Dear Condofax: Though we are a fairly large condoâ€" minium and have been established for years, we have a doâ€"nothing board of directors who seem to be deaf to anything that the unit owners complain about. The management company is useless, and it appears to some of us that this condo is rapidly going downhill. What can we do about getting some action before we find ourselves facing serious repair and mainâ€" tenance problems? Residents living in dire straits Dear Teed Off: Ogden Nash, in his Verses from 1929, quoted, "One bliss for which/ There is no match/ Is when you itch/ To up and scratch". But when one finds oneself in an unscratchable position, such as being in a condo run by a board of directors who are out of touch with the concerns of the unit owners and blind to the deterioâ€" rating condition of the building, then the urge to scratch can become overwhelmâ€" ing M.

It isn‘t easy, for it requires the cooperation of enough unit owners who are disillusioned with the present state of affairs and are prepared to work together to elect a slate of officers at the next annual general meeting. Hopefully, these new board members will be amenable to the desires of the unit owners and will endeavor to correct the conditions that are the cause of the irritation. However, if the itch is so unbearable and the wish to be soothed is all powerful â€" keeping you awake at night and thrashâ€" ing around under your bed covers â€" then there is a means provided in the Condominium Act which will enable you to obtain that longed for blessed release without having to wait for the next AGM. Since, according to Section 15.â€"(8), "if 51% of the owners agree to remove a director (or directors), then they can vote them out of office at a special meeting called for that purpose." To do this requires the calling of a special meeting. NICK BELLISARIO* 338â€"2201 842â€"5094 This can PAGER AWARDS FOR FEBRUARY be done by the uni NICK BELLISARIO* TOP PRODUCER LOCATION! LOCATION!
