Re: Adams|Sterling Newsletter - "Harassment in Associations."  Entire newsletter sent to me is included in this email.

Harassment in Associations

"New Law. Effective October 14, 2016, boards of directors are required to address members' claims of harassment on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, familial status, and disability. This includes harassment by other residents, board members, managers, and vendors. The law requires that boards take prompt steps to investigate and end harassment. (Code of Fed. Reg. §100.7(a)(1)(iii).)

Harassment. To determine if harassment is taking place, boards can evaluate the nature of the unwelcome conduct, the context in which the incidents occur, the severity, scope, frequency, duration, and location of the conduct, and the relationships of the people involved. It does not require that the complaining party suffer psychological or physical harm, only that the alleged harassment occurred.

HUD Complaints. There may be legitimate circumstances where boards can intervene but there will also be unwarranted claims from hyper-sensitive individuals as well as false claims from vexatious individuals.

For example, a board member gives an owner a dirty look or tells them to be quiet while the board conducts its meeting. (In one of our associations the person claimed racial discrimination.) Or an owner is fined for violating the rules. (The person filed a claim of racial discrimination with the Department of Fair Employment and Housing.) Or two residents don't like each other and one seeks to harm the other by filing a claim. (Former boyfriend and girlfriend who lived in adjoining units had a falling out and claimed hostile environment.)

When harassment is alleged, boards must investigate. If the board determines a complaint is unfounded, unhappy parties can run to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and complain against the board. Under new federal regulations, HUD will have authority to investigate the board.

Burden. Because there is no cost to claimants for filing such claims, some residents will use this as a tool to harass their associations. These claims will create an expensive administrative burden on HOAs since legal counsel will be tasked with responding to the complaints. This intrusion by the federal government into the affairs of homeowners associations is unprecedented.

The burden the new regulations create will likely outweigh any intended benefits regulators had in mind. Associations are not cities with paid city council members, police forces, and governmental immunities. They are nonprofits run by volunteers with no expertise and few resources for dealing with harassment (whether real or imagined). Civil remedies already exist. Making boards an arm of the federal government is going to make it harder to recruit and keep volunteers on boards.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Boards should work with legal counsel to adopt anti-harassment rules for their associations. The policies need to cover the reporting and investigation of alleged harassment. The policies need to include procedures for adopting findings and taking appropriate actions."

My response:

Yes, _____, but this is interesting.   I do not believe it is accurate though, because HUD will not investigate, no matter how bad the abuse, harassment, terrorizing, threats, death threats, legal and judicial harassment and criminality and more unless one has a HUD backed mortgage. So one is discriminated against, CC&TR's violated daily and esp., by board members, refuse to have grievance committee hearings because "they don't have one are not putting one together for you (me)" and although, CC&Rs, by laws, call for one and hearings for HOA homeowners being abused and victimized, so one gets no help, nothing but abuse, property damages, horrible harassment and ongoing harassment, fraudulent and fabricated lawsuits because they are a responsible, accountable, honest and bill paying homeowner?  I was at HUD 3, or maybe 4 times pleading for help and they would do nothing because I did not have a HUD backed mortgage.  In some cases, the HOA board members involved, attorneys involved, other HOA owners, or their tenants involved and any others in their syndicates involved, and especially in Monroe County, Pennsylvania should be in jail over the HOA criminality and fraudulent property thefts, I believe!

  California's Leader in Community Association Law April 16, 2017
HARASSMENT
IN ASSOCIATIONS
Last year, federal regulations were changed to address harassment and discrimination claims. The changes affect community associations. Even though associations are not housing providers, they are deemed so for the purposes of this statute.

New Law. Effective October 14, 2016, boards of directors are required to address members' claims of harassment on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, familial status, and disability. This includes harassment by other residents, board members, managers, and vendors. The law requires that boards take prompt steps to investigate and end harassment. (Code of Fed. Reg. §100.7(a)(1)(iii).)

