational and communication requirements, local city or county rental ordinances, and of course, individual community governing documents, there is a lot of governance in the HOA and condo association world.

This abundance of legislation can make it hard for board members to know what steps they’re allowed to take (and when!) regarding HOA debt collection.

 

HOA Collections: Condition Precedent and Process

When an owner goes delinquent on their HOA dues, the community usually has a security interest and the ability to foreclose and take limited title to a property. Before they exercise the security interest, and even before they can send a unit into collections, there are specific steps that must be taken. These steps are called “Condition Precedent.”

A condition precedent is defined as “a condition or an event that must occur before a right, claim, duty, or interest arises.” In plain English, certain tasks must be completed before an anticipated action can occur (like a collection effort). You can’t take a vacation until you’ve saved up enough money, right? Same concept.

If your management team does not get the condition precedent right, then your HOA or condo association cannot send a file to collections. Period, end of story. So these are very important steps of the collections process.

 

What Condition Precedent is Needed to Send a File to Collection? 

Condition precedent can vary widely depending on what part of the country you are in and what other legal restrictions your community is under. This will mostly depend on where your HOA or condo association is located, but it can also be impacted by what your own governing documents state.

Some states require a host of steps that need to be taken before a community association can move a file to a collection agency. Some of these steps include but are not limited to:

  • The association must send a courtesy letter to a delinquent owner.
    • In some states (Colorado, for example), if the owner speaks any other language besides English, the community association is required to communicate in their language. This can be critical. It must be a good translation from English that would be acceptable in a court if necessary (so Google Translate is probably not good enough).
  • Sending a Notice of Delinquency to the delinquent owner via certified mail, return receipt requested.
    • The notice should advise the owner that they can enter into an 18-month payment plan.
    • This notice must also advise the owner regarding:
      • Unpaid assessments.
      • Unpaid fines for violations.
      • All other charges should be itemized in this notice.
      • And the association needs to advise the owner that a security interest exists, and the community exercises its right to foreclosure.
  • The association must have a Uniform Collection Policy that will review the steps that the association may take to collect the past due assessments.
  • The board must take a vote (in a closed session) before they send a unit into collections.

 

Get Help Navigating HOA Collection Condition Precedent

While this list covers many common condition precedent requirements, every state will vary. If your association misses a step, it could very well mean that you will lose any progress you’ve made and be bumped back to step one. Community association management firms should understand what their communities are expected to do legally before sending a unit into collections.

Axela Technologies has a team of experts who understand all of the condition precedent steps needed and can help educate on this exact matter. Whether you’re a management company looking to help your associations stay on track, or a board of directors seeking out HOA debt collection assistance, Axela can help.

SOME OTHER NEW LAWS CONDOS MUST FOLLOW – PART TWO By Eric Glazer, Esq.

SOME OTHER NEW LAWS CONDOS MUST FOLLOW – PART TWO By Eric Glazer, Esq.

SOME OTHER NEW LAWS CONDOS MUST FOLLOW – PART TWO

By Eric Glazer, Esq.

DISTRIBUTION OF THE INSPECTION REPORTS

Upon completion of a phase one or phase two milestone inspection and receipt of the inspector-prepared summary of the inspection report from the architect or engineer who performed the inspection, the association must distribute a copy of the inspector-prepared summary of the inspection report to each unit owner, regardless of the findings or recommendations in the report, by United States mail or personal delivery and by electronic transmission to unit owners who previously consented to receive notice by electronic transmission; must post a copy of the inspector-prepared summary in a conspicuous place on the condominium property; and must publish the full report and inspector-prepared summary on the association’s website, if the association is required to have a website.

THE DEVELOPER’S TURNOVER REPORT

Notwithstanding when the certificate of occupancy was issued or the height of the building, the developer must provide a milestone inspection report in compliance with s. 553.899 included in the official records, under seal of an architect or engineer authorized to practice in this state, and attesting to required maintenance, condition, useful life, and replacement costs of the following applicable condominium property common elements comprising a turnover inspection report:

  1. Roof.
  2. Structure, including load-bearing walls and primary structural members and primary structural systems as those terms are defined in s. 627.706. 
  3. Fireproofing and fire protection systems.
  4. Elevators.
  5. Heating and cooling systems.
  6. Plumbing.
  7. Electrical systems.
  8. Swimming pool or spa and equipment.
  9. Seawalls.
  10. Pavement and parking areas.
  11. Drainage systems.
  12. Painting.
  13. Irrigation systems.
  14. Waterproofing
  15. A copy of the association’s most recent structural integrity reserve study.

     

POWERS OF THE DIVISION

So let’s say the developer is ignoring all of these new safety laws.  Does the DBPR have any power to do anything about it?

(1) The division may enforce and ensure compliance with this chapter and rules relating to the development, construction, sale, lease, ownership, operation, and management of residential condominium units and complaints related to the procedural completion of milestone inspections under s. 553.899.

