Who governs the board of directors and the property management company of condo complexes?

My son’s car was broken into while parked in our carport. The only way to access the carport is by a key. When we approached two board members, they would not help us obtain the security tape. My son was then told that there is no tape, but images from the internet and that the person who has access was not home. They would not tell my son anything other than his name. This isn’t the first encounter with this board or the management company. We had a neighbor who kept us up all night. The board would not get involved, although the CC&R’s have a noise clause. When I requested a copy of the clause, I was ignored. I was told to call the police and keep calling them. I would like to file a complaint but don’t know who or where. We live in Southern California.

    That seems to be a problem with many Boards here in CA. Check with your title company for a copy of your CC&R’s they have to have them on file before escrow can close.
    The Board governs themselves. Best bet vote them out come annual election time. As a homeowner you can see and should have access to any and all info about the building. It is your investment.
    I don’t know who your management company is but call the DRE and set a fire under them. Audits are a pain. Find out if they can be replaced and replace them with a different company.
    Len Siegel is a great HOA attorney, might not be a bad idea to chat with him.
    If you need his contact info please call my office 818.837.0737 ask for Loli.
