Title: Board Member & Whistleblower, Omega Villas Condominium Association


βœ‰οΈ Three Escalation Emails Sent

This week, I sent three formal email briefings summarizing documented misconduct, financial exposure, and regulatory failure at Omega Villas. These emails were sent to:

  • 40+ emails/complaints to oversight agencies and officials
  • Watchdog groups and national HOA reform leaders
  • Local and national media contacts

πŸ“Š Attachments Included:

Each message included a growing archive of evidence:

  • 9 DBPR complaints and filings
  • A Florida Bar complaint
  • Arbitration documents
  • Photos and reports of furring strips, insulation removal, and window shift
  • PDF copies of city-issued fines, legal correspondence, and exhibit summaries

⛔️ As of Today: No Response

Not one agency has acknowledged receipt, launched an investigation, or responded in writing.

That includes:

  • DBPR Office of General Counsel
  • Florida Attorney General’s Office
  • City of Plantation (Building Department & Internal Affairs)
  • Media outlets including the Miami Herald, Sun Sentinel, NBC, and CNN

🚨 What We’re Exposing:

  • $1M+ in city fines already issued
  • $7.8M+ in estimated community damage from construction misrepresentations
  • Window replacements ($10K–$15K+ each) triggered by undocumented wall shifts
  • Insulation removed and never replaced in pitched roofs
  • 9+ formal complaints filed in 2024 with zero agency accountability to date

πŸ•΅οΈ What This Tells Us:

This silence is no longer an oversight. It’s a message. And that message is clear: The system isn’t protecting owners. It’s protecting itself.

But now, that silence is public.
And starting next week, it will be recorded here β€” every Monday β€” until someone acts.