Harassment. To determine if harassment is taking place, boards can evaluate the nature of the unwelcome conduct, the context in which the incidents occur, the severity, scope, frequency, duration, and location of the conduct, and the relationships of the people involved. It does not require that the complaining party suffer psychological or physical harm, only that the alleged harassment occurred.

HUD Complaints. There may be legitimate circumstances where boards can intervene but there will also be unwarranted claims from hyper-sensitive individuals as well as false claims from vexatious individuals.

Thank you to my partner Jasmine Hale for the background information on the new regulations.

TRANSIENTS, TRASH
AND TROUBLE

I will join attorney Brian Moreno (Swedelson Gottlieb) to speak on the growing problem of short-term vacation rentals (STRs) in HOAs and what managers and boards can do to address the problem. We will cover:
• Pressure on boards to allow STRs
• Problems & legal risks
• How to restrict STRs
• Enforcement mechanisms
When & Where. The lunch seminar for boards and managers will be held this Wednesday, April 19 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles.

Legislation. It seems unlikely I am the only Davis-Stirling fan who has left California but still have many friends there. Could you create a list by state of legislation directly impacting HOA homeowners? -Mel S.

RESPONSE: Every state has its own HOA legislation (as does Canada). The Community Associations Network has a list of the laws.
 
*****

Hackers #1. The hacking episode must have been highly stressful. Your upgrade lingo is so far over my head that I feel like you have been initiated into a secret cult. -Larry S.

Hackers #2. Oh my goodness. You’re a victim of your own popularity and relevance, Adrian! What a pity that today we’re all potential victims. -Marilyn B.

Hackers #3. I am horrified that you had to defend your website against a foreign country’s hacking. I truly appreciate the dedication and tremendous resources you dedicated to keep your website up and running and even better. Your efforts are greatly appreciated. Thanks so much. -Lisa E.

RESPONSE: Thank goodness the hackers weren't Russian. They could have derailed my presidential plans.
 
*****

Vexatious #1. Perhaps HOAs can do more in advance to steer vexatious persons away from becoming members. It might help to promulgate the message forthrightly (on websites, flyers, etc.) that “if you don’t like being subject to lots of rules, then you won’t be happy owning a condominium (and neither will your neighbors).” Would it be legal to pass a rule requiring that each HOA member include such a statement as part of the MLS listing when they put their unit up for sale? -David S.

RESPONSE: I like your idea. People who hate rules (or lack a sense of humor) should not live in associations. You could pass your rule but I don't know that anyone would comply.

Vexatious #2. Ten days ago we dealt with a malicious homeowner. She was taken kicking and screaming into a 72-hour psychiatric hold. The process involved the police and others. She's still at the rehab facility. -Michael O.
Vexatious #3. About the angry malicious homeowner creating legal expenses for the HOA, doesn’t the Davis-Stirling law provide that if the homeowner looses in court, the HOA can recover legal fees? -Arthur R.

RESPONSE: Yes, it gives the court discretion to award legal fees. In our most recent case, we received a large award for the association. It should stop our vexatious stream of lawsuits. She will likely move to another association and restart her criminal enterprise.

Vexatious #4. Your newsletter has been positively inspirational to me on more than one occasion. I had some recommended passengers for the move to Barrow, but as it didn't work out and they are still here. At least for the time being they are much less "influential" due to a recent board election. Certainly, the pen is mightier than the sword, the disruptive persons exposed their own bullying tactics and unstable mentality as they posted to "Nextdoor." The recent election put them out to pasture. The ability to have good communication is absolutely vital to all homeowners' associations! -Elaine J.

To all who are responding on this new HUD Law Re: HOAs, please see:

Better explanation and information on this new law.  Thanks to SK for sharing this link.