However, Once The Developer Has Turned Over…

(2) However, after turnover has occurred, the division has jurisdiction to investigate  complaints related only to financial issues, elections, and the maintenance of and unit owner access to association records under s. 718.111(12), and the procedural completion of structural integrity reserve studies under s. 718.112(2)(g).

So………..if your Board ignores these new safety laws and you want to do something about it…..it’s off to court.

OTHER NEW CONDO LAWS TO KNOW – PART ONE

OTHER NEW CONDO LAWS TO KNOW – PART ONE

  • Posted: Jul 26, 2022

  • Comments: Comments Off on OTHER NEW CONDO LAWS TO KNOW – PART ONE

SOME OTHER NEW LAWS CONDOS MUST FOLLOW – PART ONE

By Eric Glazer, Esq.

We all know by now the myriad of new safety laws condos that are 3 stories or more are required to follow.  They include mandatory fire sprinklers or an engineered life safety system (for buildings 75 feet or higher only), a Phase One Milestone Inspection after 30 years and every ten years thereafter (25 years if the building is on the coast), a likely Phase Two Inspection which will result in required repairs to the structure and of course structural integrity reserve studies performed by an architect or engineer and the mandatory full funding of reserve accounts.

There’s actually more to know.

OFFICIAL RECORDS TO INCLUDE  AND BE POSTED ON THE ASSOCIATION’S WEBSITE:

  1. All audits, reviews, accounting statements,structural  integrity reserve studies, and financial reports of the association or condominium. Structural integrity reserve studies  must be maintained for at least 15 years after the study is completed.

 

A copy of the inspection reports for the milestone inspections and the structural integrity reserve studies  and any other inspection report relating to a structural or life safety inspection of the condominium property. Such record must be maintained by the association for 15 years after receipt of the report.

NO LONGER IS THERE THE ABILITY

TO WAIVE RESERVES OR USE THEM FOR OTHER PURPOSES

 

It was always ridiculously easy to waive the funding of the reserve account.  All it took was a lousy majority of a quorum.  Those days are now over and reserve accounts must be fully funded, like it or not.

The same rule finally applies to developers.  Before turnover of control of an association by a developer to unit owners other than a developer under 718.301, the developer-controlled association developer may not vote the voting interests allocated to its units to waive the reserves or reduce the funding of the reserves.

You can no longer vote to use reserves set aside for one category to be used to repair another category.  Effective December 31, 2024, members of a unit-owner controlled association may not vote to use reserve funds, or any interest accruing thereon, that are reserved for items listed in paragraph (g) for any other purpose other than their intended purpose.

(g) Structural integrity reserve study.

  1. An association must have a structural integrity reserve study completed at least every 10 years after the condominium’s creation for each building on the condominium property that is three stories or higher in height which includes, at a minimum,  a study of the following items as related to the structural integrity and safety of the building:
  2. Roof. 
  3. Load-bearing walls or other primary structural members.
  4. Floor. 
  5. Foundation.
  6. Fireproofing and fire protection systems. 
  7. Plumbing. 
  8. Electrical systems. 
  9. Waterproofing and exterior painting. 
  10. Windows.
  11. Any other item that has a deferred maintenance expense or replacement cost that exceeds $10,000 and the failure to replace or maintain such item negatively affects the items listed in subparagraphs a.-i., as determined by the licensed engineer or architect performing the visual inspection portion of the structural integrity reserve study.
  12. Before a developer turns over control of an association  to unit owners other than the developer, the developer must have a structural integrity reserve study completed for each building on the condominium property that is three stories or higher in height.

 

  1. Associations existing on or before July 1, 2022, which are controlled by unit owners other than the developer, must have a structural integrity reserve study completed by December 31, 2024, for each building on the condominium property that is three stories or higher in height.

BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTY – THIS IS SCARY

 

  1. If an association fails to complete a structural integrity reserve study pursuant to this paragraph,such failure is a breach of an officer’s and director’s fiduciary relationship to the unit owners under s. 718.111(1).  If you’re an officer or director, this new law should scare you to death.  If you fail to do the reserve study, you have automatically breached your fiduciary duty.  This could potentially result in individual liability against a director should the failure to do the reserve study result in collapse or injury.

 

(h) Mandatory milestone inspections.—If an association is required to have a milestone inspection performed pursuant to s. 553.899, the association must arrange for the milestone inspection to be performed and is responsible for ensuring compliance with the requirements of s. 553.899. The association is responsible for all costs associated with the inspection. If the officers or directors of an association willfully and knowingly fail to have a milestone inspection performed pursuant to s. 553.899, such failure is a breach of the officers’ and directors’ fiduciary relationship to the unit owners under s. 718.111(1)(a).  Again, If you’re an officer or director, this new law should scare you to death.  If you fail to do the milestone inspection, you have automatically breached your fiduciary duty.  This could potentially result in individual liability against a director should the failure to do the reserve study result in collapse or injury.

