On May 30th a 5 page letter went out and much of it had to do with association fines against Owners. This can be a complex issue and Owners may wish to do some research on the topic, plus of course, consulting our own documents on the topic (ie: Declaration of Condominium at p. 37 "Fines" http://tinyurl.com/7mkbshl and By-Laws at 5.(m)).
Generally outside courts will not interfere with such condo fining if the Owner has had benefit of 'due process' (something else for you to look up!).

Below is a small extract from the site which has additional information you might want to consult or bookmark in case you need it later: http://tinyurl.com/786h3h4
"If the board indeed has the power to impose fines, it must establish a separate (fining) committee.
The committee must consist of at least 3 owners who are not board members, not related to board members and do not live in the same household as a board member. Then, before any fine may be imposed, the Board must provide the offending owner with reasonable advance notice (i.e. 14 days) of the date, time and location for the owner to appear before the fining committee.
The offending owner must be given the opportunity to explain to the committee why a fine should not be levied. If the fining committee determines not to impose a fine, no fine may be imposed. The Board cannot overrule the fining committee and levy a fine where the committee votes not to impose a fine.
Even if the committee votes to fine an offending owner, the fine cannot exceed $100.00 per day for a continuing violation and no fine in a condominium may exceed $1,000.00 for any single violation."
This site was set up in May 2007 and it has 300 posts. See 170 photos at: http://nautiluscondo.blogspot.com The 'search' bar at the top left of the site works quite well. If you want info on topic or a unit just put the term or number (ie: 708, 1401 etc) into the box and hit search and all the threads about the topic or unit will appear. I am a 'former owner' of 708, sold my unit back to the developer for a 65K loss and I was glad to be out of there. Contact: harris2018@aol.com