"The new fair housing rules, which apply beginning October 14, 2016, establish nationwide standards which HUD will apply in enforcing the federal Fair Housing Act with respect to alleged harassment based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, familial status or disability. According to HUD, the rules do not create any new forms of liability under the Fair Housing Act but merely clarify HUD’s enforcement policies on “quid pro quo” and “hostile environment” harassment.  In addition, the rules clarify when a person may have vicarious liability for the actions of agents and employees in the context of discriminatory housing practices."

Condominiums, housing co-ops and homeowner associations may be liable for the conduct of community residents which subjects other residents to

Yes, Bob is familiar with some HOA issues and abuses and so is Ken D.  I believe Bob G's legal and judicial abuse and all he has gone thru (please read his book, https://www.amazon.com/Bad-Minds-High-Places-Archipelago/dp/B01K32669I and listen to his interview on Justice Served with Andy Ostrowski, twigscaferadio.com) started with his mother's condo association after she passed away and I believe Bob inherited her home. Bob can correct me if I am mistaken.

Justice Served - Episode 30 - 1-5-16 - Guest: Dr Gary Solomon -  Exploring HOAs, Guardianship Abuse, and Elder Abuse and Litigation Abuse.  Another dynamic guest with a broad range of training and experience in fields affecting millions of Americans across the country. Dr. Gary Solomon is an author, tenured psychology professor at the College of Southern Nevada, psychotherapist, researcher, expert witness, and human rights advocate who has done some groundbreaking work in the area of HOA syndrome, litigation and elder abuse, and other fields pertinent to issues we have continued to discuss on Justice Served. Dr. Solomon's free ebook: hoacrisisinamerica.com, and websites: hoaacademy.com, hoasyndrome.com and professorgarysolomon.com


Justice Served - Episode 31 - 1-6-16 - Guest: Dr. Mario Jimenez - Dr. Mario Jimenez from Florida joins us on "Justice Served" tonight.  Dr Jimenez is a candidate for the Florida Senate and firmly believes,
"There is a war being waged against the family, from the unborn being sold by body parts to the best bidder, to children being trafficked by DCF (3 dollars for each dollar DCF spends in foster homes), to the youth in Juvenile courts being sold for cash as in the kids for cash scandal, to adults being denied access to their children by family courts just to increase state coffers (dollar for dollar federal match for child custody orders), to the elderly in Probate courts and Guardianship programs having their lives’ savings stolen as this report shows.
Bottom line, the entire family is under attack, and what can we do to stop this? We need to vote for VoteFamily.Us candidates all over the USA.  We must all unite to defeat our common enemy, those who are actively working to destroy the American family."  Dr. Jimenez also states: "I am running to restore checks and balances: http://www.votefamily.us/dr-mario-jimenez-in-senate-district-37/, and encourage others to do so in 50 states: http://wa.votefamily.us/vote-family-sites-by-state/"
Dr. Jimenez' passion for reform and his decision to run for public office is driven due to his own personal experiences in the court system in Florida and what he has discovered while being entangled in these dysfunctional and questionable systems that are supposed to be systems of justice. Please join us for what will be another informative Justice Served and get to know Dr. Mario Jimenez and why the residents of Florida and really all Americans are fortunate for this candidate and his "voice," focus and plan for reform!  For more information on Dr. Jimenez see: http://www.votefamily.us/dr-mario-jimenez-in-senate-district-37/,

Justice Served - Episode 32 - 1-7-16 - Guest: Ward Lucas - Ward Lucas joins us on Justice served tonight. We are going to continue to introduce our listeners to some of the issues and abuses, as well as the judicial and legal abuses plaguing HOA homeowners in mandatory HOAs in Pennsylvania and across America.

Ward is the best selling author of "Neighbors at War - The Creepy Case Against Your HOA," and also has evolved and grown to become one of the leading HOA experts and provides one of the nations leading resources on HOAs, attracting the nations leading advocates and experts contributing on his one of a kind national blog, www.neighborsatwar.com.