Why A Specialized Collections Company Makes Sense for Your Community Association by Axela

Why A Specialized Collections Company Makes Sense for Your Community Association by Axela

  • Posted: Jul 20, 2022
  • By:
  • Comments: Comments Off on Why A Specialized Collections Company Makes Sense for Your Community Association by Axela

Is a Specialized Collections Company Right for Your Association?

In good times or bad times, community associations (Condos and HOAs) will experience some level of delinquencies that affect the entire association. As a not for profit business your association depends on timely payments every pay period to maintain services to members of the association.  Failure to effectively act on a delinquent account does a disservice to the community and to the delinquent member as well.  By allowing a member to sink deeper and deeper in debt, the association only makes it more difficult for them to remedy their problem.  Engaging a Legal Process (sending the file to your community association attorney) the association may just be incurring additional expenses that eventually will be paid for by the good-paying owners.

 

Often HOA boards of directors are reluctant to migrate delinquencies to collection agencies from their community association attorney. This article looks at the key benefits and concerns regarding collection agencies for community associations, examines the current state of collections, and helps associations understand why a specialized collection agency for community associations offers tremendous opportunity to collect their money at very no cost and no risk.

The Promise of a Specialized Collections Company

Almost every community association looks towards their community association attorney to manage their delinquencies. Yet community association attorneys are not prepared to do the work necessary to effectuate collections (outbound calls, credit reporting, skip tracing, dedicated inbound call center), and the costs are usually beyond what they recover.  Collection agencies have traditionally been performance-based and will collect their fees and costs only upon a successful collection event.  Collection agencies are concerned with only one aspect of business and that is the successful and cost-effective recovery of maintenance fees and other charges that may appear on the ledger (fines & violations, special assessments).

Operational Excellence and Reporting

The most important feature of an enterprise-level collections solution is its ability to communicate with delinquent owners.  Both inbound calls and outbound calls must be managed by highly trained and accredited specialists. When seeking out a collections company for your HOA ask if there is a dedicated portal for delinquent owners to resolve their issues. Boards of Directors and their management companies need to have access to clear and legible reporting.  Payment applications must be handled according to governing documents and state statutes. Strict compliance with Federal and State consumer rules and regulations is imperative.

Cost Savings

Community Association law firms require payment regardless of the outcome of the file. These costs often are beyond the amounts recovered.  Collection Agencies are merit-based and are only paid upon a successful collection effort.  In the specialized field of collections for community associations boards of directors should not, and in some cases, cannot allow any portion of their maintenance fees to be allocated as boards must be faithful to their association’s budget.  Fees and costs of collections should be charged and passed through to delinquent owners, and in the case of an unsuccessful collection effort these fees should not become the burden of the association (including costs for filing a lien)

Concerns Regarding Collection Agencies

It’s easy to see why these key features are the motivators for moving your collections to a specialized collections company and away from a community association attorney.  Yet, many boards of directors are reluctant to change what they have traditionally done in the past, and of course, they will be advised by their own counsel not to remove a collection file from their firms.

FDCPA, TCPA, & FCRA Compliance

Any vendor who performs services for a community association must have the proper insurance to protect the association from liability.  Violations of consumer protection laws should be a great concern.

  • Know and be in compliant with Federal and State Regulations.
  • Report delinquencies to credit bureaus in compliance with the FCRA.
  • Ensure all telephone calls are following TCPA regulations.

A community association must perform their due diligence and be sure that their collection agency is not only bonded but properly insured.  Associations should also be concerned that the customer service representatives of the collection agency are professionally trained and have designations from collection industry trade organizations such as ACA (The Association of Credit and Collection Professionals).

Statutes & Governing Documents (CC&Rs)

Of significant concern to community associations should be a collection agency’s adherence to governing documents and state statutes that relate to condos and HOAs.  Payment application, timelines, statutory compliance to the lien process, and notification are of paramount concern to community associations, especially regarding collections.  Zero defect execution of the collections process must be the standard practice. Collection agencies need to:

  • Perform flawless underwriting of each ledger.
  • Verify property ownership.
  • Impeccably review governing documents and by-laws and understand the state statutes where they are doing collections.

Conclusion

With increased scrutiny of the collection industry, it is more important than ever for community associations to engage the right company with the most sophisticated technology that can support their missions.  They should:

  • Compare and document standards, guarantees, and performance levels to ensure that prospective collection agencies are truly best-in-class solution providers.
  • Ask for collection agency references and connect with these references to get a true feel for the providers’ service, product and

It is also imperative that community associations increase efficiency, transparency, and reporting to members of the community.  Collection Agencies that specialize in working with community associations are the best way to go.  The right collection agency just makes sense for communities – Do not allow delinquencies to erode your community.
