Based on this new letter that was sent out I have a few concerns that have not been properly addressed since I have bought my property and moved in. Yes I will admit I an not 100% up to date on my HOA dues because there are issues stated in the covenant that have not been addressed and have been reported numerous times, so lets begin.....
#1 parking: while yes it has been stated to contact Pickens County, as we have done. Their response has been simply that this is private property, governed by an HoA and they CAN NOT enforce the no parking signs, as it is up to the HoA to handle this.
#2 The Pool: In the 4+ years my family and I have lived here we have NEVER received a key or a new code. When we asked for a key we were told we would receive one......... and now there is a code that we have not been given. On the ONE occasion my family went to use the pool, when my wife asked for someone to let her and my children in, she was told she was not allowed as it is for property owners only. When she stated she was a property owner, she was called a liar and told that if she was, she would have a key and people wearing slutty bathing suits like she was probably wearing were not welcome. Now for the record my wife still was wearing shorts and a T-shirt, I know because I was still sitting in my car and over heard the conversation. So I addressed a former member of HoA board, reported the incident, still never received a key and have since NEVER used the pool or have a desire to. HOWEVER when the pool was closed due to a broken phone, a member of the board came to MY house, and asked ME to go fix it, which I did, but my family is not welcome........
#3 HoA dues: Why is it when I go to try to pay my dues at the local UPS office where I have been directed to pay them, I am being told that I can NOT pay it there? Oh yeah, because the address listed is incorrect and UPS will not accept the payment, so I double checked the address on 3 news letters I have received... all of them the same, and incorrect, might wanna fix that. The "suite" address is incorrect and the box address is incorrect also.
#4 Behavior: Seriously anyone remember a little while back when we had people out in the main drive in the middle of the night? I do, because I had to leave my home which is near the back of the development and go find out what was going on. Seems a teenage girl felt the need to have close to 30 people in her yard and was fighting a few of them, Then went and got a gun and started SHOOTING WILDLY. The shierriff's office was called, a report was filed. Nothing happened.
#5 Loitering: Lets face it, we all know who the drug dealers in this development are, we see them everyday, and we see them sit in the pool parking area and smoke out, and yet no one does anything about it. This disregard for behavior is probably why there have been reports of Home Invasions and Vandalism.
I could continue this but I an bored already and realize this will either be erased or ignored. I am NOT "more than 2 yrs behind" on my dues and am in no risk of having a lien put on my property, but I am hence forth stating I have publicly listed my concerns for the FAILURE this HoA has ALLOWED to exist. Correct your payment address and my next payment will be there, But before you come at me making assumptions, please make sure you are keeping your end of the covenant as well because if you are not keeping your end, then by fact I am NOT obligated to keep mine. I am not trying to be "that guy", I am just being upfront.
