Dented garage doors

Hope you are having a lovely Memorial Day weekend at Palermo. And for those of you not here this weekend, we miss you as we soak up the sun at the beautiful pools. Today Positively Palermo is highlighting some resident comments posted elsewhere on this site about management's recent letters regarding dented garage doors. People are up in arms, and say they consider the letters rude and misinformed. Many of the dented doors aren't black and white cases according to the comments and other e-mails sent in. Damage often wasn't caused by "illegal parking" by the actual owners or renters of the units, people say, but by others. Certainly us neighbors at Palermo and managers can find a way to solve this problem together, because as one resident said didn't the managers help "create the situation" by lax enforcement of driveway parking rules? Here's an idea: Have the managers come in with a single contractor with a lower rate with residents paying part of the bill, and then make certain there's enforcement of the driveway parking rules after that. Miss Penny Lane says: Wouldn't this be a win-win for the Palermo community?

I got a notice (owner) but the "damage" was done by someone else who parked in my driveway. The HOA should be responsible for the damage because they are LETTING people park in all these spots and not towing.

I agree (above) big problem with this on Sandy Point. The place looks like a used car lot. I think the plan was supposed to be a car in the garage and an extra in the parking lots.It just seems lazy that people park in neighbors units...and of course THE FIRE LANES! Why should people have to pay for damage when neighbors use their driveways with out permission.

YES, the hoa let this happen. People own and might only be here on weekends or seasonally. Colt and management don't cite cars in these drive ways. Then the owner get a threatening letter about parking illegally when they didn't even do it. Management has helped to create this situation by not even citing, let alone towing. This is the result off more poor oversight by the board/DRM.

They told people not to park in the fire lanes (i.e., the streets) so people then just went and parked in the driveways of units not occupied because of foreclosure or because the owners are out of town. Management DID CREATE this problem. Colt does nothing. Instead of letters why didn't the board/DRM call the owners to see what's going on?

Does anybody know why they didn't pickup the trash today?

No trash that day because of the Monday holiday. Everything gets pushed back a day, so trash was Tuesday and Friday, not Monday and Thursday. Then it gets back to normal the next week.

Take a look on Sandy Point. One home is empty and bank-owned but the tenants across the way park in the driveway. Colt NOTHING event though the place is clearly empty and has a big for sale sing on it.

My garage opening has been damaged from the previous tenants driving into it. I would love to have access to touch up paint to cover up the black tire scuffs and chipped stucco. Can we not have a small set of paints inside the clubhouse for such touch ups and keep the neighborhood looking new and perfect?
