Management 4 HOAS - Cotati

You have to have approvals for everything where I live to do anything to the outside of your unit, which I can understand. They painted my section my lavender, we didn’t like it and we complained and they came back and painted it grey which I don’t like either but at least it is not purple which was really unbelievable that they would do. They did give us a couple of samples but it was in the middle of the winter and it was eight o clock at the night in a room that was lit with in-conducive lighting and it was a small piece of siding that was painted for a sample. I looked at it and it did not looked purple to me then but the considering the lighting and the size of the sample I couldn’t believe that what I had seen came out looking like what went up from the side of the building. They remedied that because everyone that lives in this section got together and complained and we went to the homeowner association meeting and we made a lot of fuss and they repainted it. That was a good thing but my problem is that we employ these people, this management company to work for us and they will not ever get back to me and I said that in the homeowner association meeting and I just got a blank stare back for an answer. Recently I called them twice and left messages on their voice mail and they never got back to that either. I just feel totally powerless, I live here, and I don’t want them making changes that I don’t approve of. They already made several changes I did not want them to do like ripping out trees right around me unit, which was not a good thing. I have a question about putting u a certain kind of screen door on my sliding glass doors so that I can leave them open after dark and still feel secure but I can’t get them to get back to me. I spoke to Brenda Dugan and she never returns my phone calls, in fact sometime when I said something about it she laughed at my face. I even said in front of the board that we pay their salaries so they are responsible, and please return our phone calls. I haven’t spoken to anyone else in her office because she is only one that has any say about anything in that office. They are a big company that manages a lot of big condominium sin the area apparently so she is a very busy woman I am sure but she is obligated to return my calls or at least be courteous to me in public. They had said things to me that I knew were not true, there was a whole thing with the alarm system, they were sending the fire alarm people into our attic, and for a whole noon, I had these people tramping through my house with ladders to address problems with the wiring. Whenever they have anything to do with the wiring, they come to my yard, which I kept lock because of my dog and the guy that was tramping into my yard was really nice and very courteous. One night the alarm went on from one in night to eight in the morning and nobody slept in the building that night, it was a false alarm.
