The burned deck boards on 103 were repaired on Thursday. Ed, who has been working at the Villas, worked on them for most of the morning. He had a hard time getting the old boards out. When Rob rebuilt the decks he secured them pretty well. The question here is, who pays for this repair? This unit is exclusively rentals and some renters had a barbecue on the deck. Is this an HOA responsibility to fix the problem or is it the responsibility of the company who rented the unit? There are four rental management companies who rent condos at Phase I. To what extent is the HOA responsible for damages caused by rental activity? We used to have a policy on this. Later Thursday afternoon, I saw Wilson Communications doing a telephone repair in the 400 building. The worker told me there was a loose wire at the pedestal. J.R. told me he did not call for the repair. If the company that manages the rental units in the 400 building called in the repair instead of calling AT&T, that company should be responsible for the repair cost. No rental management company should obligate the Phase I HOA. That all should come through the property manager. I'll have to watch for that bill.
The tennis court lights work well now. One switch does it all. J.R. said the total cost was just over $300.
The lift station continues to be a problem. J.R. said it has not been serviced regularly and the circuit panel needs a lot of repair. We are working on only one pump right now. He will have to pull out the pumps with chains and do some maintenance and repair next week.
