Building age, decay grows; reserves don't. When the problem gets worse, the result can be large special assessments, property value decline, member discontent and political paralysis. Here are some ideas on addressing all these.
Alone, or with the community, the Board should adopt goals: examples include improved property values, keeping buildings safe and water tight and minimizing insurance claims.
Then the focus should turn to tactics: what information and assistance is needed to decide on the best way to achieve the goals and who can assist in providing that information and assistance. It is unreasonable to expect volunteer directors to be able to decide on or implement tactics without professional help when the project costs or member discontent and suspicion are high or when the tasks are particularly complex. Management can help but its basic scope of work is for routine and not extraordinary services required to manage and finance with members' approval of a large rehabilitation project.