Ward brings his personal experience, as well as his experience as an award wining investigative journalist of 40 years to his work on the HOA issues and abuses far too many HOA homeowners find themselves facing and are forced to endure in thousands of communities across America. Most homeowners have no clue of "what they are buying themselves into," when it comes to HOAs, or what can, and does, creep into their community, or their HOA boards; an unyielding influence, or oversight that is not for benefit of the HOA homeowners!


Justice Served - Episode 33 - 1-12-16 - Guest: John Adams - An activist and advocate, John Adams from Centre County will be in studio to discuss his efforts to expose and address corruption in Centre County under the leadership of District Attorney Stacey Parks Miller, and his other efforts, and those of the groups in which he is involved, to branch out and address issues of good government, and grass roots activism across the country.

John has been an inspiring force for change among the millennials, and has traveled to Washington, D.C. to participate in the "million mask march," has recently traveled to Cleveland to bring attention to police reform in light of the shooting of 12-year old Tamir Rice, and is organizing an effort through "The Pohttps://www.facebook.com/anonymousstatecollegelulzsec/?fref=tswer of the People" and "Operation Helping Hands Philly" to travel to Philadelphia on January 17 to provide food, clothing, and supplies to the needy there.  More info for John Adams: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1215527179, Anonymous Sate College - https://www.facebook.com/anonymousstatecollegelulzsec/?fref=ts


Justice Served - Episode 34 - 1-13-16 - Andy, Lou and Friends - A continuation of the "Sanity Check" show and the celebration of the" Blessing of the Books Ceremony" at Twig's Cafe - Promoting Literacy

The ceremony for the "Blessing of the Books" collection, and friendly competition, between the Panuska College of Professional Studies of the University of Scranton, and the residents of the Tunkhannock area.Though everyone won by advancing the cause of literacy, the people of Tunkhannock collected about 10,000 books, which will be sent all over the world to help children learn to read.It was really inspiring event to be a part of, and the educators from the University of Scranton, led by Dr. Debra Pelligrino, Dean of the Panuska College, are a true tribute to the role of the teaching profession in this country.

I could go on talking about it, and the basic role of literacy in providing for an educated populace in control of our own destiny, but, for now, I just urge people to support the cause of literacy, and support our teachers, in any way you can.Thank you to Lori Bogedin of Twigs Cafge and Lou Jasikoff for all you did to make this a successful event.

Then, call in guests that include Mr. X and Mike Lacey and an informative discussion on the "corporate structure" and current laws shielding and protecting "corporations" from the range of abuses and criminality that can and may be carried out by corporations, or directors of corporations in America, with little or no accountability and especially, no personal accountability.  This "corporate shielding" is being used to take advantage of all Americans, solely for the benefit of those who know how to use and even abuse this system for their own benefit.  (Please see the photos of the celebration of the "Blessing of the Books Ceremony" attached.)

 Justice Served - Episode 35 - 1-14-16 - Guest: Athena Roe - Colorado attorney Athena Roe, of the National Association of Probate Reform and Advocacy will talk about her work in shedding light on, and bringing reform to the probate court (will and testament courts) systems across the country, where billions of dollars of wealth are exchanged annually. Athena's  organizations discussed: harjustice.org and theharcompany.org. Additional information on harjustice.org: "The National Association for Probate Reform and Advocacy or "NAPRA" is dedicated to ending crimes against humanity in America's probate courts including: fraud, intimidation, bullying, harassment, and financial exploitation through public awareness campaigns." The organization has an impressive Board and I am sure you will recognize some of these individuals from their advocacy and work on legal and judicial reform. I truly believe this is an interview all in America should hear, as the discussion centers around the abuses of Americans in the probate courts

AVW -

"BobG" is Robert Grundstein, rgr...@pshift.com.

I don't know if he knows anything about this particular stuff (HOA & friends), and I myself certainly know nothing about it, but I encourage its discussion on this JudicialMisconduct Google Group, so I thank you folks for raising these issues and getting involved here …
