Loring Green East (LGE) Condo Association Disputes

I have lived in my condo in Loring Green East for over 30-years. It is a Homeowner’s Association with a board of directors and published guidelines. After I removed some sliding doors separating my living room from a small room between the LR and outside windows, I was informed it was ‘remodeling without permission.’

This is true, and while I was unaware that was the case, I apologized in writing to the board and initiated actions to rectify the issues.

The association board has responded multiple times, starting with a forced inspection, an outside engineering firm review, multiple attorney letters, and other actions. Each has a cost associated with it which I am required to pay and have paid.

The forced inspection was allowable under the guidelines. False statements made (recorded) during the inspection remain unacknowledged or corrected: building engineer stating the sliding doors constituted a structural supporting ‘wall,’ supports would need to put back in where the windows and patio like doors were removed, all which is and was false. A claim that my actions caused cracking in a unit around 100 yards away, separated by multiple units, elevator shafts, etc., stated as a ludicrous claim and laughed at by the owner of that unit. This was just the beginning.
