The Roofs Are Shot-Open the Roofs and Open

Pandora's Box! Lets Go Highline Meadows

The reason the inspector did not allow one of the 3rd floor Highline Meadow Condos to pass the roof inspection is because the roof is shot and sinking with no water run off down the skipper.

The facts are that the roofs here at Highline Meadows need to be replaced or restored very soon before something bads happens like a roof collapsing and someone getting hurt.

The water has been leaking into our homes for years now without the Board of Directors having any Fund in place for Restoration or Replacement. Now they want you to pay something like 3-4 Million dollars for there oversight in this critical issue.

The Board of Directors has failed us and should step down for there incompetence.

It is obvious that they are more concerned with Garbage Dumpsters, Landscaping, Pool Preparation, painting the interiors of condos then the most important task such as Roofs and Painting the Exteriors.

The roof leaking issue has come full circle around making our dues increase due to roofs leaking and causing building damage and then the fact that 80K was spent in just patching the roofs last year.

We could have restored almost every Condo Roof during the last two years with the money they have wasted on Roof Repairs. That's 10 Condo roofs!

The folks living in Building 130 got an estimate of 14K for a roof restoration which carries a 10 year guarantee. The low structure damaged spots are lifted to allow runoff to the skippers with a layer of urethane and then the rest of the roof is protected with several layers.

The Maintenance company TMMC want to have the whole roof replaced which sound good until you weight the facts.

Facts:

The roofs have low spots which do not drain off and have been leaking into the structure for many years now. These low spots have gotten worst. We cannot wait another year since the damage has already been done.

If the Roofs are opened in sections by a roofing company with proper permitting, theinspector will most likely see the following;

MOLD-From water

WATER DAMAGE TO STRUCTURE-Twisted or defective support beams

DAMAGE TO INSULATION AND CEILING

What is going to happen at this point? We also have Asbestos in the ceiling insulation which has been analyzed at 7%.

ASBESTOS-Requires Certification and training for removal

So what is going to happen?

Again your post is misleading and full of half truths.  They want to replace the roofs and add pitch to them so that the water does run off and they are not flat like they are right now.  You are also wrong about the cost, it was reported in one of the recent board meetings that the cost would be around 1 million to REPLACE the roofs on all buildings except 190. 

Why are you filing a lawsuit on the BBQ's?  State fire codes require that there cannot be BBQ's on balcony's.  Why are you wasting more of the Associations money making them defend against fire codes? 

As always, I await your degrading and insulting response.
